Concerning the lack of reality stemming from the armory system, you can't go to your closet, talk to a flying cupie doll and magically become a sniper, either. A healthy balance point between these two systems would be allowing you to call on moogles while on the go rather than needing to run back to town. There, you have your job system, and you have the general flexibility/convenience of the armory system.
