Blue Mage Confirmed?

I'm highly amused at the abuse the term "Lore" is suffering in this thread. Folks, "lore" has nothing to do with game mechanics. It has to do with the storyline and backstory of the game. "Jobs learn their skills from class quests" is not lore. "Blue magic was proven to be a myth by Sharlyan scholars" is lore. And in both cases, there's still flexibility. SE COULD create a unique learning system for Blue Mage (though I'm seriously doubting they'd make the effort), countering the first example. The Sharlyan scholars could have been wrong, countering the second example.

Honestly, HOW Blue Mage learns their spells doesn't matter to me much. Blue mages have had almost as many different methods for learning their spells as there are games in the Final Fantasy series - whether they have to be hit by the ability, just see it, capture the ability with Lancet, or freaking eat the mob to learn the ability, there's PLENTY of room for this game to do it however it wants.

It also doesn't matter to me whether they have a thousand Blue Magic spells, or just a handful. As long as I have a job that uses monster abilities as a decent part of their arsenal, that'll be enough for me. Though, as a personal request, I'd love to see "Flying Sardine" as BLU's ranged attack, just because it'd be hilarious. Especially if BLU is a tank, and this is their ranged enmity pulling tool. XD

Mob: "Did you just throw a fish at me? He just threw a fish at me! Oh, man, it is ON!"

blu does have alot possible i admit i love see it a duel scimatar tank that be awesome i also think be cool learn or steal skill for mobs they plenty mob in ffxiv that already use some skills the blu mage can learn mind you

I never really liked blue mage or found it interesting. But the idea of my lalafell throwing a fish in bahamuts face is amazing. I want this!!!

careful of the miq'ue they may follow the fish.

another worthless class that they will nerf the hell outva,after they made it to powerful.maybe spend more time on old content.

Well, it appears they also hinted at necromancer too.

Next 2 classes they add better be a tank and a healer and not anymore dps. Pretty sure Dancer might be one of new classes.

This isn’t the place to talk about that you are basically alerting SE we discovered something we shouldn’t.

If you think SE was unaware about this your naive
