To get these spells, you need to use party finder, and once you get in, almost certainly nobody will have Raise (since you needed to complete masked carnivale to get it!)

A few people will die, and these people won't get the spell, and they can't be raised. The party will disband afterwards unless its comprised entirely of saintly people, which from my experience has never happened. The people that died will sit there looking at their corpses while everyone learns the spell, and will have a horrible experience.

There's no reason for the absolutely ridiculous requirement for the BLU raise spell, considering CNJ gets it at lv. 12. Square wants us to form entire parties of BLU to do content, and yet gated a required spell to do this content behind finishing the content in the first place, which is aggressively bad design.
Blue Mages having Raise is not a Required Spell.
Sure, they could future-proof things abit better for new people coming into it later, in the future but otherwise learning spells is not difficult. You dont even NEED party finder. You can do it with Friends or even solo Que. Also some spells can be learned from enemies out on the open world field.
The Masked Carnival was Created to be Challenging Single Player Content, the Raise spell being gated behind that is...unfortunate, but its a Milestone and achievement to show that you have beaten this challenging content.
