Yeah you can control Espers and Guest characters now. I can't say I've done much with Espers beyond summoning Belias to open Giruvegan, but we were pretty ridiculously overpowered for most of the game so far, so there was no need. Being able to freely execute the special moves does seem pretty handy though.

As for Guests, Larsa no longer has infinite potions, but the upsides outweigh that easily. For one, he has Cura which is actually better than having him spam potions, and he also comes with Shades of Black which has quite huge potential damage. Can't really say he was nerfed much. Since Mist charges are now separate from MP, everyone's base MP is now much higher than before, which is especially noticeable on Guests.

Reddas will be joining soon so I'll see what technicks he comes with.

Edit: Reddas has the Arise and Holy spells, of which especially the former comes in handy. He doesn't have much magic power so Holy isn't of much use. Still, a nice ally to have.
