The part where I said "they said it in less words" isnt some jab at how many words you used, but saying that they already stated it, and because they didnt use as much clarification, I'm going to assume you didn't know they understood you.

Your re-clarification seems to me that I have somehow misunderstood you, but once again, it didnt quite go against what I said either from what I gather, so I can only assume I'm not following you very well.
Just quoting to say Claire understands my argument quite well with respect to the similarity between Ninja and a Spellblade. In lore, ninjas already arguably ARE spellblades, they use magic in conjunction with their martial arts. Huton is a mudra but for all intents and purposes is a spell that increases movement speed. Raiton? Casts lightning. Katon? Fireball. Suiton? Water spell. Et cetera.

"But mudras aren't magic!" There is a quest in the game where this is debated and not solved by the ninja teacher, where the player uses Raiton to lure people to find them. Even if they aren't the quest concludes they're close enough, and in gameplay it also is a 'close enough' type of thing. And even beyond Ninja we have Dark Knight who literally does use magic in conjunction with his sword skills.

What other classes than Spellblade are you thinking could be added to the game? Spellblade doesn't work as a unique class in the confines of XIV.
