Primal Drops for Blue Mage

[MsQi]

Rng encounter unless a boss, rng on said enemy using it and rng they hit the right character you wanted to learn it so yes there was rng chance to learn just no rng after the skill was used on said character. 3 instances of rng vs 1 in ffxiv. ffxiv is incredibly low rng chance but at least its 1 roll vs 3

Those RNGs are just part of the battle system of the games involved, not something built into blue magic learning mechanics. (Some of those can be circumvented though use of other abilities.) That's like saying the mechanics of a boss fight represent a short coming in the blue magic learning mechanics.

But they are though you cannot learn blue magic in those games without going into battle thus any battle mechanic that can hinder it is tied to the learning process you cannot learn roulette in ff7 without facing the correct enemy which is a random encounter then you have to wait for it to be used which in older games random enemies have a list of abilities they randomly pick from and then you have to be hit by it so gotta make sure your character you want to learn ain't dead unless by the ability itself and then win the battle. All of that is part of learning the spell so yes they are learning mechanics just like you having to wait for Shiva ex to use Glass dance before killing her it is part of your learning process you don't abide by those rules set down you will never learn that ability/spell
