ALTEREGO'S PROFILE

Oooh, shiny! *_* ...I like this map. You went a bit overboard with the placement of plants and stuff, but the result is actually pretty good. Just be careful when placing stuff that could hamper the player's movement. (Rocks, Tree trunks, etc.)

Aside from that I'd change two things: I'd make that tree on the middle a bit bigger if it is supposed to be important. And I'd change the colors of the background for some slightly more vibrant ones, so they match the colors of your tiles.

Awesome! That's quite an improvement over the past version. You're doing a fairly good job at matching the 'painting' style of those tiles...
Btw, the outline on Squall's sprite is lighter than its surroundings, and it sticks out like a sore thumb. =P

Well, you don't have to thicken all the lines, just the 'outer-lines', the lines that differentiate an object or a section of the map from the rest. For example, thicken the line between the walls and the ground, but not the lines between walls. Those 'inner-lines' can gradually become one-pixel thick... Also, I noticed you doubled the lines on the inside of things, which reduces their area and makes them look 'muddier'. Do it on the outside instead, so they stay closer to how you originally envisioned them.

And it may be unorthodox but, experiment with the second outline, give it some opacity to soften the effect and see if you like it. Link

I don't know, this structure looks too boring/monotonous. Unless that's what you were aiming for, I'd suggest spicing it up a little, for example, use other tiles to differentiate the floor from the walls. Also, try to add some detail like carvings on the walls, or ornamental columns, etc... Also, what's with those colored flames? They look real silly next to such drab building. =P
