I found more use for Wakka (long range attacks with decent strength) and
Rikku (speed and great against mecha) than I did for Yuna. This could be
my tendency to overbuild characters to the point that I rarely need to heal
in a given battle. (I tend to beat up random baddies close to a save
sphere, so I can refill all HP and MP after each fight, and then just clock
them for a while. It gets to the point where I don't need to heal during
boss battles, so I don't have much use for the white mage characters.) I
found Khimari useless from the get go, as most other characters had gone
through so much of the sphere grid when I got to him that they were already
at his position, with a lot more to back them up. (Rikku's ability to
dismantle mecha, and her major overbuilding while I was playing with the
sphere grid while swimming early on kept her in the game.)
Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is that there is no one team that will be
optimal for everyone. For example, if you like to level up and take a
strong offensive strategy, Yuna won't be very useful to you, but if you try
to move through the game as quickly as one possibly can, never hanging
around to build up your characters anywhere, then Yuna will be essential.
