Just because they both use staggers doesn't meen they are the same system...
Abyssea you have red for KIs, yellow for AF mats and blue for weapon/armor drops. Each is attained by specific WS or spells that are randomly selected from a list when the mob is aggroed.
Dynamis you have the same 3 colours but instead of affecting different things they improve the drop rate of currency in riseing ammout based off the colour. They are gotten by first killing the TEs, 3 for blue, 4 for yellow, 5 for red. Then the type of stagger is decided by the job of the mob you have targed and can be triggered by any of the apropriate action WS/JA/Magic.
It is not a continuity issue because they are 2 different systems... There is also the WoE staggers but there is hardly any info on them I have been able to find out on.
