And yet those some people "throwing a fit" have been right again and again. I also don't get where BLU is "SIGNIFICANTLY" different to literally every other job. In fact what is irritating me at the moment is that from what I see we are neither getting an "unlimited Blue Ultimate Class Fantasy" OR an actual fully featured class. Square, as usual, played this as tepidly and safely as possible and this implementation of BLU is nothing but milquetoast mediocrity. Enemies being immune to death, skills being modified from the monster originals, a "soft" forced rotation due to power chaining and MP costs, learning spells from tokens . . . it's like Square had this vision, walked back on almost all of it, and then attempted to justify their design decisions by the thing they THOUGHT they were originally going to design but aren't actually creating anymore.

Well, I guess it could be worse. They could've used the dev time to blow tens of millions on a in-house custom game engine only to scrap it after two games. Baby steps.

So you've seen what they have down the pike for the implementation of BLU? I mean like you've seen the exact layout of what they are going to do? No? oh ok..., I understand people are "nervous" , "scared" whatever but seriously the instant bashing on how its being implemented is ridiculous at this point and i say that because EVERYTIME a new job has been put in people start these threads complaining and then the job ends up being extremely useful and we see no more issues ( aside from balancing complains which there will always be) until the next set of jobs come out then we'll revisit this same kind of thread. Lest we forget the complaints about AST , SAM, RDM , DRK , MCH , NIN when those first were announced yeah they weren't limited but people had nearly the exact same complaints that they do about BLU to a extent.

So, to answer in order:

1) Yes! Moreover, as an added bonus you can too by checking the handy link I posted above.

2) Blue Mage is - for better or worse - the first of its kind. It is not a new job, and will never be useful as presently implemented in the same aspects as any of those other real jobs you listed.
