Blue Mage has problems? Because from 2006-2014 I seen that Blue Mage works perfectly fine in XI...the only time it was ever "OP" was on old content that never scaled beyond 75, for example Moogle Kupo d'tat where a Blue Mage can one shot the final boss with a self SC due to the enhanced damage it takes. So no it's not contradictory. While some spell effects are 'broken', look at the blue mage spell list.

XI also has a trinity, yet it also has hybrids so it's just Yoshi trying to stick HEAVILY with the 'WoW model'.

Also, Dragoon was a 'breath specialist' for example in the Tactics games.
