That's a gameplay trope, and all of this has happened in cutscenes. (I haven't caught up yet, so it's possible he uses these moves in gameplay later, but for the moment I'm assuming not.)
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

In Final Fantasy XIV, an NPC casts Break in a cutscene. This spell was once accessible to players, but was removed — ironically, in the very same update which added this cutscene.
My first thought was that this is Gameplay and Story Segregation, but on reflection that doesn't seem quite correct; the NPC in question could just have access to resources the players don't (he also casts Vanish, which has never been player-accessible). Is there a trope for this situation?
