I'm actually happy with the BLM model they have. I sometimes wish this game was more serious about its elemental properties, but then I remember how trivial they are in reality and how annoying it is to randomly be shafted by certain encounters because of spell distribution.

Giving BLM 3 attack spells of each element wouldn't have made it a better class or its combat any better. It'd just clog up my HUD. but the balance system FF14 uses is pretty awesome to me.


As for the "other" resources, I do pray that later on SE will introduce some armor/weapon/special abilities that use the second resource as a moderator, similar to the way Bard songs work.
