Yes, but they are not all equally good. Ramegid may be very powerful, it has one fourth the range of Gigrants. Gizan is useless. Grants is weaker than Zonde while Zonde can hit more than one target (makes so little sense); also weaker than Gigrants and Ragrants, I don't even wanna know who balanced that.
However, if we're going to add the lack of balance between techniques as a design flaw (which it is, but at least there are several techniques of each element that are very good), the melee and ranged photon arts are a lot worse.
Addition Bullet, photon art of a weapon type that can be used by any class, is a stronger penetrating attack than those on specialised weapon types (Penetrate Arrow, Pierce Shell).
Not to mention that is the only good PA for the gunblade, 8/9 are average/bad/utter crap.
Some PAs that would be incredible, because of how they work and hit enemies - Nova Strike, Slide Shaker, Assault Buster, Sacred Skewer, Orchestra, Quake March, Scissors Edge, Deadly Circle - are not usable because of how stupidly overpowered some of the other PAs for those weapon types are.
I'm not going to mention all the numerous PAs made useless in this game because of poor design or outrageous damage output differences, but some are unbearable:
Zero Distance (as the name implies... no range) is weaker than Divine Launcher (maximum launcher range).
Concentrate One (only one target) is weaker than Divine Launcher (MT + wide blast).
etc.
