It's not bad, but it would be boring in the beginning. I've found the use of magic to be the reason battle is so exciting, just by the sheer variety of spells. Also, the limited slots for each spell level adds some nice strategy even if only a little. To be fair, though, you could easily beat the game if you just level enough.
I agree, a team of Fi/Fi/Wm/Bm isn't that boring. It's actually a very good and a well balanced party. A problem with the teams that have 2-4 of the same party member is often that they're quite unbalanced, but I don't think Fi/Fi/Wm/Bm has that problem. Another pretty interesting team is Rm/Rm/Wm/Bm, or at least that's what I've heard. I've never actually tried out that party myself, but you'll get a lot of magic that way, and since Red Mages can cast both white and black magic, I don't think you'll make them identical clones of each other, giving them some variety.
