Id like to address something about this.

Players like to know they havent reached the end. So if they know Ultimate is still the final stop, but probably never even attempt it, they will always feel like they havent actually "finished" raiding. In a similar way, Bozja/Eureka are great for the *really* casual players who also wont ever do them. They know its casual enough they COULD do it, but of course dont, but still convince themselves "one day, ill get around to doing that, its not over, i have more to look forward to!".

This is rather important to the game as a whole, and easily not even noticed by most players. Keeping that distant goal on a stick, is helpful to more ppl than those who actually do/clear it.
(This is also why BLU suffers long term commitment. It doesnt have the same goal for raiders. It DOES have that long term goal for casual players. Which is probably why half the players love BLU, and half hate it.)

Absolutely disgusted at the idea of a waste of potential & time allocated to yet another limited job.

No disrespect to the OP, or their hope for a Beastmaster, indeed, i hope you get said job eventually. But please, no more limited jobs.

It's sad that we have so few opportunities to use Blue Mage in relevant content. Sad that for the most part that BLU felt incomplete up until max level & in need of all of it's spells to feel viable. Worst of all, the inability to use it in current content along side other player/ friends due to overly specific gimmicky inclusion, regulated the job to feel lesser in every regard compared to other jobs in game.

I wouldn't mind more limited jobs but I think we need more stuff to do with them like some group content, but maybe this would be problematic. Limited job group content that is literally hard to beat. Personal limit breaks and dungeons with puzzles that test you. Just something different to what is missing in-game currently. Beastmaster could be awesome as a limited job.

Imagine a Beastmaster with two large wolves in his/her control. Level them up and teach them new actions/skills.
