This'll be good

1. Which they do in this game.
2. Debatable from game to game.
3. Yes, I wonder why that is.
4. Gosh no. Going on Summoner characters Rydia will be using Black Magic more often than not, because it's more MP efficient. With Eiko and Garnet they'll be healing more than summoning.

So, yeah, you don't know what you are talking about.
Let me get in on this too!

1. Agreed
2. General rule of thumb is; good early game, shitty late/end game
3. As per 2 (usually)
4. Usually because you only bring them for their nuke attack and nothing else.
