It wasn't needed to have ANY summoners in IX, since all the summons were pathetically weak. And Garnet becomes practically useless once Eiko joins. Eiko learns better spells before Garnet, she knows the only two summons even remotely useful (Carbuncle and Phoenix) and she doesn't have that "can't concentrate" thing screwing her up in battle.
It never really bothered me though, and IMO it was nice to have a FF where the summons weren't uber and could pwn anything (like VII and X).
Agreed... the summons were kinda useless. I tried to pretend Ramuh, Ifrit, and the others were somewhat useful in this game... but Dagger gets to use them way too late in the game, when they're kinda useless. Eiko has better white magic, and Phoenix saved my ass in the battle with Necron.This! ^ Once I got Eiko I damn near never used Dagger again. I don't see the point of summons honestly. My summons I tried with Dagger never did any damage better than what I could do with a common hit. Eiko had great summons for healing which was a great idea. Once I got Eiko's Holy & Full Life, she never left the party.
