A question for the BLU peeps

[BillyKaplan]

They also mentionned Beastmaster and Puppetmaster as idea for limited jobs, and again, those jobs need to collect things to be really efficient. I really think that's the deciding factor.

You know what I'd have loved to see for this sort of thing? Them creating a system that blocks your entry to duties based on the acquisition of certain skills. Especially if there are several jobs that can benefit from it so it's not a one time investment for BLU. You want to join the leveling roulette at level 50? Great! You need skills 1-20 for BLU, puppets or what not 1-20, and such and such beasts. They won't play optimally? Guess what, it's not limited to those jobs.

What gets me is that the whole "you can't learn it through leveling" thing is rubbish. We're two expansions in where the job skills you get are locked to your job, and don't come from your class. Lore wise, this means that we learned the skill from the Soul Crystal.
You want to go into DF as a BLU? Here are the enemy skills the BLUs who had the crystal before you learned. You want to learn skills on your own? Sure thing bruh, have fun with your side-content. You're padding the Soul Crystal for the next BLU who'll come after you. But at the same time you're ready for DF.

I would even argue that such a thing can be applied to Beastmaster and Puppetmaster, if they say that the 'beasts' and 'puppets' are aetherial constructs like SCH's fairy. But all the more so, in the case of BLU, they had at the ready a lore explanation for skills that both can be learned through leveling, and that are still enemy skills. But they chose not to use it.

I vote A. It's different from everything else and that gives me motivation to play it. If it was what people want, I wouldn't even unlock it as I already have a BLM.

And yet SMN and RDM aren't BLM reskins so I'm not sure why you think the devs would've dished that out for BLU. Ironically, the people who are against BLU being locked seem to have much more faith in the devs than you do.
