SpoilerIn the White Mage questline, you learn that you're the first non-Padjal White Mage in hundreds of years, perhaps longer, because non-Padjal have been deemed "too risky" to be given the knowledge of the Art of Succor.


With that in mind, you'd have to have convinced one of them that you were worthy (which would seem to be no small task), and then hidden the fact that you were a completely selfish, self-serving person during the training itself.  And then if you were to succeed in all of that, you'd still have to consider that the Padjal would be unlikely to be okay with you running around abusing your power.  It's highly likely they'd send someone (or multiple someones) to prevent you from further abusing it.

So while I'm not saying that it's impossible by any means, I think that for it to be believable, you'd have to take the consequences of such a situation into account, as well.

Honestly, I think this is just far too restrictive to be taken at face value. All of us can become White Mages OOC if we wanted. Simply by nature of it being an available class/job, there absolutely needs to be a way for one's character to be ICly said job without skirting the line of the "Chosen One" story. The Padjal can't possibly personally train all of the potential White Mages out there; it's absolutely unrealistic. So acknowledging that, there needs to be some give in how one becomes a White Mage.
