Fire/ice/lightning is done to death and boring. BLM made it about as fresh and interesting as the holy trinity can be. Hell, SAM made a three-element cycle about as interesting/unique as a rune-blade could possibly be.

We don't need a rune-blade. We already have:

* Fire/lightning blade - GNB
* Ice blade - SAM
* Holy blade - PLD
* Darkness blade - DRK
* All elements - RDM *and* NIN

And each of these are way more flavorful alone than they ever would be shoved into one-third of a runeblade's rotation. Not to mention the fact that we have multiple elemental effects for all of these weapons through glamours. It's just...a totally empty and meaningless concept to define a runeblade by elemental affinities in FF XIV.
