I'm not 100% on BLM lore here) but in FFXIV you wouldn't be a SCHOLAR. I'm talking about the jobs themselves, not just "some guy who wields a sword" (Which ironically is the name of things in Japanese. "Gladiator" is actually just "Sword User" in Japanese so I believe that was their intent to be vague). She wants to be a BLUE MAGE not some vague mage in the corner, meaning you need specific context for BLUE MAGE.
There's a difference between saying your a Sword User and saying your a Paladin. We're talking about very specific, Final Fantasy jobs within the FFXIV lore. Which have their own abilities, their own training regimens, and their own lore that deserve to be respected.
Well yes, in that context then there would be a definite limitation. However, those jobs themselves are only limited to the crystals given if I'm not mistaken. None of my characters are the main character/group, so they'd never be able to receive one of those.
But I believe Yangh is simply trying to ascertain whether or not the idea of RPing Blue Mage-like skills is feasible and accepted. Same goes for those that RP Dark Knight and Ninjas and other things. The job is just a name/class title that is given to game restrictions.
