BLU for Duty Finder and Raids! Show your support!

It doesn't matter if the skills are OP or not.

The point is that generic jobs have 24 only skills aprox, and BLU has 49 right now. 49 UNIQUE skills.

Note that it's entirely possible to have a proper job with access to all content without giving up all of those spells. Already, half of them exist purely for novelty purposes. It's almost difficult to find 24 spells that are worth setting.

The leveling is fun, getting spells is fun, but that's it after 50 I won't have much of a reason to play BLU because I don't like RNG for spells, the Carnival will be fun the first time then I'll never touch it, we always ask for more in this game but I'm asking is this all we're getting? Where's the rest of the class?

That's all what the job is designed to do. Tons of people are having a lot of fun.
It's simply not for you, I'd guess like a lot of things in this game. Move on.

What the community tried to convince me BLU would be because it's limited: A varied interesting job with no fixed role or rotation.

What I got level 1-40: Cactus Mage

What I got 40-50: Rams Voice Mage

What I have at 50: A DPS with a Rotation just like any other dps with rng skills that don't work, and barely "Overpowered" DPS output

It's limited because we aren't allowed to access the DF with it. Pretty much the only thing I've been seeing to truthfully describe its limited status. I'm hoping BLU's in a beta of sorts. Otherwise I have no idea what they wanted to accomplish.

Which is exactly what I said the fun was finding the spells and messing around with them the fact that we won't have BLU with anymore spells until ShB and later in its patch days is pretty shoddy, I already stated that that was the fun for me you being an echo chamber doesn't change my opinion but you can't ignore how BLU is a collectathon rather than a job.

It'll just be another weekly do this for Allied Seals for the people that continue because you can't level, you can't do MSQ, you can roam around in the overworld and make premade parties for 50 content, it's why for myself, I don't see it having any longevity for myself if it was an actual beta test for the job to be a fully integrated job I wouldn't feel as cheated.

I had kinda hoped in the future blu was going to be a flex job since it learned offensive and defensive abilities from monsters. Replace the role of ranged or caster depending on what skills they chose from.

YoshiP has been VERY clear that we cannot have Blue Mage in Duty Finder because people would bully them for not having a certain spell and that's not fun or fair!

Wait? What?

You had one job, Square!

P.S. There still exist no reasonable or logical reason why this class cannot have access to play the actual game. I will keep calling Square out on this like I did over Chapter 13 of FFXV.

Hey if the community wanna be stupid, Yoshi knows nothing will stop em. Looking at you ilvl 390 Seiryu EX parties!

[Elerus]

Yoshi knows nothing will stop em.

Indeed, precisely why the argument of "Bullying Blue" so as to close it off from parties doesn't hold water. Frankly, I'd rather have a Blue Mage spamming Water Cannon than some of the people I've grouped with, haha!

[MrKimper]

It's pretty fun, I still don't see why we couldn't have this AND a regular BLU but it's fun for the first couple of levels. Hoping it gets released as a full job at least, once I finish up the carnival I'll be mildly excited for the level cap raise.

I've had fun with Blu, but I'm beginning to wonder if the Limited status wasn't entirely so they could throw a new class out half-assed on a budget without any real testing and get away with it.

Blu simply wasn't tested or planned out. From the complete mess of the exp system and various exploits, including "whups we didn't think choco's would do that", "one-shot-switch-class" and "my non-Blu alt is getting Blu exp" to the number of useless skills to the fact it isn't solo at all despite claims it would be to the fact that earning lv50 skills involves having a lv70 carry you through EX a million times to 1000 needles being silly and so on.

I don't think they had a plan to accomplish. I don't see any. The entire gameplay revolves around cheating your way to 50/max skills via being carried by a lv70 then all you have left is the Carnival and a fairly mediocre lv50 mage dps to spam it with. I'm convinced Blu is an attempt to put no real work into a class and push it off as a finished product.
