I wish more classes were like blue mage.

Traveling around acquiring skills is by far funner then hitting some arbitrary level and being given something as if a token gesture. The amount of people I've met just going after one dungeon skill and it snowballing into doing more or just helping the other get spells you already have is far more than I've met just doing random roulettes with people who maybe say one thing in the start and never again.
The skills don't magically disappear when you get downleveled and this alone makes blue parties feel different and great. I have seen people well above me in skill level, and asked them what they were doing, just being able to see how well it works has made me reconsider some of my spell choices and encouraged me to run different dungeons to find these skills. Skills have different flavors that essentially do the same thing in the open world with different quirks. The elemental weaknesses are back in limited form.
I wish many of these blue features could be used for other classes.

One of the biggest arguments against the elemental wheel was black mage's extremely limited skill set that would potentially lock them out of content but that wou;dn't be a problem with a spellbook like this.

Summoners could have every pet they desired, or just one or two they feel like they could need, they could choose to focus on dots, or just ruin spam.

Samurai could actually feel like a ronin traveling the lands looking for opponents to defeat to gain skills.

Blue mage is the only class thus far that feels like a final fantasy class to me since ARR launched and left 1.0 behind and it saddens me greatly that the current paradigm is unlikely to change.

True.
The blue mage is funny and give you something to do.
Travel the world to find the skill you need.
Figure out combos on your own while leveling.
And communicate with other when you see a unknown skill.

I like it and even if I'm not level 60, I'm already looking forward to the next update.

I like dat as well - actually I like how se shifting things lately coming up with new stuff (even if some are prototyping like diadem). But Eureka, Blu & Ishgard are content which catches me... even more than the next savage or ultimate tier. Really curious what's the "next big" thing on their side-content map is... The Black Flag Fisher update seems interesting as well imo.

I would like to see a beast master or chemist cls - as well as a true mime but that most probably won't happen at all. There were interesting comm-concepts for BM one of them was a new gatherer/crafter who interacts with animals/material. Another one was a Pokemon-like Monster hunter with an arena like the carnival/lord of vermillion where u can fight other player. Chemist could be a physical Healer like in Tactics with the potential of a real job.

anyway I like how they move forwards the last patches - hope they will keep it up that way. ^^

Eureka is the only content is still do with joy in regular bases, especially BA.

I really hope the bring in more thinks like this and also design them to last longer then 1 expansion.
