Mass Sprite Sheet Expansion Battle & NPC

I think the best option is to have actors 15 and 16 be similar to ff7's vincent and yuffie. they have their own dialog and stuff but are not necessary to the story. you could recruit any 2 extra characters who all come with different strengths and weakness. but once youve chosen the two thats IT for that playthrough. one extra could be if u let shadow die.

they wouldnt add much to the story and wouldnt be part of the ending but it seems the least effort. another thing i thought of was erasing a few default characters in the WOR by choice. example u save Cid so he overwrites Strago and so when u find strago hes not there etc

my only thing is i want ANY actor to be able to equip espers for stat bonus even iff they cant learn magic...
