So no it's not contradictory. While some spell effects are 'broken', look at the blue mage spell list.

XI also has a trinity, yet it also has hybrids so it's just Yoshi trying to stick HEAVILY with the 'WoW model'.

Also, Dragoon was a 'breath specialist' for example in the Tactics games.
It was more of a blatant stab at FFXI at whole.　People from in-game tell me BLU was pretty unwanted which could be painted as a problem if people can't play it.　Given at the history of balance issues FFXI had, it'd be a lie to say there were no problems.
