Now every iteration of blue mage has had rng incorporated into its learning process either through rng encounters or rng learning chance, with ffxiv being an mmo it had to adopt the latter did ffxiv take some abilities too far with rng chance absolutely yes.
Nova is the only spell I am aware of in the mainline, single-player titles that was permanently missable....

But even if I'm wrong in that regard, farming out all the generic blue magic in other titles takes less time than it takes to get MAYBE one primal ability in FFXIV. This doesn't make for enjoyable content, at least not for me.
