I believe Thief WILL be added into the game later on as a job and that a Rogue and thief are too very different things. So someone roleplaying as a thief is perfectly entitled to do so. Regardless thief is not just a class, anyone who wants to steal stuff could be a thief. So just calling yourself a thief is not really something foreign to the FFXIV world as it is in all worlds.
But I think there is something different from saying one is a thief and then saying that some one is a Thief (if it had been termed that way). Just as saying, aether crystals or what not allow someone to cast generic mob spells is different from someone being a Blue Mage.
However, I think ArmachiA does have good points about the fact that you are generally building some lore about how your character is able to use the scimitar and its crystals. Although, I'm not sure what is meant about Scimitars not being a thing because... I thought they were? Brass Blades use them and the Aeolian Scimitar exists in the Relic Reborn quest?
