And where is this bit about SE not releasing jobs past 5.0 coming from? You've seem to pull that out of somewhere....
I said that "unless you're wanting to say" that. Not that you did. The point was that a full version of blue mage could be one of the jobs in 6.0 or later since it would require a similar amount of work. Less work on animations and more work on balancing than most jobs. The blu we are getting is not a DoW or DoM. It's a limited job and is side content. I hope people enjoy it and I also hope that we get a DoW/M blue mage one day.

It could be through an additional job crystal(s), curated spell set that is balanced, or make a toggle that lets you swap between the two versions like how pvp changes the current jobs.
