A Problem of Archetypes (Class Discussion)

What they're saying is that we shouldn't shoehorn traditional FF jobs into the game, which is what it feels like they're doing. They've already got plenty of lore and classes that are similar, just with different names. I'm indifferent about the job system being implemented, but it's undeniable that they are, in fact, forcing it into the game just because FF fans are crying that it's not a traditional FF.

Either way it needed to be done. The only difference is whether they shoehorn some made-up specs (Buccaneer Marauder, Dark Thaumaturge, etc.) into the game or the traditional jobs.

It is definitely not "just because FF fans wanted it". The whole game structure demanded for it in some shape.
