Are 2d sprite characters possible in 3D Torque?

If I was trying to create a game like Final Fantasy Tactics, where the floor is 3D, but my characters are sprites...How would I go about creating the characters as sprites and importing them into Torque? What about the animations? I know the steps for a normal 3D character, but what about a 2D sprite character? Has anyone encountered this answer or maybe experienced another thread with the same problem with a possible solution? Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
