    i think it's interesting, and they did it bc people always were asking for it so they delivered...but blu never seemed like something that would fit in an mmo, at least not one that uses the tank/healer/dps triage. monster actions means all kinds of actions and it doesn't really make sense to lock it behind one of those three roles. and there are tons of people who enjoy playing the game by themselves while being able to communicate with other players so it's fine. this is something of an interesting timekiller. just adds something to do. possibly while waiting for queues, even lol

    and it's not like blu is the only "new job" we're getting, so??? stop crying?

    Well, I called it being a glorified minigame. But 49 actions is less than even I predicted with my cynicism. Covers mostly iconic abilities, not miscellaneous.

    Jolly gee.

    Blue Mage turned out exactly how I expected it to, since this is a MMO. This is why I didn't want Blue Mage next.

    It really feels like the devs thought the only way BLU could work is if it's exactly like it is in FFXI, and never even considered changing it to actually fit into XIV. Every other job (even Red Mage) got massive reworks from what people might be used to, in order to make them work for this game. I'm not sure why Blue Mage is the one thing they decided absolutely couldn't be different from XI.

    If your going to make limited jobs at least address your open world areas you seriously need to expand on this rng for spells to go into a arena/instance dungeons isn't cutting it. What are the reward anything unique for doing this beyond spells or just tomes again seriously wth! I better off to play blu on ffxi >.>

    They could've done so much more with this. And if it ended up being a caster with blue mage flavor only, how is that different from essentially any dps? They're all variations of the same role doing mostly the same thing with utilities being the bigger difference. Red Mage wasn't exactly what we wanted but they made it work within the battle system of this game but Blue Mage was too hard for them. What a waste of interesting new abilities and spells that won't be used in meaningful content anytime soon if at all.

    Heck ya, i love leveling via FATES and using it for a 1v1 system that's already present in the game.

    Whiteknights out hard in this.

    People need to stop being amazed at backlash over new, different content. Different in and of itself doesn't make it good. And while a part of me thinks BLU might be a fascinating experience, it's not what was asked for. This is a horrible bait and switch.
