Summoning has never clicked with me. Taking a spell like Ark from FFIX, the summon takes 100 seconds or so, and only deals the same amount of damage as a regular attack.

I agree that Green Magic is nonsense from FFXII. The role did change into the synergyst in FFXIII though, so the idea of having a specific character class for buffs seems to be continuing into the following series.
