Ok I took a break from taking a break and got some work done, mainly connecting a bunch of maps and finishing off cutscenes. You can now explore the entirety of Kumo's building, most of Acaridae's Residential district (it's small, but that's because you have to earn quite a bit to live there- most live in the slums). You can go to the train station and then catch the train to Central District, which is fully explorable. The second map needs more NPC's though- so far all you can speak to in the second map is Zeke/Zell.
I also did some spriting which involved fixing Zeke's hair because I'm lazy and I have no idea where I got the original sprite from. He's now wearing a slightly editted version of Sithjester's Balamb Garden uniform with correct hair. Woo.

I also changed the font used for Cosplay Crisis (the files will be packaged with the game). I was using a font called 'Orange Kid' but I switched to one called 'PF Tempesta Seven'.
Still can't figure out how to make the text menus completely opaque =/.

I have quite a bit of spriting and eventing to do, but it's nothing too strenuous. Sentry bots and a guard uniform. The only thing slightly difficult is the guard's battler but I might end up skipping out on a few poses because I should be working on character battlers and not monster battlers -.-.

Oh and McDonalds looks like an 80's Diner. I dunno, I tried spriting McDonalds, got the front bench and some food displays done and gave up. Stupid McDonalds.
