Any thoughts on FFXIV & BLU?

Doesn't it break the armory system more then it does now? Since skills are independently equipped. Half the reason of blu's design was that you get a random bag of skills to consider.

It doesn't break the armory system -- It shows what a limitation the system truly is. FFXI's blue mage for example was only limited in the amount of spells you can have on at once as well as it's own capping feature (with the exception of Delta Thrust, most spells weren't as powerful as the enemy variation) which the armory system was made to go against such limitations.

i dont get your meaning, the implementation of blu in FFXI required they create a whole new subsystem within the standard FFXI system, because ffxi system was pretty limited.
If they need to create a new one for a new class, they will do it.

FFXI blu was also limited by level, and equippable spells, how does that not work with the armory system? hell it sounds like the armory system.

hit a certain level, have blue spells become obtainable, get spells, place them on your action bar limited by number of actions.
in case you r thinking there are too many blue spells... uhhh theres no limit to the amount of skills a class can have, mages often learn 2-4 skills every couple of levels.

there is nothing about the armory system that limits or makes blue not work.
