Holy shit this thread blew up.

So, uh.... I could make this long-winded and reply to everything above, but I'm just gonna say what I think is important.

As far as abilities go, as long as we make sure everything is figured out in character sheets before the characters are used, we're good. That way there are no surprises; It's highly possible characters could gain some nostalgic skills throughout the game with everyone's approval; A good example for me to for Ritz and Marche to gain more job-related skills; Because having them all at the start would give insane versatility. But I never WANT them all, anyways. It's just a temporary limit, I guess? We're all (I assume we are at least) adults here; So we shouldn't have a problem talking out our problems; Especially since, like was said above, we're all playing villains and heroes; Therefor being bias in a fight has no real purpose. Plus, since we're 'adults', I expect us to not do that anyways.

Based off of Shoryu's template, I'm going to go ahead and work on my characters a bit. As far as summons go, as long as they don't end up having the ability to be abused to all hell, I think they'll be fine. I mean, even Marche has specific summoning despite not even being a mage; He has the Human Totema. Which could serve as a pretty badass finisher, or mook nuking attack if the opportunity comes up. I don't see every character having summons though; Ritz can't use Totema like Marche can, and she's not invested in the Summoner Job Class as far as I'm concerned, so she'll be a bit more limited in that regard; But she has magic to make up for it. 

I [i]might[/i] consider using Tidus, depending on the rest of my roster. If you could play Ex Death that'd be pretty cool if I brought in Galuf. The weird thing about the FFV cast is they all fight similarly to Bartz anyways, again, due to the job system in their game: So I'll see what end's up happening. I'm focusing on my  FF:TA characters, for now. As far as villains go? Kefka's on the top of my list; Psychotic bastards are my favorite.

Also, somewhat hilarious since Marche is going to be on the side of Chaos: The Human Totema is literally based off of Emperor Mateus.

It's even called Mateus.
