Sounds like an interesting concept. IIRC there was a patch very similar to this that had Delita as the main character, you could check that out in Archives to give some ideas if you want (It was called KoI, the patch got abandoned).
Be prepared that this sounds like a more difficult patch to make than you think. Events, jobs, and story all need to be created and balanced. If you're serious about this, be prepared for a big workload before seeing huge progress.
I'm sure if you can show that you're dedicated to a project like this, you can get some people on board. Obviously I can't help you with this because I don't know shit about any form of FFT hacking, but I'm happy to throw in my opinions and help you critique your work.
