So on the topic of DRG, perhaps the soulstone is the key to their crazy-ass aetherpowerjumps? Like in an in-game standpoint, you can't do ninjutsus without a NINsoulstone (I'm gonna use NIN/WAR for the sake of them being the only class I maxed out past the soulstone), so maybe it's an actual lore mechanic that applies to it's user. A Warrior can't channel the Inner Beast without the soulstone (in which it describes the way of the Warrior, further implying the mastery of the Beast).
That's just my guess.
But then you have to consider rarity. Sadly, we see the story of this game through the eyes of someone who is one of a kind. Maybe the surrounding people around the WoL have these stones, but what is 3-5 people in the grand scheme of it all? You are dealing with a specialized story. Does that make sense?
I'm not disagreeing, but it might just be another factor why a lot of the jobs are considered super rare in this world and why a lot of people stick to RPing classes over jobs.
And it's my understanding that there classes like MNK where you unlock your gate without the soul stone. You just short of flash some light and then you are rewarded with it. (I haven't formally leveled since ARR's release, I apologize for my shoddy knowledge.)
