Feels like a combination of Final Fantasy's job system with Persona's Social Links1

I don't know if they were truly going for "Persona but in a fantasy setting" but if they were then Archetypes miss the mark. They definitely feel more like Final Fantasy's jobs than Persona's. Not necessarily saying that's a bad thing its just not what I expected.

That is what they were going for. This is a new IP with a different direction. They didn't want to make this the same as Persona (and we should hopefully get P6 in the not distant future.)

If they didn't want to make it like persona then why did they use almost the exact same combat system and social links?

This isn't Persona's combat system, it is the press turn system from SMT. It is actually quite different.
