No actual chance of discovering skills yourself.

It honeslty sounds like the only people asking for it are Ex- WoW players just discovering that there's more games than just Final Fantasy XIV and they're echoing what they've seen on the Final Fantasy wiki or something. Please don't let this game butcher such an awesome job.
Or the devs could, you know, adapt the existing cross-class skills system to facilitate the learning and slotting of various monster abilities similarly to FFXI. What exactly is stopping them building a new system for learning monster abilities OUTSIDE of their usual job skills? There's already precedent for this in how SMNs learn to summon Garuda and Ifrit.

It honestly sounds like you have a disturbing lack of imagination.
