Last night I thought about Banon which is a good argument. Kinda wished he served more of a staple for the game. Though I suppose for some people he makes up the 1/4 of the most leveled party lol.
So I guess this still leaves a question: Is healer as a feminine role supposed to signify something? You could argue that White Mages are both essential (as in you HAVE to have one) and also a detriment to the party (aside from healing there isn't much for them to do)- I am speaking from the video game perspective (since w/ d20 White Mage can be pretty boss at holy dmg too).
I think there may be an argument for Rosa and also MAYBE Garnet/Dagger for having a misogynistic flavor to their background and character but Yuna I wouldn't say is an un-empowered woman...?
Maybe this shouldn't be a discussion of this topic. I worry it will be offensive or upset people.
