It's also the same reason we won't get Geomancer or Time Mage.
While I kinda agree with the first two statement, I completly disagree with Geomancer. Enough people showed great ideas about what Geomancer could be, and would be really different from the AST that we have. It's not because one time in the FF series a class was close to one that we know on ff14 that the ff14 version of this class will be similar. The best exemple would be RDM, which is way different in ff14 than in most ff (in my humble opinion).

And in this thread, a lot of people have great and not so great ideas for BLU, each being vastly different from what ff14 proposes atm. While I don't see the classic BLU being usable here (learn spells from monsters by being hit, etc.), I do think that if it is implemented, they'll learn their spells by doing some "hunts" during their quests. I'm pretty confident that SE will make a pretty great BLU if they do it one day, since the new classes were pretty unique and great each time they added it (especially with Stormblood).

I do love the idea of Jandor though, but is really hard to balance, and as someone said, closer to a mime than a BLU ._.
