As an FFXI player, thank you for Limited Jobs and BLU SE

[KokonoeAiyoko]

Pls don’t do my dream job dirty like this. I want a job-job not a mini game.

You seem to not understand the differences between a Blue Mage and a Dancer.

You didn't have to do anything specific for Dancer in FFXI, so why would you in this game? The Blue Mage setup is reminiscent of classic Final Fantasy games, so obviously this was how it was going to be.

And... a "job-job" is a odd thing to say as BLU is very much a job at the end of the day. I suppose people have gotten into a comfortable state where if SE experiments outside of the 3 roles it leads to weird claims such as this.

Another thing people are forgetting is that we're locked to level 50 at the moment and throughout the past few years, people have been complaining level 50 is boring on all jobs. I'd wait until we get the full Blue Mage before the panicking starts.

Except DNC in the old games(which BLU was based off of) learned their dances by talking to other dancers in taverns.

I believe that was just Final Fantasy 6. I don't recall that in 5 or the Tactics games. The BLU learning in this game is very similar to the one in FFXI. That said, if they do make it based off 6, I'm sure it'd be more entertaining for the masses than the BLU setup.

I believe in 6, Mog learned Dances by fighting in different terrain and climates, and the exact dance he performed from a set was random. Dancer would fit right into a limited class, as would any other, if Square so chooses. Which means we'll be right back here a gain when it's Dancer, or Beastmaster, etc. The entire "limited" job concept needs to go. More solo content tailored and specific for each class? Great. Cutting those classes off at the knees with only feeble and transparent excuses as to why? Bad.

But then you look at all the other various Final Fantasy games that don't do that.

Once again, Blue Mage has always been known to learn moves in annoying methods. Dancer has one game where it learns stuff like this and it was never repeated again.

And when said job appeared in FFXI, the game that was more unforgiving than this one, there was nothing necessary for you to do outside of leveling up to obtain all abilities.

Nothing to worry about really.
