Blue Mage can do Final Coil. Wut?

It should be fun to gather the spells, and finish the challenges, but after those 10 hours or so, it's just unfortunate so much time was spent on something with such little life span.

You're not just gonna be playing BLU for 10 hours, trust me. There will be a healthy dose of Magic Ranged DPS gameplay to sort out.

And for people worried about BLU's roadmap lemme speculate a bit.

--BLU is by default a DPS role job, so queuing for DF dungeons, trials and raids is a flick of a switch away.

--Most people have already assumed that this is a live beta test of the whole Limited Job platform as a way to introduce new (old) jobs (beastmaster, puppetmaster, etc.) that have a different set of demands (acquiring the bulk of spells/abilities by means beyond just leveling up) attached to them versus standard rotation jobs. This is a good thing. Why? We get a new job and the dev team gets feedback, both shining and salty, from gameplay and forums.

--And as most everybody has further speculated, at some point Yoshi may pull the trigger on full access for BLU, if and when? Please look forward to it. But in the meantime, if you dust off the salt? Most of what is going to happen with BLU over the next few months is a good thing.

I'm already down the road with where things could go for my most favoritest job ever, so it's not easy for me to see the pessimism in BLU being limited, but in a small corner of my hearts heart? I feel you.

I'll see you Blues in the field tomorrow.

This statement isn't far off from the truth. If SE wanted to do it, they could grant Blue Mage access to content, such as Duty Finder, with a simple "flip of the switch." Although, more likely, they won't do so without first making some adjustments. Unfortunately, many people, Yoshida included, seem to overthink the amount of work that would actually be necessary.

Unfortunately, this hopefulness is essentially wishful thinking since Yoshida hasn't given any indication that this is merely a test phase or that granting Blue Mage access to more content is something they are even considering. I hope those who are supporting SE's decision to implement limited jobs aren't hinged on the belief that this is all just temporary. Once they see that people are satisfied with limited content, what would stop them from pushing for a job that's even more limited? They never promised that future limited jobs will get their own unique side content, after all. You know how the saying goes. "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile."

I still wish they'd allow Blu to go into deep dungeon solo. I think it'd be fun. But at this point until I get to play it. I'll take what they give for my fav ff job

Palace of the Dead caps at level 60, but BLU caps at 50.

Maybe when they increase the max level of BLU.

Tbf, you can also acces PotD with only ARR installed and a self-imposed 50 cap. You're just limited in how for you can go.

But I still wouldn't expect to see BLU getting access even at 60. There's meant to be some form of challenge to the content, and BLU sounds pretty good at breaking challenges like that.
