Simple Solution to BLU

[Duelle]

You know thematically BLU's are meant to wear many hats b/c of their vast array of creature abilities (traditionally), right?

And the only thing that matters is that the job learns skill from monsters. That's all it needs to be a blue mage. Everything else, and I do mean everything else (scimitars, middle eastern aesthetic, pointy shoes, role flexibility, skill sets, gear choices) is essentially fluff.
