Most useless thing(s) in FFXII
Personally,I find that Espers are quite useless in the game.
Not only it requires you to expend enormous amount of MP but it renders your summoner vulnerable from attacks. Probably the reason I dont summon that much is because they become totally obsolete later in the game...
Instead of summoning Exodus for instance,who deals 3k-4k dmg from comet , Its more practical to reserve Mp for spells and Cures (assuming your party deals 3k-4k dmg).
Another thing is that they never grow unlike in FFX...
How about you guys?

Yeah, definitely espers.
But I also found a lot of the magic useless. Can't remember which ones since it's been a while I loaded up that game.
Belias can be useful in early games, and in challenges and special situations Zodiark is very good due to his 50,000 damage attack. But other than that, yes, Espers are useless.
I liked the Espers.. I just wish they didn't have a time limit and stuff.. >->
Ability-wise.. I thought the First Aid ability was pathetic.. Especially seeing as you had Cure already.. .___.
That and the Balance spell.. Balance Motes I was okay with.. but if you're at a stage, where your current and max HP are poles apart.. I wouldn't be too bothered waiting for a spell to be cast than saving my backside from losing the fight.. Dx

Techniks. (seriously? Traveller? I don't think.)
Lack of Limit breaks.

Vaan.
I kid. I would have to say the retarded way you get the best weapon in the game. Seriously? I have to not open some random treasure chest in a corner?
...or Vaan.

Actually, since this was the first FF game I ever played (FFXII, then FFX, then Dissidia), I thought summons were for special use only. So, for a long time, I rarely used summons in combat. Sad, I know.Personally,I find that Espers are quite useless in the game.

Yeah, that's true. Also, the fact that there was no learnable earth magic or (decent) water magic.
The fact that you had to use your own magic to do Quickenings/call Espers. That was corrected in the international version, so...
YES! Also, Penelo. In fact, the only thing those two were good for IMO was extra party members.
Tidus: (off-screen) Don't do it! He's just gonna try to trick you into sucking his--
Jecht: God DAMMIT BOY! (off-screen) YOU JUST HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING, DON'T YOU?! I USED TO BE A WHALE!
Tidus: I though you didn't want to be a whale!
Jecht: OF COURSE I WANTED TO BE A WHALE! I'M GONNA BEAT YOU 'TIL YOU CAN'T WALK!

Spoiler:
Everyone can do everything, I think it's kind of useless, except for the point that once your people die, you can switch to another party, but still, it's pretty crap. I would've atleast had people not be everything, have some of them better than others with weapons and shiz. (Balthier better with guns, Penelo better with poles or some crap)
Vaan is the most useless main character to date.
