they would only be comaprable if as, lets say a PLD, you had to use a throwing knives until you built u enough TP to swing your sword, then they would be an equitably thing to consumable arrows.

as they are now, they are an OPTION, where as arrows are mandatory
arrows are an option as well, you can go up and HIT the mob with your fists.
