How is BLU New and Innovative?

I don't know why you think I believe it's impossible to adapt level 5 death for content, I'm just telling you what they explicitly said about it.

I don't. I was asking you what FF game a Death spell one-shotted bosses, because the very idea of that is absurd. Yeah, there are strategic ways to kill bosses more quickly than drawing out the fight through conventional means (Soul Cage in FF9), but I have never heard of simply casting a DEATH SPELL to just up and one-shot any boss we want. No, I don't think that's balanced.

Final Fantasy V says hi, namely BLU, with the right spells, broke the ever loving crap out of the game itself. In fact, just look up a standard Final Fantasy 5 speed run and you'll see what I mean w/ Lvl 5 Death.

Very well. Looks like I have a long search ahead of me.

SDaemon and I gave you many examples where you could one shot bosses with a single spell/skill in past FF...as early as FF I

SDaemon and you weren't the ones twisting my words.

Why are you accusing me of twisting your words? Your original post had nothing to do with level 5 death. You said it wouldn't remain limited, I merely gave you the reasons they gave as to why the job will remain limited, I don't care whether they make sense or not, it's what they said. You seem to be taking this way too personal.

None of those previous FF are MMORPG.

The only valid one could be FFXI where blue mage was balanced for a MMORPG, if death was able to OS any boss without restriction then its a valid point, if not it not worth being so important in the balance.

Considering the question was :

In what FF game does a death spell one-shot boss enemies?
EDIT: Or any game, for that matter? And I mean a DEATH spell, ONE-SHOTTING a BOSS.

I'd say it's not relevant.

And since there was exactly one MMORPG FF before XIV, it's difficult to make a trend for all FF MMO, especially when Yoshi-P clearly stated than "breaking the game" was part of what makes BLU fun.

My understanding is that BLU will break every level 50 content without having to overlevel it (since you can't, obviously )...and will also probably break all lvl60 and 70 content when it's level is raised. I still think that SH will bring content with BLU in mind, that won't be broken as easily.
