I think those Suikoden characters are only 1.5 though so it may work just fine depending on the type of sprite you're going for. Both XP and Pixel Myth are set up for 1.5 high characters so a full 2 tiles will look too tall. High Fantasy is 2-3 tiles high depending on the character but the graphics are all 3D making them harder to personalize. The High Fantasy series, Pixel Myth, or XP's RTP. There are some tilesets made with taller sprites in mind. It's not strange to have battler sprites that are a different scale than the rest, you wouldn't necessarily have to change sets. For animation there are a number of programs that support it including Photoshop and GIMP but I prefer something that's been made specifically for it like Graphics Gale or Pyxel Edit. You just can't use pure vector programs like Inkscape or Illustrator, and usually it's nice to have something that supports layers.
For making pixel art just about any art program will do.
