Blue Mage is a masterpiece of game design.

If information is expected to be shared between players in order to progress, then they're going to use public channels to do so. If you don't like it, then turn chat off and keep it off.

Learning how to obtain a spell is not a spoiler. There's no plot twist involved in making something hit you in order to learn the skills. Learning how to BLU is a community effort. If you want to learn it all organically on your own, by all means do it, but don't expect others to cater to you not wanting to hear """"""spoilers""""""

I swear I said I turned off the chat. Actually, I said it. But thanks anyway for your """"""advice"""""". What I'm trying to tell is that it obviously happened after I realize it was needed, thus having an impact on my early experience with the blue mage. That's why I hoped SE would have done something for this, like creating a dedicated channel for blue mage talk, or restricting it to private discussions for a few days. I never said that information shouldn't be shared, I said it should have been made the way that people who want to share it or receive it could have done it without altering the experience of the others. Opinions are made to improve further similar implementations, and SE may want to hear something different than just full praise or full bashing.

Your opinion's not a truth. It makes a major negative difference to me to know where to learn the skills since I expected to revisit the old areas and find it by myself. Also, the analogy of story/spoiler is complete nonsense. If you watch the replay of a sports game you missed, being told the final result is a spoiler, and there's no story involved. A spoiler isn't about story, it's about telling you something you didn't want to know about a something and that will negatively affect your own experience with the said something.

Trying to enforce your opinion on me won't work. What isn't a spoiler for you may be for others. And making stories up about what I wrote is somewhat funny, I didn't know I wrote something that deep with so many hidden meanings. I just wrote my opinion for the sole purpose of giving my opinion of what could have enhance my own experience.

Did you turn off Alliance chat in your first Orbonne run so people didn't spoil mechanics for you?

It's always off, but not to avoid spoilers, to avoid nonsense.
