I play Armi as a traditional Bard - she sings and stuff and just happens to use a bow. You know... I haven't actually thought about whether or not she is FFXIV's version of a bard - with magic songs or whatever. I'm going to say no. She's just a stereotypical Bard like thing who happens to use a bow.
Loki is, at present, an Arcanist. My original plan was to make her a Summoner - my FC has even fought Garuda once ICly (And was shocked to live to tell the tale!) with her in the party but I haven't had her make that conversion yet. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I am with it. It feels really special snowflakey to have had to maneuver so much around the the lore just to get her to be a SMN. I mean, it's still possible, but I just haven't pressed the button yet. I want it to be a natural transition and not "HA HA I'M A SUMMONER NOW"
The Jobs are supposed to be Rare - I treat them as exceedingly rare.
My problem is I don't like playing characters who sit too far out of the box in specialness - which means most of my characters will not have the Jobs ICly. I really believe if you have to force specialness on your character to make them special, then they aren't that interesting in the first place. Armi and Loki are normal everyday girls who weird, abnormal things happen to and people find them interesting with knowing they are the only White Mage or the greatest Monk ever.
Also relics may be "copies" but they are built with the originals as a base, aren't they? He basically just reconstructs the broken relic into what he thinks it should look like.
