How Blue Mage Could Exist in FFXIV

[Kazrah]

While I agree with the title of the thread, this is also a prime example of exactly why BLU would not live up to everything the people who are really excited about the idea generally want it to be.

That's what the cutscenes are for and having the Blue Mage learn spells in that fashion. Yes, it's not exactly like it was in past games in the series, but that's not necessarily a bad thing jobs do require a minor degree of adaptation in order to fit within the confines of a new(er) game, lest it fall prey to similar conditions that impeded the production of FFXV according to its director.

Okay, that makes more sense, but I'd still argue that even basic whip animations would still be a can of worms for this game, especially when there are enough options for a static weapon.
