I barely played 2.0 yet but I remember Gladiators in 1.0 could do fire sword attacks fairly early and pugilisits have some chakra stuffs and magic seems to be used by pretty much everyone one way or another and to one degree or another.
Of course not everyone is a Louisoix, but I guess you could call it a "high magic" world.
And speaking of Louisoix, a shield that can ALMOST protect you from an angry Bahamut is pretty amazing, not to mention sending a whole bunch of people in the future.
As far as what can be done in RP... I'd look and my character's abilities, look back on my past experiences in other games, make a quick judgment about what I want my character to do in comparison to my their in-game abilities, and go for it if it seems fairly equivalent. Gotta take the FF lore into account though!
Easy example: I want my character to magically start a fire. My character can cast Fira. No problem.
Another example: I want my character to magically fly. My character can cast Fira. In D&D, you can Fly with a 2nd level spell.. Fireball is a 3rd level one... Fire is the second fire spell out of three (Fire, Fira, Firaga)... seems fair. BUT! I don't think I ever seen any Final Fantasy character fly with a spell... hmmkay, I guess I can't.
Last one: My character is covered in dirt, I want them to get clean. They can cast some kinda Wind spell. I figure they can use wind magic to dust themselve off, though it will mess up her hair, lulz.
TL;DR: I don't have any easy answer!
