After doing some digging, I found some interesting tidbits in the Lore book. Apparently the reference lore of the Dragoon in the previous discussion thread is out of context of the greater over arching matter concerning Jobs and adventurers.
Here's the relevant Screenshots to explain that yes, Adventurers's have been perusing and replicating Jobs even outside their specific select orders: (Credit goes to amdapor township , please visit and show appreciation for their diligence in this.)

Looking at the context, I think this should put to bed any lore concerns regarding Adventurer's pursuits and various successes and failures in the "Job" arts - as we now have a dedicated lore entry for what was long suspected true among roleplayers.
While this does not absolve lore conflicts for those attempting to play as members of the select orders they represent, the practitioners of the martial specified discipline that select order has coined isn't just permissible now, it is canon.Â
This is an acknowledged movement among adventurers, to the point where the military of Eorzea has taken notices and are attempting to integrate. This should also affect the lore base surrounding these aspects. We will need to reassess the individual storylines regarding jobs and their context within the wider Lore world with this preface in mind now - but for the more part we should diffuse any tensions with those attempting to play practitioners of Jobs - and hope to work to be involved on how to use these martial arts as building blocks for characters, rather than something one dimensional.
Most noted among these is the fact that Soul Stones are something not for everyone and must also be trained with in order to master, no different than any other martial art. This will still enable those wishing to peruse these forums to retain their humble development role-plays while still having access to they gameplay elements we've long debated over being able to adequately roleplay.Â
Furthermore this highlights that there is much unspoken lore regarding the Adventurer Culture that needs to be dug through and pursued - as well as remaining open to discussion and exploration in roleplay.
 Discussion point: Will the knowledge of this Lore Book Entry affect how you address roleplays you see or have in the future and if so how?
