Fun for one. TT rules in this game need some tweaking so 4 star cards aren't worthless which is another issue.
But what's the point of that you ask? What's the point of chocobo racing? Why do anything outside of weekly lockouts at end game and, depending on how much you like monotony, throwing yourself at Eureka? What's the point of aiming for the rare fish added every patch?
There is no point. If you disregard the concept of fun even something with potential financial gain as fishing can be overshadowed by other activities. The real question will be how good is the Masked Carnival. If Blue Mage has an end game that has longevity (which it MUST have because you WILL eventually collect every ability) than there is no problem. If not, then there's a problem.

Frankly if we were in a literal "it's either this or nothing" situation than I'd rather have this. I have no desire to converse on how they could have trimmed it to make it fit because that's not what happened. They had decisions, and they made one as opposed to sticking to what yoshi said 4 years ago and giving us nothing instead. So I'll take it. And if we're going to be really really honest. I had absolutely no expectations of something like mime (and especially calculator) every making it's way into this game. Maybe it can now.
