Espers, Telementals, Lutz and his powers

In PSII English version, Lutz introduces himself as "the last telemental."

But in the Japanese version, he merely states he is "the last Esper.

Does this mean that Luz is not a telemental, as in he does not have psychic or mental powers?
Is so, when what does Esper mean? I always assumed it was ESP-er, as in Extra Sensory Perception, i.e., psychic/metal powers. That, and the fact that PSIV has 2 items tied to Lutz, the "Psycho Wand," and also has the "Telepathy ball" which contains Lutz's memories and will.
Also, in PS1, Noah can "talk" to enemy monsters/animals/Motavians/ and Dezorians.

But Rune doesn't have anything as a skill or tech that I would say is related to ESP, telepathy, telekinesis etc.

So what is an Esper? Do Lutz's powers have to deal with anything mental, psych, or telepathy?

Ideas?

As for me I didn't really ask myself about the meaning of ESPER ! So it's hard to tell...
