But... why not a compromise? Currently, there is nothing in the framework of the game that would allow us to switch roles in combat, which is OK. We ca however, switch to whatever we want out of combat, so in a way BLU would still be able to do that, just not as on the fly and seamless as we are accustomed to. I'd rather have some form of it than no form of it (BLU/DRK, BLU/PLD/NIN, BLU/WHM player in FFXI).

In addition, how about this for an idea. Blue Mage can be the class and the 3 jobs that stem from it would be 1 for each role (IDK... Azure Protector [tank] Azure Reaver [DPS] Azure Cleric [healz] or something).

The class would learn various spells from enemies, while the jobs would enhance the abilities we learn and allow for combos of abilities that would benefit the role, while leaving out others. just a thought.
