You can't have the story suddenly change just because someone was the right class at the right place and time and say "sucks to be you!" if everyone else was something else. Game mechanics and storytelling are usually on opposite sides of the fence in most Final Fantasy games and it's just something you'll have to suspend your disbelief for, otherwise we might as well keep going back to FF7 and keep asking Square why we can't just use a Phoenix Down on Areith or why using Ultima on a certain boss as a finishing move makes them flee rather than killing them.

You bring up this game's resurrections spells, but as far as I remember, the info box says it revives knocked out players, not dead ones. Heck, KO makes more sense for the player when PvP is involved since according to lore, the fight between adventurers is a friendly contest rather than a fight to the death.
