Which, I doubt will be coming in with 4.0, especially with what we know so far and how far along they are in development (practically done, and probably working on 4.2 as we speak). It may come in later with 5.0 at the earliest.
The last interview I recall him talking about BLU was half a year or more ago. Is there a more recent one he talks about it by chance? I'd have no qualms with a solo-esque approach to acquiring blue magic spells. I just don't think people should focus on all the recurring spells BLU tends to have, and where they exist in XIV, as they always tend to have a large repertoire of game specific spells anyway.
