PhoenixAsh, in FFT, you could spend much longer planning your strategy. You had jobs, reaction abilities, secondary abilities, move abilities, and counter abilities to consider, not to mention the Brave and Faith of your characters. Of course, its a Tactics game, and that's to be expected.

In an RPG such as FFVII is, I don't like customizable. I feel it takes away from the character's battle personality. FFVIII had this problem as well, but to a lesser extent. I liked the junction system.

I do, however, like to rename my characters.
