What does it mean for a game to be an RPG?
I dunno about anybody else, but when somebody says "RPG" I think "Stats! Experience! Gold! Levels!" Something along those lines. So, like Kentona said earlier, it's about the virtual number crunching.

Snide self-jabbing commentary aside, how did Matsumori Days get to be listed on the top ten most blogs? I must blog like an absolute fiend!
Need face graphics
Simply saying "male with short, black hair" doesn't tell us anything, outside of the possibility that you're using the 2K/2K3 RTP. Knowing what manner of graphical styling you're looking for would help us help you more efficiently.
If you want to use FaceMaker, that's one style. If you want to use default RTP (for whatever engine you're using), that's another style. If you're using a custom style, mayhap a small sample of what you'd be looking for would be in order.

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
Plot-wise, I just started Chapter 3 in Valkyrie Profile 2 - Silmeria. Gameplay wise, I've been wandering various previously cleared dungeons for skills, exp, and crystals. Grinding? Yes. Troublesomely annoying. Perhaps. No way to get around it? Well, I've been looking into that...
I'm also exploring Timber, right after the event with the non-President of Galabadia in Final Fantasy 8. I've been hitting a mess of random sequences with Rinoa and Selphie in my party that I swear I never got before.
Spore more overhordes! My interest in this game has been re-kindled, to a degree. I endear the Civilization phase, but it's a tad too short for it's own good.
I was working of World of Xeen last night. Man, does that game/games/fusion tech bring back memories!
Self-jab: Now, like other threads that I've posted in, this one is bound to perish in flames.

Review Just One Game
It feels like it's been forever since I've done a proper review. I blame the fallout from Fable of Heroes. Anyway, I think I'm up to do one more!

This is the stat that I'm always interested in. That stat would include demos that are still being developed, certainly. But it also includes completed games that are just sitting there
I'm number 145? Gooooo meeee! Oh, uh... sorry!
Oh boy, not the Water Trial!
The thing about RTP stairs in VX is that they give me the sensation that they always go to higher ground, not lower ground.
EDIT: yeah, sorry, but those stairs look really strange and just not right.
It looks strange because the shadows are on the wrong side of the elevated portions...
Yeah, the stairs were a bad idea. They'll be cut, no doubt. However, I'm not exactly comfortable with the initial maps as a final-product idea either.
*Edit: You know what's so ironic about this? I think I've an idea of how to do what McBrick suggests, but in XP.
I fiddled around a bit, and came up with the following:
I don't know about anybody else, but this works for me a lot better than anything else I've seen on the matter so far. It's not totally perfect, but I'm wasn't necessarily looking for perfection when I made that. However, like I said before, I was in XP when I took those screenies. This doesn't help my VX predicament.
...Unless I want to import an XP tileset into TileE? No, I want to avoid that, if at all possible.
Oh boy, not the Water Trial!
The thing about RTP stairs in VX is that they give me the sensation that they always go to higher ground, not lower ground. I even played around with stairs a bit, and I just didn't like how they looked. And if I don't like it, bad mapper as I am, I'm figuring nobody else would appreciate it either. As for ladders, they simply wouldn't work for this situation because of how the game camera is situated, and what illusion of depth I want to give.
I agree with you that an illusion of depth must be relayed, and that these maps aren't relaying it very well. But finding how to relay the illusion that I'm looking for is the tricky part!
...Wait, I think my Muse has hit me with something. Give me a bit...
*Edit: Okay, here's another try at getting the depth I want. Here, I'm attempting to, use stairs, as per McBrick's suggestion:
*Edit2: That... kinda looks ugly, now that I actually look at it.

My Matsumori Muse has hammered me an idea (as is it's want), but I'm not sure if the effect works at all. Time to post some screenies in an attempt, feeble as the mapping may be, to relay the kind of idea I have.
Here's the Water Trial's entrance when you first come in:
After reducing the water level once, it should look something like this:
The final version, as the plan goes, would look something like:
So, the question I essentially have is: Does this work for the effect I'm looking for? Or no?
