There are always people out there that want to RP their favorite job that isn't in the game like Blue Mage, Red Mage, and Samurai. I personally don't feel this can work because we have no lore on these jobs, and as far as the lore is concerned, they don't exist in Eorzea yet.
For me? Entertainment covers up a lot of sins. If someone's a great RPer and can portray themselves well, then I'll typically accept what they're saying. Over the years in FF, I've happily RPed with:
- A woman who can see the future in her dreams
- A woman who can read people's auras
- Several voidtouched people who can feed on aether
- Several 'what the hell are they?' types who play very powerful and paranormal characters
- An artificial primal made by Garleans
- Several mad artifacers who create devices completely divorced from anything in gameplay/lore
I do this because they play them well.
Think about it. If we would restrict everyone to playing just what the game allows, we wouldn't have had Scales in the Sand, we wouldn't have had any of the Askier/Jin'li arcs, we wouldn't have had the Nero Lazarov arc, and any number of other high-profile arcs that have run over the years.
