Sorta. There are a lot of hoops to go through.
You'll find in the game that White Magic is still around! ...Just...highly regulated and only the Padjal (a race of the Black Shroud's Elementals' own making) are allowed to know how to use it. It's a HUGE deal when the main-character gets a WHM Soul Stone.
Likewise, it's also a HUGE deal when the main-character learns about Black Magic, as anyone else in that situation would have likely been gaoled immediately. (You'll see in the game).
Many of the jobs have a lot of history backing them. (Paladin and Dragoon are good examples here) Many are lost or formerly dead/dying arts that are being brought back into use. (Warrior, Scholar, Summoner, Bard).
