JUST FOR DISCUSSION: How would YOU make BLU a normal job with rotation

[Nalien]

The simple fact that you had to collect the spells in XI makes it side content.

Have you played XI? You had to go out and collect spells for basically every Job with spells... You had to go out and get Ninjutsu Scrolls for Ninja to learn Ninjutsu. You had to go get Scrolls for White and Black Magic. Bard had to go get music Scrolls, heck to a lesser degree something like Ranger or Corsair had to buy Ammo... A lot of the powerful "required" ones were even rare/expensive drops... So I guess Ninja, Red Mage, White Mage, Black Mage, Scholar, Bard, Summoner (basically had to do Trials vs the summon it wanted to learn) Paladin and Dark Knight (both used White and Black Magic respectively), on top of Blue Mage, were "side content"?
