Right, higher HP, and DK Cecil had terrible HP compared to every other frontliners. Also, what made PLD Cecil a tank was not only its superior Defense, HP and Vitality but also its ability to take hits in place of others. To the point that you could even put him in the back row and Cover a frontliner, pretty much making the next physical hit a scratch.
And if some characters were at critical HP, he even does it automatically for all of them.
