Agreed about John DeMita. He's the husband of Julia Fletcher: Elma, Yunalesca, Judge Drace in XII. (Their son voices Kytes in XII, Vaan's young friend.) Also, I forgot to note the amusing OOC/IC tangle of relationships: Candi Milo (generally fantastic) does the voicework for Dona and Lucil, so I wind up with Elma's husband either the subordinate officer/lover of Lucil/alt!Lucil. Which amuses me, since Elma/Lucil was my stubborn f/f ship for this franchise until Fang and Vanille came along with their queerbaiting near-canonicity.
Oh, I think John DiMita also voices all the Hypellos. Who are one-dimensional, but pretty impressive voicework, since I have a good ear and really can't recognize him. (He also does Graav, one of the haughty Luca blitzball players, but that's more obviously his voice.)
Sorry, tangent. Voice acting interests me. Despite some of the really excessive shatnering -- someone should've told Yuna's English VA Hedy Buriss not to worry about lip-synching to the Japanese -- it's one reason I like this game.
I have never seen anyone make that suggestion about Yuna being a specialist white mage before, and it works really well! During Operation Mi'ihen, Seymour joins the party briefly, and we see that he has second-level black magic spells plus a pretty ferocious attack overdrive if one wastes enough time to get it charged up. So the only other summoner we see in battle is as proficient in black magic as he is in white magic. Among the High Summoners, Lady Yocun was a Crusader depicted brandishing a sword, and Lord Ohalland was a blitzball player, suggesting physical prowess.

So the evidence fits your idea nicely.
