As has already been stated, the cast is well developed and they have more of a reason to be in the party than Yuna wanting them to be her guardian two seconds after meeting, or taking the easy way out and just making the entire party a L'Cie.
Also, the characters aren't useless. All of the characters can learn magic from magicite and each character has their own unique skill that makes them worth using. Depending on your build at the end of the game, any character who has a Genji Glove, Offering, Economizer, Dragon Horn, or Gem Box has their skills become useless.
