This was the obvious point that you so unremarkably missed. I'm just genuinely asking myself how you could miss the premise and logical process when it was spelt out for you so plainly.

It is physically impossible when the concept itself of a "limited job" did not exist. And Yoshi-P's statement was so broad that it took enjoyment as reliant on this one element, when people would have enjoyed BLU arguably more than they do now had the job been introduced as a normal class FOR STARTERS.

So with this information we can see that Yoshi-P's claims are fallacious and demonstrably wrong, OR he’s lying.
And if he is lying, then one must ask the question, why is he lying. What’s the purpose behind it.

Because if he’s lying, it means the rest is a lie too, since each block of what he’s saying relies on one another, then the entire structure comes crushing down and one can only wonder what exactly they’re attempting to cover.

The answer was already given by Zsplash, and that BLU is just nothing more than a cheap piece of content. And with this realisation, come a whole other level of consequences, if this is indeed the answer.
yes, people can miss something that does not exist, invention doesnt come from nothing it comes from needs/desires.

i already told you, before blue mage, they had contraversy around jobs not fitting the spirit of their FF design. bard, being primarily a dps, summoner not having smns with giant OP Skills. red mages not being jacks of all trades.

so yes, some people would have been salty if blu mage was a normal job, because being a normal job means it would have had to be a different type of blue mage.

let me break down the logic here.

can people be upset, they didnt get something that doesnt currently exist? yes. I am an artist, i have done custom work, it is extremely common. In fact, you and many others are upset they didnt get something which never existed. You wanted a blue mage that fit into ffxiv combat/job/design framework. This thing you wanted has never existed, no previous iteration of blue mage was like what you want. No current implemtation matches it. and yet you are upset. You are upset because you percieve your potential enjoyment would be greater if the design was different, likewise there would have been people complaining about a ffxiv ready bluemage and the design sacrifices that would be made to fit that space.


and what exactly is the lie here? I am feeling like you dont really get nuance. There is no lie or fallacious statement. blue is a primarily solo job. If i say i am a tall person, that doesnt mean i am the tallest person in existence. It means i am comparitively tall. Blue is the most solo job we have seen thus far. It can solo to max level. it can obtain 40/49 skills solo, and 44/49 skills duo. it has recurring content, with rewards that can only be done solo.

the dude is giving one paragraph explanations, there is going to be some things that are not fully elaborated.
