I can't load that image link, so forgive me if this question is answered by it:
If I use the last save point before the final boss, am I past the point of no return?
Also - another thing I am wondering (and I can't go back to the overworld to confirm this now): Is it possible to get all stamps after the world goes dark, if I missed some before? I am thinking the winter towns in particular may be off limits later in the game?
Not a problem. Mediafire isn't really an image hosting website, it's mainly designed for downloads. While they do let you preview the image, sometimes it's a little buggy. If you download the image, your download should work just fine, however. Anyway, back to your question: yes, unfortunately, if you're at the last save point (just before the final boss), you are past the point of no return. Even though you can go back to the previous section in Dark's Fortress, you cannot 'call' the elevators up anymore, since one of your parties has to be on a lower platform to have the elevator move up. This is the only reason you cannot take the elevators back down to the main entrance to Dark's Fortress. Note that if you use a cheat to walk through walls, you CAN go back, as you can just bypass the elevators and walk straight down (instead of 'calling' the elevators up). If you need the "walk through walls" cheat, here it is:
C071FA00
C0728C80
Note that you must enter both of them if you want to use it properly. If you just want to go back to the overworld, you can use the cheat, then disable it once you're outside (in case you don't like cheating). This cheat doesn't have any negative effect on the game, by the way.
As for your question regarding the stamps, the only stamp you can miss out on is stamp #22, which is located in Jem. Since Jem is destroyed after darkness covers the land, you have to get that stamp BEFORE this happens. If you didn't get it before darkness fell, then sorry, but it's too late to get it now.
Hope that helps!
