For those who want to know about playing as Arc. (Please note this is tentative, and while it is unlikely is subject to change.)
Also, spoiler alert. This is just an outline of what happens, as I haven't finalized the dialogue for it yet, and don't want to spoil too much.

Spoiler For How to play with Arc:
After you beat Frey, Arc will come in and finish him off. Then Dakumeshia will appear and the scenario can go one of three ways.

If Aria or Roland have the Uni-Blade equipped:
If Aria has the Uni-Blade equipped, then Dakumeshia will attempt to kill Arc, but Roland will jump in front of the blast. He doesn't die, but he needs to recuperate for the next fight, so your party will be Aria and Arc for the fight against Dakumeshia's first form.

If Roland has the Uni-Blade equipped, then Dakumeshia will attempt to kill Arc, but Aria will jump in front of the blast. She doesn't die, but she needs to recuperate for the next fight, so your party will be Roland and Arc for the fight against Dakumeshia's first form.

After either of these scenarios, Arc will attempt to kill Dakumeshia, but is overpowered and dies. Your party then becomes Aria and Roland once again for the final battle.


If neither Aria or Roland have the Uni-Blade equipped:
Dakumeshia will attempt to kill Arc, and succeeds. You'll have to fight Dakumeshia as Aria and Roland.

Would you change Arc's appearance to match his change in personality?  Because can't imagine his current form betraying his former evil master and working with the protagonists. ;)

I had not considered that. I don't plan on doing this, unless I see a lot of requests for this.
Consider General Leo from FF6 and Beatrix from FF9. They both served evil (yet secondary, but Frey is a secondary villain as well, so...) villains in their respective games, but they decided to fight alongside the player at one point. Neither changed their appearance, which kinda made them that much more awesome, because you got to watch them be awesome before they joined you; then they joined as they had been, which was the awesome version of them you got to see.
That is kinda the reason I hadn't considered this.

I assume it's a bit like Cecil in FFIV and the main foe in ROL2, right? In FFIV Cecil is dark knight when game starts and works for the bad guys, but he somehow wake up and decide that he doesn't want to steal the crystal and side with the good guys instead. In ROL2 case, some event involving an ally of the main game foe causes him to side with you at one point then help you defeat the ally that threatens the entire world for real. The plot twist is really random, though :P, because it happens at the very end of the game. I had some low quality video of the ROL2 final battle (spoilers) on Myspace, since the video exceeded the 10 mins 59 secs limit on Youtube, uploaded 3 years ago, that shows the Final sequence in action. You may be able to find it :P

Yeah, I guess it's kinda like Cecil, except that he changes appearance and is the main character. From what you said, though, it does sound similar to ROL2, but I never got that far, so...

On a more project-related note, here are some new screenies!  :D
The first is showcasing the beginning of the overworld for the Shadowed dimension. I still need to tweak the map.
The second is showcasing the puzzle engine in its current state. The best part about the puzzle engine is that I don't have to individually track the coordinates of each block.

Glad to see new progress :)

I like the look so far, and nice to see you found some good use for some of my town sprites :)

Suggestion, though: You should maybe make movement slower, because it may be a bit hard to control. It reminds me the PS1 version of Final Fantasy 6 (III on the SNES) when you held down the run button while having spring shoes equipped. I had an hard time aiming through narrow paths x.x

It's a bit slower oncalc, plus this is just the bare-bone structure of it. I'll be adding in NPCs and the like and after all that I will adjust the speed.

pretty cool!
animated walking would be a huge help appearance wise and it's not that hard to manage, but regardless i love how it's turning out

a question: do you have it set to display a particular tile automatically if the data for that point is out of the set range(like the trees outside the path in early pkmn) or do you have to define data for every point that may appear on screen? this is something i was trying to get work myself a while ago...

Aaah ok ^^

Generally the walking speed in RPGs varies from 2.5 to 5 tiles a second I think. Some games like Star Ocean 1 got it faster, though

Do you always control Roland and have Aria follow you, or can you switch?  Or does it not matter either way?
