Well there is history of a class and then there is a history they have established for a class in game.

The debate of the Ast quests will also always be here I feel like, because it is so split down the middle on how people interpreted those quest chains. Wasn't all that was said was Levava saying how they were similar due to drawing power from a star/stars and that their casting complemented eachother? Also that they could learn a lot about their own schools of magic from studying the other. I know that Swallow's Compass was released in 4.3 a year after the Stormblood launch with the Ast class quests and nothing about that dungeon was very astro-y, granted this is also just opinion.

I know at the time there was a big debate of people saying that this was SE shifting Ast to a more Geomancer centered style of play, but Ast have never received or even had anything Geomancer related in their kit.
