The beauty of FFXIV RP is that you don't have to be the exact class of you wish to RP that class. A wide majority of players do not use the jobs IC so much as they use they use the weapons/items from said classes.
And by that I mean it's perfectly acceptable if you want to RP your basic archer as a Bard, before they even have access to the actual class of Bard.
