Not just FFXI. Same thing with at least FFV, FFX and the FFTA series. He's looking at the fundamental aspect of "Blue Mage gets hit by a learnable skill, Blue Mage defeats mob with learnable skill, Blue Mage learns skill" that has spanned multiple FF games.

He's not the only one with that mentality either. If you want proof of that, check that link in my sig....I know it's a shameless plug, but it shows what opposition there is to Blue Mage learning spells via job quest fights and cutscenes (among other things).
