BLU for Duty Finder and Raids! Show your support!

If we think it that way;
Why would I want to level BLM to lv70 if I already have SMN 70? I can raid as BLM, so SMN is useless, right? I can do the exact same content as BLM, so SMN is useless and there's no reason to level it up.
And why would I want to level Carpenter? I can't raid with it, so it's pointless, right?

BLU is just a different job, and just like you can't do endgame content as Botanist or Weaver, you can't do it as BLU as well, because it works different. But being different doesn't mean it cannot belong into this game.

The important point is that BLU would lose all it's meanings if it was a raid job with the actual combat system. So if you want BLU to be implemented into raid content, you should ask for a new combat system instead of destroying BLU.

I left out raiding earlier, and my point still stands: we still have a significant amount of content that BLU can't do.

A list of things every other Job can do, that EXCLUDES Savage raiding and Extreme Primals:

24 Mans, 8 Man Normal, Expert Roulette/level Cap Dungeons, PvP, Eureka (or Eureka equivalent), Deep Dungeons, Trials on release, the Main Story Quest, all content available in previous expansions (lvl 50/60 content).

And here's a list of things available for BLU:

The Masked Carnival, level 50 content


BLU is touted as a Battle Job, yet can't participate in any content past level 50. Carpenter was designed with a completely different experience in mind as a Crafting Job. And the level 50 content that you CAN participate in, BLU wasn't even designed to do in the first place.

And I have to note again, that you can't even do the MSQ with BLU. Final Fantasy XIV is an MMO with a notably fantastic story, with various dungeons and boss fights interwoven within it. I find it incredibly ironic that this Job they designed to be a solo experience, can't experience the largest piece of solo content on offer.

Because BLM and SMN have different playstyles just like if BLU was a normal job it would have a different playstyle just like how RDM has a different playstyle from BLM and SMN.

Not so different. Both have a fixed rotation that you must repeat endlessly on every single boss, because from their point of view it doesn't matter if the boss is water or fire; they'll do the exact same thing.

And Carpenter is a CRAFTING job. not a BATTLE job. A crafting job is perfectly fine being side content as it's not the main focus of the game. Battling IS the main focus of the game as it is with any MMO.

And BLU is a LIMITED job. A limited job is perfectly fine being side content as it's not the main focus of the game. Battling is not the only main focus of this game, as it is with many simplistic MMOs.

I left out raiding earlier, and my point still stands: we still have a significant amount of content that BLU can't do.

So? BLU will get updates in the future, so we don't know where it will lead. We can hope it will lead into a better overworld to fit new jobs such as Beastmaster.

BLU is touted as a Battle Job, yet can't participate in any content past level 50. Carpenter was designed with a completely different experience in mind as a Crafting Job. And the level 50 content that you CAN participate in, BLU wasn't even designed to do in the first place.

BLU was designed with a completely different experience in mind as a Battling Job. If you want to raid, you can pick up all the other jobs, just like you're not being FORCED to play as a crafter or gatherer.

And I have to note again, that you can't even do the MSQ with BLU. Final Fantasy XIV is an MMO with a notably fantastic story, with various dungeons and boss fights interwoven within it. I find it incredibly ironic that this Job they designed to be a solo experience, can't experience the largest piece of solo content on offer.

Again, you can pick any other job. You need to complete the first part of the MSQ in order to unlock BLU, so what's the point anyways?
