Based on his comment, it seems that he played FFXI. I'm pretty sure you can have enjoyed FFXI without enjoying the skillup system. I know I did. I even enjoyed making sure all of my skills were capped, and worked on it daily in FFXI. That's the problem - it feels like an obligation and it's such a horribly slow and painstaking process that simply overlaps with the leveling system that already exists.

Even if you think it worked in FFXI, that doesn't justify adding it here. If anything, FFXI skillups don't fit the traditional FF way of leveling as well as FFXIV without skillups does. Just saiyan.
