Okay, to tell the truth, I don't like this game very much. Why? Well, because with the exception of limit breaks, all the characters might as well be interchangable. There's no reason to use Barret instead of Cid later in the game, because Cid's Highwind limit is better than any of Barret's, and the character's stats simply aren't different enough to make a noticable difference.
So I'm proposing this challenge: Each character gets a specific materia setup that ONLY they can use. Materia setups mimic the classes of other FF games; essentially, the characters now have fixed clases. If there's a number next to the materia name in the Materia allowed column, that means that you can only use spells of that level or lower. So Restore3 means you can only use Cure, Cure 2, and Regen. If there's no number, you can use any spell the materia grants. Also, anyone can use the All (support) materia.
Some of the materia allowed might seem kinda strange. I decided some are okay because they fit the character. Others, like Cait Sith being able to use Ultima, are because they most closely duplicate some spell not in FF7 (in this case, Ultima is the closest thing to Holy there is).
Sources are not allowed.
Also, the only characters allowed to use thier ultimate weapons are Barret, Cid, Aeris, and Tifa.
