I finally got the chance to progress in this project. I expanded small exits and made the same thing I did with FF6LE to Zone Doctor 3.8.4.
I think Zone Doctor is great to do map edit but I'm not 100% sure about events. I also relocated the data in the rom (view readme) to accommodate with my newly fixed FF6SE patch and decreased the space used for some expansions, in order to maximize free space while keeping a decent expansion:
NPCs: + ~220
Event triggers: + ~210
small exits: + ~200
Tile maps: + 15% (of total tilemap space)
I had a problem with Zone Doctor because it always show an error when saving tile map 350. Since the editor was decompressing extra bytes (expansion) the last tilemap had a size of roughly 52 000 bytes. This was the cause the error. I noticed the tilemap pointers were pointing to the end of the data, so I removed the saving for this particular tilemap since it is not used. So tilemap 350 is never saved.

Awesome, so... is this the final step, or there's the chance to have further improvements?

I'm probably going to fix the exit bug that was in the original FF6LE. Other than that, I don't see room for improvement except adding empty map. However, I would need to add more possible NPCs, event triggers and exit for the new maps.
Right now I'm thinking about doing a monster expansion patch and coding a formation, pack and monster data editor to work with my FF6SE patch to edit expanded monsters.

@ Tenkarider - exit bug: can't have an exit to a map over map 100 or it will loop back to 0. It was fixed in current version of Zone Doctor but is present in the regular LE.
We are born, live, die and then do the same thing over again.

Just to be sure... you cannot have a map over map 100 with an exit,
or a map with an exit to a map over map 100?

No idea what problem i'm having now.
If the expanded information is just a pasting of default vanilla information, it should technically work even if I've made modifications to the original spot, so I'm lost.
