Different types of content would have different 'metas', and the ability for people to experiment and engage in discourse about it opens up a whole new metagame for people to engage with. I do not think a talent system would fit FFXIV (at least, in its current iteration of job design), but I hear the 'illusion of choice' argument all the time in WoW discussions and it never holds any water. Having a choice is better than not.
