if RPG Maker has the features you need then go for it, Making an RPG will take alot of time anyway so there is no point in making things harder for yourself than necessary.
If you want to learn lower level programming i'd recommend making something smaller.
RPGs tend to be quite heavy on high level logic which is insanely painful to do with a low level language (If you do write a RPG in C or C++ i'd highly recommend adding atleast basic scripting support for things like NPCs, Quests, etc as hardcoding those things will make things rather annoying in the long run)
