Possible Blue mage ideas

So I'm pretty new to this game but I had an idea for possible blue mages and I'm wondering what people think of it. Because of the variety of abilities they had in other games I thought they could maybe have three sole stones (one for each role) and each sole stone would come with it's own set of job quests. The quests would either ask you to kill certain enemies in order to obtain their abilities, for instance the healer soul stone could send you on a quest to obtain white wind, or the quests would send you to train with other job trainers to obtain abilities from other jobs. I'm not sure witch of the two ideas I prefer but I liked the idea of blue mages being able to play any role so I thought I would put it up here and see what other people think.

I think this is a great Idea opening the opportunity to have a job that can fill all three roles using some of the famous blue mage skills like you said. White Wind for healers, 1000 needles for dps and perhaps frog drop or earthquake for tanks?

All in all though I think having 3 different soul stones for blue mage again makes it easy to switch between all three roles and would be probably one of the better ways to implement multiple roles for a class. I'd love to see Square take some of these ideas and add a bit of their spin to it and see what they come up with!

Big Guard for Tanks, presumably.
