A question for the BLU peeps

[kikix12]

Given how hard they seem to aping XI's style of BLU, it's not at all unreasonable to assume that blue magic will be level restricted in this game as well. If the job comes out and it turns out a level 1 BLU can go into Akh Afah Ampitheatre, and learn Shiva's bow ability and is able to use it at level 1, I'll be eating crow, but I seriously doubt that's going to be the case.

Blue Mage won't be able to enter instances of a higher level than they are, no different to other classes. But that does not mean that skills will be gated behind levels. The question is whether they will be able to learn them from the mobs that they have access to.

That being said...does it really matter?! It's not even relevant to the topic. There are other threads about Blue Mage that talk about its mechanics.

Oh fair enough. I was thinking Undersized parties could get a lowbie in with high levels, but I forgot they've at least got to meant the minimum level requirement to get in. Still, I have a tough time believing level 1 BLUs will be able to learn and equip spells in the open world from level 50 monsters, even if they get help from friends.

You can go unsynced with friends into a lvl 70 duty as a lvl 1 of any class.

So much for that solo experience... but that was part of the joke of this iteration of BLU from the get-go, that contradiction.
