I consider the Lancer/Dragoon kit far closer to Zhao Yun/Ma Chao in a DW intro cutscene than anything else seen in an actual FF.
I also don't think the jobs themselves are THAT powerful. You draw upon an otherwise unused source of power likely tied to Aether, allowing you access to more specialized abilities and a larger source of strength. You're still squishy.
Honestly, it's one of those things that I'm less concerned about in play. Other than the White Mage Exception, I can handwave or find a way to fit practically any job on any race.
