Mime as a Job

Spoilers for BLU Questline

With the way that one character uses Mimicry, where they only have to see the spell to be able to use it, I think that could make for either a job that uses skills like say Jump or Fire, or a limited job (ick) where you are able to take skills from all the jobs you have leveled.

What is that? You present a unique idea that'd be utterly ludicrous in any sort of straight up implementation in the game and then say 'oh, but don't you dare try to make it in a way that is non-standard enough that I can't use it in my daily routine' so it's like, what do you expect? This fits the mould of a limited job exactly perfectly and I'd adore a Mime that's true to the FF5 one, that transcends job boundaries and lets you use any skills from any jobs you have while inheriting a bunch of screwed up passives.

If it's a limited job, here is how I see it learning skills: PvP.

-Edit-
Another thing that would be cool for the mime job IMO :
Instead of using the same abilities as our current jobs, it would be cool for it to be a way to bring back old animations that got removed from the game.

If something like Mime is implemented, it has to be a Limited Job.

Sometimes I feel people forget how tight XIV's job design and (regular) combat mechanics/balancing is, and that's exactly why they came up with the Limited Job concept.

Granted, I'm not saying it had the best implementation, as Blue Mage still have some glaring issues in the realm it was designed to cover, but thinking this way... If, for regular content, Blue Mages had half of their kits either unavailable or drastically "normalized", then what's even the point?

I think a Mime in the style of FFV could be pretty neat, but that'd just be Red Mage on crack.
