I've considered doing a template patch for adding additional characters, but I haven't had the time to invest into that in the last little while. I know how to do some of it, but I'd need to pour through the dumps to find the rest of it (mostly just need to find the locations for the code.)
The only catch that I can see to doing this is that it may mean having to replace the bytes for the merit award and imp equipment -- if you've ever changed equipment properties in FF3usME you know what I mean -- to make room for lists of usable equipment for these two new characters. Other difficulties will also be placing these characters in the airship (and setting up auto-removal of equipment), in the final scenes, and wherever else you may need/want to put them. I know it seems like such an easy thing to do, but as Angelo essentially pointed out, it quickly starts to spiral out of control with more and more things to fix.
I may try this for myself after I finish the research papers looming over me. I've got a few other patches to release anyways, so maybe I'll send them all out at once.
