Here's another.

Blob, from Phantom Brave. It gets 1 turn, then it dissolves. It contains powerful attacks, but it requires alot of leveling before this comes along. I can't think of a dumber character.

Of course there's always the titles you can assign to characters in Phantom Brave, such as "Subtle" "Weak" and the most important one: "Failure." giving you -100 to all attributes.

The most useless RPG character.
Malak, from Final Fantasy Tactics. He's not just outcassed (wel evry is when you get T.G. Cid!) but he's more of a liability than an asset (his attacks hit teammates more often then they do the enemy!)

Cyan - Pretty cool character on paper (a samauri?), but in my game, he tends to sit in the airship since I feel he doesn't do good damage and I don't like waiting too long for his Sword Techs

Nina (adult) - She's good to have when you are a kid, but when you meet up with her again as an adult, her attack magic doesn't seem to useful anymore.
Cyan, despite a slow start, actually has the best damage potential out of everyone. Plus the sword techs are very useful if used at the right place. Trust me on this, I have played thru FF6 8 times over to test various theories and methods.

In the BoF series as a whole magic is not supposed to be strong I think. But they are supposed to be consistent in damage.

Plus, magic never misses (unless the enemy resists it), so it helps with enemies that dodge melee attacks and Momo's lousy accuracy.
