It's interesting between the Japanese and English General Discussion pages

[Krokov]

Their Blue Mage thread is in the dps forum. They don't have a datacenter move discussion because none of their servers are being moved.

Ah indeed.

Ah indeed.

I took a glance at the thread and leafed through a few pages. By and large the discussion seems to mirror what is happening here on the English side:

Some people are pleased, some are against, many looked to have a "wait and hope they change it after feedback and testing" opinion. I was also amused at one fellow calling Godbert "Hildapapa" and I wish to use that name more often.

All in all while the location of the discourse is different it would appear, at least on the surface, to reflect the conversation we're having here on the English forums. Honestly not surprising, people are people and Japanese or English there's no gestalt hive-mind of agreement.

P.S. I will say in both English and Japanese there seems to be a significant amount of . . . confusion? That might be the word? People all over are confused by what exactly a Blue Mage can and cannot do. What kind of content a Blue Mage can and cannot enter. It's a new concept so, again, not too surprising and there are some things we do not know but I think overall Square could have communicated this better and with more volume.
