I'd go with how Chrono Cross went at it then.
They decided in order to give their many playable characters some "spice" that they'd play with their accents, as well as bending their accents as a good sized reflection of the character that they molded before you, considering that you spent a lot of time reading in that game, it helped them a lot as far as adding charm through the dialogue writing of the game, which would be a great asset to Classic as well.
Example: One of my favorite characters, Orcha and a few other characters used a made-up accent called Guldovian, which was simply Casual English but with a twist of an occasional, well... What I would call "catchphrase" bit, kind of like the smurfs and how they'd go something like "Oh yeah, dude, I totally murfed the smurf out of Smurfette's mind, dude!(Did not happen in the smurfs, but it might as well have.) or in the CC example, it'd go something like "Don'tCHA think you'll be goin' without me!".
Basically, make use of these elements I presented and bend them to a more comedic perspective.
If there's something more specific about what you're inquiring for the dialogue, I'd like to know so I can help more efficiently
