4.5 will be huge

It's not forever.

SE told summoners they weren't too keen about ever giving them primal powers.

Yet they have due to demand released Bahamut and even mentioned maybe one day as higher levels go they could tap into the main primal abilities and have them at a use by their side.

These are things you can't say IT IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!!

SE hasn't lived by their definites in the past - neither should you cling to theirs.

Lore justification isn't quite the same as gameplay balance and limitation.

Make it what you want it to be. I'm happy it is in the game. For what it is. I'm standing by it. They put something they said they wouldn't. Now I can hope they will mess with the idea of making adjustments to raid in the future. If you want to be negative nancy - that's on you. But I'm happy it is in the game.

Lol, lore justification... SE has always held by the "its too difficult, and real primals are too big and flashy to make sense in XIVs battle system", the lore justification was added into the game to give justification to the design limitation, and so that people would stop asking. Guess what, we got demi-bahamut eventually.

My theory is that BLU is coming in 4.5 to test the waters and see how the players react and use BLU, and the devs will continue to ease the limitations within reason. Its something different and new, and for now it is being played safe, so saying "It's forever, lets riot" is jumping the gun at best, and straight up ignorant of how the developers operate at worst.

its pure delusion. People will play it the way it is to be played, How do you want it to be played another way ? It will be played in the ARR open world, in the mask carnival and in spell farm party in ARR content. The whole way he will work isn't the same as any other job, its solo oriented class for solo play most of its lifetime they were really clear on this point.

Having an enormous flashy primal masking half your team mate screen is still not the same as balancing jobs and bosses to be well... balanced. Blue isn't and wont be balanced for anything but mask carnival cause its the only place he has to be relevant.

As a teamate I damn hate this demi-bahamut, masking my view of the battlefield for "look at me I call bahamut" reason.
