Idea: Open World Zone Made For BLU

Basically, an open world zone that is exclusive to Blue Mages, perhaps taking place in the New World, featuring exclusive monsters not seen anywhere else. Basically an open world counterpart to The Masked Carnival.

could be cool, but personally i'd prefer someplace that they can interact with other players/classes (such as eureka, etc) so the devs have actual incentive to make such a zone, since they'd never put that amount of effort in for the same half-class they've kneecapped since it's inception

Considering how hard Bozja is sinking I'm not sure what the shelf life on BLU World would be...

basically yeah; world-type content is already pretty niche, and limiting that to an already niche content/playerbase would basically kill it from the get-go without some HEAVY incentives--and in the right places, since as we've seen with bozja, them having no xp rewards from castrum and allowing coins to be obtained outside of it after the initial clear has completely killed castrum lacus litore, since people who want to get in (for their story-clear, etc) simply cant get enough people, and veterans refuse to help because it's simply 'not worth their time' (due to all the rewards within being obtainable elsewhere more easily, as well as extra rewards on top such as xp/clusters/action crystals/lockboxes etc)

There'd need to be a means to keep injecting new players, or to keep existing players there/interested, which wouldn't really work as BLU-only (much as i love the class and would love more stuff for it that isn't just "here's some tomestones and centurio seals this week")

So, Eureka.

If SQEX added more limited jobs and made a big area for them instead of just BLU do you think that might be enough? Or is it doomed content if only restricted to limited jobs?

I’m guessing that is what’s going to be going on with the next patch when BLU gets the level increase, Eureka!

Eureka and eventually Bozja will become dead content, just like Diadem.

So they should repurpose them like Diadem.
Eureka would make perfect sense for Limited Jobs, BLU and maybe Beastmaster once it's out.
There's no use making new content for them when the assets for these are already in the game.

So BLU would have all the monster actions AND logos actions?
Wow.

The zone not the logos system.
Just like Diadem was stripped of all of it's functional systems and turned into a purely gathering content. Eureka could be repurposed for limited jobs, with a new system that suits them.
This is when the content is well and truly dead.
In 6.0, Eureka will be 4 years old and virtually empty. In 7.0 Bozja will be the same, but even less relevant as the relics will be obtainable via HW FATEs...

It wouldnt be that strong, a LOT of blus moves are just standard rotational abilities like any other class, and enemies in zones with logos actions already have resistances to doom and such because of logos doom as well as resisting most status ailments a blu could use. Because every class can be tanky/dps/heal in euerka/bozja blus traits wouldnt stand out as much, ontop of some moves just being blu skills but better (lost manawall).

Sorry, my "wow" was rather vague huh.
It wasn't a negative comment or a suggestion it'd be OP.

I was feeling all
"Daaamn, having both BLU actions and Eureka actions together would be one heck of a playground."

I was wanting it to be a new zone so it could be the New World, where we could explore more lore of the Blue Mage.

That would be pretty cool, but probably not realistic.
Limited Jobs already seem to take more investment than normal jobs, despite not being played quite as much, so I find it unlikely.

Maybe once both BLU and hypothetical Beastmaster have both caught up to the current level cap, it might be something they might look at.

I just wish they'd add any type of casual endgame repeatable BLU content. I am not sure a Bozja-like feature would work well though, unless you make it a solo instance... (I wish we get to explore the New World at some point though, but I'd rather have it in the MSQ)
I don't know, give me a relic weapon to work on or something.
Once you are done with your checklists, there is nothing left to do, and this is what is hurting the job the most.
