Blue mage and why I like the idea

Can you tell me when this was said, because I can't recall him ever saying that, and you are the only person I've seen bring it up.

I don't remember if it was in an interview or live letter but it was around the time Yoshi P was talking about how he thought blu could work in the game as a solo job. For rdm, he said he wasn't sure how to make rdm work since he would want the focus on buffing/debuffing and there wasn't a support role in the game. My wording in the previous post was bad as I shouldn't have said "no way" and instead that "he didn't know how". The point is that they made rdm work in the game even if some people dislike what it lost to get it there. Personally, I wish it had stronger melee elements. If they were able to make rdm work then they could have done the same with blu although I think most of us agree that we would have liked them to expand the trinity system if not just get rid of it all together. From the info we got during the live letter last month, it doesn't sound that is the purpose of limited jobs and that they are instead just going to be pieces of side content while the rigid trinity remains for the current jobs and some of the future ones. I don't like the view point of "well better limited job than nothing" and think we should expect more from the devs.
