I would say this thread is very similar to the thread about how far can you take 'because aether' or discussion of Dragoon abilities. As some folks said before, as far as you like depending on the narrative. Val could be able to do flips and what not all he wants if he used aether to enhance his physical ability (see the lalafell bros throwing people) or... he could not depending on what Val's player wants.
When you RP with other folks you just need to work with them on what they think will work. Maybe someone can use the aether to make themselves less noticeable all the way to invisible... or maybe they are just good at blending in to the environment or sometimes it is just easier to BS the whole thing and merely have the character unnoticed rather than trying to explain it.
The ending Rogue quest scene was a dramatic flair that is used ALL the time when a character needs to disappear. Frankly if you look too into it... you can start asking yourself did any of this actually happen, have I just gone mad?
However, if we apply realism too much to a world with some sort of trait that makes it supernatural (aether in FFXIV) it starts making things tricky. A Roegadyn Rogue or Ninja starts to seem silly, a Lalafell Warrior or Paladin seems unwise, and Dragoons start becoming red pancakes or you just see them jumping up and down (with the amount of armor probably only a foot up)Â trying to poke Dragon's bellies as they swoop down. (Not to mention how can dragons fly much less hover.)
