Going over my copy of the art book and looking up the bodies available to casters in the various databases. It seems that the problem is less with robes than it is with "long bodies." Only 16 (7 healer and 9 caster) of the 60+ post-50 body models available do not have a major extension coming off of them that goes below the waist.

D&D Clerics are also off-tanks/mid to frontliners. As they can wear all armor or most of the heavier stuff depending on the edition. FFXIV's healers are on the mage end of the class spectrum.
