Another thing i wondered about was the portraits. That would also be a lot to manage as well right? not to mention at least 3 full original sprites don't have portraits attached to them as is.
Portraits are a pain, but what if you made it so the game simply uses their Menu/save screen sprite as the portraits? Sure people may not like not having a true portrait there but with that many sprites in the game that would be a lot.
In the hack I'm messing with, since most of the mains were replaced with special npcs i plan on using their own standing battle sprite as each of the portraits anyway. Hell, ffv and some others did it that way anyway so not such a big deal.
