Blue mage ' beast master ' dancer

[Seraphor]

BLU could still work as a melee range INT-based caster DPS, due to the nature of their transformation abilities. We'll see how much SE leans into giving nods to old skills though.

It definitely could, but I personally think it would be far too similar to red mage if it was.

I concur, alas apparently, according to some datamining, a new DPS is in preparation and will be using caster equipment. That leaves BLU with a DPS role. But I'm fine with gunblader at tanking I guess ? Though I would have seen gunblader as a 3rd physical ranged that could go melee half the time (much more than RDM who was an utterly false promise for casters).

I don't know, I feel like you that BLU wouldn't be out of place as a tank either. I think I'll love it in any role he is given anyway.

For real? Ugh i hope not we already have enough dps for the next few expansions. Do SE simply not listen at all to it's paying customers

1 tank,1 heal,1 dps really should just be the standard from now on
one for each role
nothing wrong with adding more DPS since there is obviously much more players(aka paying customers) of them and more are needed in parties
Just preferably add a tank and heal as well to please all (who want new classes)

Or at least alternate with expansions.
We got one of each with HW, two DPS with SB, 5.0 should be one of each again, with 6.0 should be two DPS again.
That would probably exhaust all possible options by then, so if they do get to 7.0, I've no idea what they could do.

Well it's not like SE would listen to the masses anyhow :/
Hell we may not even get a healer and/or tank and just dps again...
This was all just my opinion, not trying to argue.

We do not need a tank and a healer every expansion. I'd much rather see SE add one of either each expansion and a DPS alongside it, going to the role that needs it the most at that point (so not another Striking melee or caster).

Spacing them out would make it easier to balance them all against one another over time.

Blue as tank till no because blue mage wears light gear not heavy gear like drk pld war if i hve to look bk at all ff games there or 3 more classes tht could be a tank holy knight rune fencer beast master but thy not trying to make any more pet classes so idk

Final fantasy never add alot of tanks and healers look thm up

[Duskane]

In FF5 you had to get hit by the move to learn Blue magic and the gear was more like plate armor with a super hero mask,
Not saying blue is a tank but its not out of the realm of possibility for it to be one.

Just like cecil being a Dark knight and Paladin led Dark Knight to becoming a tank in ff14 instead of a DPS like in ff11.

Id prefer a gunblade tank anyway but Blue would be alright
