Thank you once again for putting an incomplete game into a more complete state. You honestly have done wonders for my experience with this.

Some suggestions for your consideration.

 

1) As some have mentioned, Tasnica can be explored further.

2) This might be challenging but having an area with regards to the "Underworld" might be good since its mentioned that Thanatos and the baddies made a deal with them. I recall there was an unused evil looking thing sprite. That can be explored. Of course I guess the story might be abit original. Likewise, given the lore on the ruins mentioning along the lines of trying to summon something bad, that can be linked. Additionally, I do not ever recall it being mentioned why Dyluck is someone between good and evil that makes the perfect vessel. Perhaps all this can become 1 part of the story

3) the mysterious moving object in Northtown that is viewed from the overworld after a certain point in the game but has no meaning can be done for some simple fun event

@reinhart: Thank you for these good suggestions!

1 - True.

2 - Yes some more underworld for late/end game could be pretty nice! I just have to figure out how to do it so it doesn't look too cheap with what I am able to do.

Just yesterday I was thinking about that Thanatos line about Dyluck. Something like "Born in the shadows and raised in the light of Mana". Very mysterious, even more since Dyluck's parents are nice elderly people in Kippo village. There's definitely something to use here if I find the right way to do it.

3 - Haha! That thing! True, could be a fun easter egg. Now I just have to figure out what it could be and how I could make it on a ground map.
