People seem to think FFXI is the BLU that everyone is comparing to. BLU has been pretty different across all games in the series with the main component being learning enemy skills. The BLU I love most actually comes from FFEx and Trine was one of my favorite spells. In fact, that game adjusted the monster spells you learned, like bad breath, to be usable in the game that it was in. Every game modifies the class a bit to make it usable, there is no reason FFXIV can't do the same!


There are so many skills and moves for them to pick from to make a base rotation. They don't even have to change the current system. Just have it so that there is a preset that needs to be learned and equipped for the DF and endgame raids. The "default" BLU. You'll still have to learn them like every other ability you learn as a BLU, but that preset is your requirement for endgame.
