Colour Me Blue - Blue Mage

[Tharian]

OMG, if this is a petty and toxic argument then what does that make the United States Presidential Debates which are about one million times worse than this?

As for why I did not offer the critiques in the first place... simply put, I was more curious about why this thread was even opened in the first place than in commenting on the idea's people were throwing around. You joined the forum less than 5 months ago... I have been playing Final Fantasy MMORPG's since 2004 and been on this and other Final Fantasy MMORPG Forums for about that long. In that time I have seen at least 20 different threads asking for the addition of the Blue Mage to either Final Fantasy XI or Final Fantasy XIV, not all of which were in this specific subforum, but at least one major one was. The one thing they almost all had in common was that the posts in those threads usually boiled down to people saying "Blue Mage is cool, you should so totally add it to this game!" without offering any legitimate reason why the Developers really should follow through on that suggestion.

All I wanted to see is if someone could offer me a legitimate reason. I still haven't seen one outside of the purely emotional reasons.

Lol those too are toxic and petty, doesn't change the fact that this has become petty though. When if you look at my original response to you all I meant was to illustrate a point that the FF history lesson didn't matter...nothing more. It was not my intention to come off as confrontational. But when you then continued to try and prove me wrong on FF history instead of adding to the thread constructively It did become tiresome, since you did not give any reason as to why BLU couldn't be implemented.

It was never my intent to say that Blue Mage COULDN'T be implemented. It was my intent to ask WHY IT SHOULD be implemented.

When adding a class to a game the Developers need to answer more questions than whether or not they can add it. They also need to answer whether adding the class will unbalance the game, and also whether adding it makes sense from a lore perspective. Additionally they need to decide whether the class will actually add something to the game as it currently stands or not. There is a lot that goes into deciding to add a class to the game. I am asking if anyone has actually put any thought into considering even some of these questions.

The same reason this forum exists and same reason we're getting DRK and a gun class, people have a desire for them. No idea why you're coming around and asking the obvious....

That's fair enough but you can't blame me for all those other threads that exist on completely different forums/websites....I'm not psychic you know! As far as I knew this topic is the first one to exist on here for some time now at least and was just interested in hearing peoples ideas on BLU, as well as offering some of my own. Which as you can see I did. So my suggestions were not based purely on emotional reasons or a love of the job, which you would have known had you actually read all the comments here, instead of arguing with me.
