Yes, custom sprites will revert to the original sprites (although still using the custom palette) whenever they perform an action that is not in the custom sprite sheet. AFAIK, there is no way around this.

There is a tool called FFTEVGRP in the downloads section that will allow you to modify the sprites and portraits in unit.bin and wrldface.bin, which are the sprites and palettes used in the formation screen. Be aware that not all characters are in unit.bin and wrldface.bin, for the most part it's only characters who join your party in vanilla. To get custom characters, or characters that don't normally join your party, such as Zalbaag or Chapter 2 Delita, to show up properly requires some hex editing. Also, to get unit.bin and wrldface.bin out of (and back into, once you're done) the iso requires a tool called CDMage, which is also available for download on this site. There's a tutorial around here somewhere that will guide you through all the proper steps.

As for having a lot of money, I think there's an asm hack that might help you along... I don't think there's anything that you can modify in FFTPatcher that will give you more money, although you're free to change the prices of the items in stores so that you don't NEED that much money in the first place. Alternatively, you could just cheat to give yourself a ton of money using a save game editor or a gameshark or some such thing.

EDIT: Also, the massive amount of smilies was completely unnecessary.

I've attached the default Chapter 1 Ramza sprite to this post; you can download it and then use Shishi's to import it into your iso. For future reference, it might be a good idea to use Shishi's to export the original sprites before you put in new sprites; that way if you decide later that you don't like the custom ones, you can put the defaults back easily.

All of the original sprites are located on the main site for download.

You sure about that? Because when I click on the links to the "sprite files", I only see the first line of the sprites rather than a download prompt.

you're right, my bad i thought they were downloaded files because the link ended with a .spr
I do seem to recall needing to rip a few of the original sprites directly from the iso using shishis
