Never forget, it's not Samurai and Red Mage that were hinted at in the event, it was Samurai, Red Mage AND Blue Mage!


My hope for Blue Magic would be a mix between FFXI's point system and FFXIV's cross class system. For each BLU class quest, you go out and learn 5 or so Blue Magic spells to add to your pool, as well as unlocking the ability to equip more of them as you level.

Personally, I don't care if Blue Mage is a Tank, a DPS or a Healer. Due to the nature of the job, it could excel in any of those roles (though it would be harder to conform it to Healer than the other two).
