I could see insisting on a replica if the Warrior Artifact Armor was unique... but it isn't. So I don't see what the problem is with Shoshopu's friend RPing as having a real set.
Warriors were commonplace only 100 years ago. In the grand scheme of things, it's not that long ago. And they actually do still exist today, just in Abalathia's Spine, which is on the other side of the Sea of Clouds above Ishgard. Becoming an IC Warrior as well as having authentic magicked Warrior Artifacts is one the easiest of the jobs to handwave away ICly.
Also, the Bravura is NOT a unique weapon, so another thing to easily have ICly.
Just because it's a job, doesn't mean it's taboo (unless lore states it is: BLM and WHM only technically). It just means it's old and not commonplace anymore.
