Restrict espers by character.
So a co-worker of mine and I have sort of been working on a hack for the past few months, the basis of which was limiting customization (or making characters more unique, depending on your point of view) by restricting espers. That is, we didn't want everyone to be able to equip every esper; rather, we wanted to keep a semblance of individuality for each character beyond their unique battle commands and starting stats.
I went neck-deep into this the past few nights at work after brainstorming on it for a while, and finally finished it tonight. Unfortunately all I have now are screen shots as I'm still trying to come up with a way to make it portable (since I'm sure anyone that wants to use it won't want to use the specific restrictions we've imposed) without forcing people to dive into the .asm file.

Anyway, I'm curious about who may be interested in something like this. Would it be worth the effort to make it portable? In my searches, I came across a thread from 2010 where someone was asking about this and DjinnAndTonic gave a response that sort of became the base of what I ended up doing. That's about the only interest I've seen in this sort of thing, though.
