Final Fantasy Hacktics

Would it be difficult to just randomly reskin new recruits with a monster sprite? Same stats and everything else just every now and then when you go to recruit a male or female soldier and the results come back with a goblin or Uribo?

Uribos are sapient, right? They look like they'd be sapient. Upright, thumbs, pathetic in nearly every other way... Sounds like a sapient species to me.

Something that always bothered me about Final Fantasy Tactics was the fact goblins can't take class levels.

They're smart enough to have language, make their own clothes, and employ diverse monsters outside their own species for complex war but they can't figure out how to throw a potion bottle at some one?

Thanks. I really appreciate the advice.
Seems to me;
If the game is relatively playable on PPSSPP then "War of the Lions; Kind Of" sounds like a good starting point for me.
+ sounds more like a simple community patch with out putting in additional content, which is neat but I'm excited to try something new.
Journey of the Five sounds like a complete overhauled till it's more of a fan game than Final Fantasy Tactics as I know it. So I'll probably check that out next... and/or maybe some of the higher difficulty mods.

Erm... A big reason why I'm hesitating to play War of the Lions is because I don't have a PSP and google was kind of filled with people complaining about problems with emulating it.

Seems like the sound effects are still an issue, and/or there's a massive frame rate drop with the arithmetician abilities to name two. I'm not opposed to giving it a try, though.

I don't... What? .... WHAT!? *Hyperventilating*

Okay, let me start at the beginning; a few weeks ago I decided to boot up Final Fantasy VI and try a nice low level play through so I could play with the stat increases from magicite and just goof around. I got towards the end of the World of Balance and got a little bored because, oddly enough, low level play throughs actually require a surprisingly great deal of grind.

I'll come back to it, but now I'm all thirsty for character customization in an awesome Final Fantasy type setting. You know what had AMAZING character customization, arguably the greatest plot, and somehow managed to make grinding kind of fun? Final Fantasy Tactics. Oh man... I must have beat that game nearly a dozen times. I always get so lost in trying different job combinations, abusing the degenerator to make bad builds viable. Beating the end boss with a 'roided out generic squire was so satisfying. *Loving sigh*
I hear there's even a couple of other versions out now so maybe they'll have some bonus content.
...Yeah? The GBA one sucks and doesn't have any bonus content? Lame
Oh? The PSP version has a new characters, new missions, and new jobs? Neat!
Tsk, slow down issues? This additional content also looks pretty weak. I wonder if there are any mods

I don't.... I don't know where to start. Do I dip a toe? Do I dive in head first!? War of the Gods? Final Fantasy Tactics: Kind Of? A minimalistic fan patch? I don't~ I can't~ I just! I don't know what to do!!
