Why do people want Blue Mage in this game?

FFXI blu was limited in the skills the BLU could "SET", and comboing skills blu gained passive traits that others job got at random lvls (defense bonus, beast killer , ect) , it was a customizable job and fun as hell the only thing i hated was farming spells ...that refueling ugghhh , and that carrot :mad::mad::mad::mad:

in FFXIV they could do the same , let the blu slot 24 skills and combining X and Y they gain a trait...

Me neither but it got a few drive by posters in this thread to keep it bumped and some redditor got more upvotes than he can handle so I think everyone won in the end.
Happy this thread was revived too because this is something that need to be discussed cause Blue Mage is inevitably going to happen.

I'll be fine with it if we can discover skills for ourselves as well as getting some mandatory ones from job quests. Having enemy materia equppied in VII was fun when you found out that a giant snake patrolling a marshland could give you an early game breaking spell.
