I think you need to take more care when reading.

"Not like they completely dismiss" is not the same as "They will focus on party play". It means that the party play will be there, will get something here or there, but will not be the focus.

Unless you want to explain to me why Blue Mages have a skill that REQUIRES a party to even be usable, and it being a skill specifically implemented for this iteration of Blue Mage through secondary means since no monsters use anything remotely similar.
