You bet I do! The jobs are honestly ass extremely viable and only really dive into extreme class picking on week 1 raids if not only day 1 or 2.
It the casters are all fun, unique, and genuinely amazingly done! While I do agree that summoners pets could do with a client side option to make them bigger looking or something, every single caster is great!
They’re so varied and all have unique and fun mechanics that I personally love to play!
I’m fact all jobs do! I’m very impressed with how different the jobs feel while remaining competitive with maybe MCH being the black sheep in terms of quality of design.

I love how they handle the jobs in ffxiv! So, yeah! I would love to see a fresh take on blue mage in easily the most consistently fun role of caster dps!

I don’t see “just” another caster. I see “Holy cow” another caster from how well done these jobs are handled

I'm happy you think that all the DPS casters are very different, but to me they all feel the same except they have one or two very little abilities that make them a bit unique for example "vercure " and "verraise" and Red Mage has a faster raise than Summoner but both of them can still raise. But they are all the same and I'm happy for this implementation of blue mage we are getting.

Blue mage is a different and it's not like the other jobs, core of blue is going out there and learning spells and using spells in battle.depending on what spells you learn you can fit the role of a tank healer or DPS or hybrid. Blue Mage is a very gimmicky job
