There is another interview (have a look at latest MeHappy video on youtube about BLU and Hydatos) where we have a bit more insight on BLU. There is indeed more planned to it, but this comes close to what many feared : It might not get to 80 during 5.X series. So if that happens, that would definitely mean no raiding with it, no matter what gameplay wise.

which is why I said they are holding Blue Mages back. Mostly they are saying level 60 and then Level 65, Level 70, Level 75 basically find some how to hold it back so you can't hit 80 in 5.4 or 5.5 at all. you have to wait until 6.1 if that before hitting 80 and then not hit 90 until 7.1 if at all where the other Jobs are you guess it 10 levels above us.

Well with people like Starcake representing the "Elite players" and the retreading of nothing but old arguments I do believe I am done in this thread. Have fun people. Shame you would rather flame each other than actually try to see where the other side was coming from, and whether or not you like it. The information in those interviews actually alleviates and answers a lot of the questions and concerns that people had.

What is alleviated or answered? All I see is that it's worse and worse in terms of what's actually fun about BLU, and people who had unrealistic expectations about BLU getting to use the DF in Shadowbringers were dead wrong.

All I see is that it's worse and worse in terms of what's actually fun about BLU,

That my friend is subjective on a person-by-person basis. It's basically asking the same question in regards to any Job in the game: "What's fun about X Class/Job?"

You'd get a million different answers and reasons for it, I'm sure, but if the general populace doesn't like BLU in its iteration just because it's trying to stick to its roots, then perhaps people are just disconnected on what Blue Mage defines in terms of a job or have unrealistic expectations as you said.

The Thing about Blue Mage is it is not for everyone. If you want to play in Old content (Blue Mage is for you). If you want to play a Diffrent kind of Job (Blue Mage is for you). If your want to Solo (Blue Mage). If you want the Latest and greatest Raids, Dungeons and never want to look back but always looking Forward (Blue Mage is Not For you). to be honest Blue mage will be fun and Enjoyable and you get to Level 5 Death the Mob and I really think that Blue Mage will have no Need for LB (Limit Break) at all since you can just Level 5 Death Bosses (First and Second Boss in Dungeons) and have a blast Thanks we don't have to wait for Limit Break 3 to use the most powerful spell in Blue Mage Spell Book there no requirements on when or if we can or can't use it we Just 1 Shot the Boss and Move on. anyway we maybe hated but you didn't want to fight that boss anyway did you .. it's too late anyway moving on.

So...when's BLM getting it's Death, since Death is a Black Magic spell? :thinking:

This is a query, of course, because Lv5 Death is so critical to BLU's identity, then Death must then be critical to BLM's identity. So come on devs, Death in 5.0 BLM's kit please.

You can't Blame the Whole Game on 1 Man and his Team because the problem started in 2010 not 2013 Square-Enix themselves got Cocky and Rush out an MMO that shouldn't been release until it was ready (Are you done .. That was A Yes We are Ready ... Director and Developers answer we are Far from ready "they look at their 25% made game". it'll be out Tomorrow you have 24 to get it ready).
