It's like swallowing the cliff-notes in pill form before having to go take the test.
In that sense would it be plausible for someone to carry "blank" crystals to be passed on to their lineage? Or, for the sake of my own curiosity, even sold? How hard would it be to obtain a crystal for this purpose?
I think that's very plausible, it's not really clear where original soulstones come from, but they have to start somewhere.
Until Square Enix tells us otherwise, I think we can assume that great warriors in the past held blank crystals.
