That being said, RDM is a whole new thing for FFXIV. Who says they can't combine traditional BLU with something borrowed and something new? Maybe it will combine the powers of BST and BLU. Maybe this BLU will trap monsters to learn their powers.

Reading some of the stuff you guys posted here, Blue Mage does make sense to me. I mean, there are certainly things that speak for Blue Mage. My only concern would be that they already added Red Mage and having two mages/ranged dps in one expansion seems like overkill to me. They could make Blue Mage a tank, healer or even ranged dps of course, but I'm not sure if fans of Blue Mage would want that.

Also, do you guys think they will only add two new jobs or 3? I would love to get 3, but most signs seem to point to 2 new jobs.


And lastly, this is really random, but has anyone seen the screenshots and artwork for Stormblood? I was really surprised to see artwork for what I consider to be the new AF gear.

There is an ingame screenshot of the new monk gear (I'm not a fan to be honest), then artwork for Ninja, Black Mage, what I think is White Mage, Red mage and this one (Bard I think?):




Just because a lot of people were saying that red and blue seem to be the colors this expansion, it reminded me of this...
