I am a big story Fan when it comes to FF games so 10 wins this one for me. In XII, the cover shows that "Vaan" is the supposed main character but I never ever felt attach to him at all. And XII was the first FF game that made Summon "useless". I never wasted my time doing any Summoning. But I really like the fighting in XII, but because of everyone capable of using any weapon at all, I never really felts like one character was precious.

I would argue summoning is useless in most FF's. Especially 8: I finished it never summoning one at all. 

A for the Vaan thing... yeah he is not rally the main character. He is techincally an avatar character for the player: you learn about the world of ivalice in time with him. In that sense, I think he works but he yeah its not the most viable story telling choice. 

In 8 I would break my fingers and the controller for the extra boost when summoning lol. But at the end of the game when you get all special moves and all ultimate weapons it kind of becomes uselss, unless you summon Eden. From 4 to 10 summoning was big for me.
