The reasoning behind my approach of using CUL is not only for flavor but to allow the BLU to get the most out of its spells. Having it based off of a class (Gourmand, GRM for short), could potentially lower the options for the BLU's spells to be utilized, possibly limiting the number of actual set blue magic spells to 5 as its job abilities. I was also tooling with the idea of having their first 3 job abilities be a combo set of moves, or having the Synthesis skills become the combo set which can be linked to BLU spells. I was also leaning towards BLU becoming one of the first hybrid classes that can change its role based on the spells it has equipped. I do agree with using the fork as the main weapon, and was thinking of having the pan you get from the job quest allow you to have your sub weapon be your main weapon (I had this same idea for letting DRK be based on MRD and being able to use scythes). Or, the pan could allow the use of the fork as a main weapon and the pan as a shield.
