Most of the abilities lay outside the direct path. Holy is VERY difficult for Yuna to get, and let's not even TALK about full-life. Kimahri has ultima in his starting sphere grid. After that he doesn't have a set path. Wakka looses direction after learning all his debuffs (and that happens relatively early on). They really set things up so that you could vary characters around. Sure, everyone starts on a path, but you can diverge from that as soon as you want. There's aren't really SET jobs.
