People like it.

I can see them giving Blue Mage the similar treatment.
What do you have them actually do though? There's VERY few notable monsters in FFXIV itself, and of those even fewer have notable attacks, and of those I can't think of any that don't just apply a status effect. Should the intention to just add a bunch of new mobs that are apparently renowned for something that we've just never paid attention to before? It could work, but honestly the idea doesn't really excite me.
