Are the transforming summons really that significant?
No, they're not, but it looks dumb.
Any explanation probably would have been dumb,
Then they shouldn't have had it!
However, I'm not sure how they're any more useful than they were in XII, I think they're grossly underpowered and serve, at best, as a delaying action as you can't die when you have one out.
Sure they're more useful; they actually heal you (and fast too), they don't die instantaneously, their attacks are pretty powerful and serve to bring up the Chain Gauge, and their transformed mode are a pretty decent way to deal damage with no retailiation whatsoever. Also, when they leave, all of your party members are healed to max.
In FFXII, Espers were more like
*SUMMON SEQUENCE*
*whoops I got hit once I died*
