Well, when you think about it...
The original story of the Cygnus Knights made zero sense. They were supposedly the elite, the specially chosen and trained knights who would lead the fight against the Black Mage, etc. They got more AP, they got 4th jobs skills in 3rd, they were almost as powerful at 120 as a level 150 adventurer - but that's where it stopped. They never moved beyond that and were clearly inferior to adventurers in higher levels, so the whole notion of them leading the defense of Maple World was absurd.
Now that they're being remade as powerful classes with a level cap as high as anyone else's, they begin to look like they could fulfill that original purpose. It makes story sense that they easily outshine Adventurers.
(Unfortunately it does not make game-balance sense. All the classes need to be "worth playing", so adventurers can't be left too far in the dust for too long).
