Not to mention that they said we will be surprised at how many actions they can learn. So rather than less, they are likely to have MORE skills than any other class. Also it's pointless to focus on the "actions they can learn" part if they are acquired as quest rewards, not actually learned.
Remember Kiki, in 4.5 you will be leveling to a max 50 and acquire skills like every other job in the current system of FF14. Like DRK, AST, MCH had a number of skills preset when you start at 30 and RDM/SAM at 50...it is incredibly safe to assume the same will happen to BLU. They are only now going a different way...instead of handing them out, they are making to which you acquire them via normal leveling. Why? It is simple...SE is in this for $ and they know BLU is a incredibly popular job in the FF universe. They are more than likely doing it this way to keep people subbed, which to me is completely reasonable.

Sorry, but this will not be the BLU you may expect if you played FF11 or any in the past that had BLU. Like RDM, we will see a variation of BLU in respects to FF14.
