However I dont understand why they didnt try a SOFT on RedXIII's dad
Final Fantasy IV gave the player the option of using a Soft on Palom and Porom when they turn themselves to stone. It was a useless option added only for flavor, but it gave the player the option of trying, at least! I wonder why they didn't do something similar with Red XIII.

Final Fantasy V has a case where the main characters try to save another character from dying by casting spells and using items, even if the characters didn't really know those spells or have those items in stock.
