Yes, absolutely. SCH lost this capacity entering 5.0 ShB when they reworked pets to no longer be entities with HP and Aggro like players/chocobos (SMN and SCH also lost the ability for their pets to tank, though this was limited by the fact that every time Demi Bahamut was summoned in StB (or Faerie dissipated or Seraph would have been summoned in ShB) they temporarily left the field and lost all aggro. Without a provoke to regain it, Titan Egi became crippling to use for SMN.

This was a major defining trait of SCH, allowing you to heal one target while directing your faerie to heal another simultaneously, as embrace itself, though weakened from HW to StB, was much stronger and a more important part of your kit until ShB.

You could even direct your Faerie to heal players outside of your party for e.g. FATEs, the main tank in another alliance in 24 mans, or hilariously, the NPCs in the SCH job quests that you can no longer heal with your faerie. Hopefully that's been fixed, but it was what it was for a long time since they weren't 'a party member', technically.
