RPG Maker MV to Modern JS

RPG Maker MV refactor to modern JavaScript ES6+

It is just like the title says. I'm preparing a blog post on why am I doing this. In short I think ES6 classes are way more readable than thousands of prototype lines. Also, it's a good case study. In the future I plan on also adding Typescript.
