Blue mage at patch 4.5

[jon041065]

There have been a lot of good ideas on these forums and the subreddit for how to achieve a middle ground with blue mage. I think the best would be two different job crystals. One for the "Carnival Mage" and one for "Blue Mage". Blue Mage can be the XIV version of the job like how we have XIV rdm and all the other jobs and Carnival Mage (FFV blu) can be the job with the limitations and all the memes and shenanigans for those that want the soloing job. I also like idea of the Carnival completion allowing the limitations to be removed or something like achievements that let you queue up for all content in the 21-25 range once you have finished the "Learn all level 21-25 blue mage spells" achievement. SE's goal should be a middle ground and I strongly believe that would result in a net increase of happy and excited players than right now.

I think thats easier said than done and will take a lot of time to get right, in terms of overall balance and fun job mechanics. Don't get me wrong, i want them to do something with blue mage, because even if i am not a fan of the class myself, i can relate to people that wanted this job for years and do all content with it.
