BLU Aetheric Memory

Could you make this spell cycle through tank, healer, and dps each time you cast it? There's not always a healer or tank around to mimic.

edit: bah. got the name wrong in the title >< sorry.

um just go to any of the main cities? there's plenty of ppl hanging around there.

It would Just be a simple quality of Life improvment, dont see why they would not do It sooner or later

I like this method. I had also wondered if they even just made the guild leaders tagetable, that could make it so you always have someone you know you can mimic. They would even expand this to some of the other job quest givers so Raya-O-Senna and E-Sumi-Yan can both give healer, for example.

well thats kinda the point. You shouldnt need to go hunting for a stance . making it a cycling thing would only improve the spell.
and what about when the BLU is already in a party or dungen, but needs to switch to a diffrent mimicry, then they are kinda stuck.

The party should have their roles figured out before entering the duty.

It would be neat, but a lot of unnecessary work, if they made many NPCs valid targets for Mimicry. Need tank? Go copy one of the PLDs near the Chamber of Rule. Healer? Any of the Hearers (purple robed CNJs) in the Shroud outposts.

They could also make various overworld monsters count as having roles, whether humanoid or otherwise.

I'm sure they will do something silly and make something like a "Role Swap" spell that will replace Mimicry entirely.

Next you'll claim you shouldn't have to see an enemy use a Blue Magic spell before you can learn it...

Sorry for the double post. Also i can't edit since i am posting from Cell.
I am sure of the reply i'll get for my last post so i'll anticipate right now.
A right equivalence between the "learning blu spells" mechanic (the core mechanic of the entire job) and "aethereal mimicry (Just one spell of the job) Is If you would have to go learn the same spell EACH time you want to cast It.
You already have learned the spell mimicry, the fact that you need another player (of a particular role Also) to make use of It Is Just an unconvenient gimmick. You can find It fun or not, but imho Is Just silly how It works right now

I like the way it works right now. Gives me a reason to interact with strangers in a MMORPG (superficial as this interaction may be). I'd be really sad to see it become a cycle spell.

The spell is learnt from the Ghrah monster family, and the Ghrahs have to target and tether to a creature in order to mimic its appearance and attack types. It would make no sense for it to just let us cycle the roles with no target to mimic.
