@ERoBB: I think they wanted to make you actively look to others' pawns. If you can make your perfect party you'd never have a reason to use others' pawns because they are quite inferior (they don't level with you and you cannot customize their loadouts).

@JustKamToo: My pawn is a female mage named Quistis. Since you pretty much need a mage for healing/buff in your party at all times and other pawns do not level up with you during combat I feel a mage pawn is the way to go.
