I was talking from a lore perspective. I assure you, they are NOT the same thing, even mechanically. Saying they are "consistent across the board" is erroneous. All that's the same is "power comes from somewhere else". By the way, I wasn't referring to FFVI when I said "Espers".

Power level wises the casting magic of the Summoner was generally weaker than their Summon.
Oh no, they aren't. Yuna's main combat focus WAS White Mage. Summons were rarely used because no Party member could act while summoned, thus on random encounters, useless. That, and IN 10, while most players don't even bother with it unless they had Grand Summon for it's Overdrive, which I guess makes it burst damage, except that's not the main function of summons. They were just a big player that had tons of HP, and didn't learn any ability.
