I don't buy SE's reasoning for it, because I think that with some thought it could be a wonderful addition to the game. It would be best like the FFXI set up: learn the abilities by hunting enemies, and pre-equip a skill set with allocated points before a duty. BLU could thus perform any of the three roles admirably, but not quite as well as jobs dedicated to those roles. It's real strength would come from buffs/debuffs unique to the class.I think the biggest problem is actually learning skills. Even if it didn't require you to get hit (like in older FFs) and just required you to kill the enemy that knows the skill, it would force you to run dungeons and stuff just to learn abilities. And if you don't have a certain set of skills you will be gimp. As if grinding for gear wasn't tedious enough.
Oh, well. I can dream.
Not to mention, there are very few interesting enemy abilities, and we most likely wouldn't get the most interesting ones.
