A question for the BLU peeps

[Reynhart]

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.

Considering that the spellbook we saw makes no mention of any level, and that they stated that different level of the same monster can teach the same spell, there's absolutely nothing to base this assumpton on. And it does not change the fact that this :

This doesn't really make sense because, BLU has always been gated from learning certain spells based off of what level it is

is just plain wrong. To which I replied :

No, the only time BLU has ever been gated by level is in FFXI.

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.

What I see them do, which would actually fit BLU very well, is having fixed MP cost for each spell. So, you might be able to learn them, but you may have a hard time casting the really powerful ones right away. And it would be a nice nod to what JohnSpawnVFX mentionned, that you could have some kind of "soft cap", that you can try to bypass. Who knows, maybe BLU will make good use of Piety materia to be able to cast some spells earlier that usual.
