Two Months of BLU: Discuss!

[Anesteria]

Again, this clashes with how people will define the job - you could make the learn rates 100%, but then what keeps you from stuffing them in a job quest to go defeat X monster and learning it that way? You know, the same way you learned Water Cannon. Quistis did learn Blue Magic uniquely. She learned them exclusively through items. Such a system could be mimic'd here in XIV thanks to the Walaqee Totems, but I doubt that would have been satisfying and agree with BLU fans. I still stand by this particular statement, though, especially seeing we have another job that often gets criticized for its implementation, despite being a fully functioning one.

It wouldn't have mattered as much because people wouldn't be complaining about the lack of the "limited job" system we have now, if it never existed, they would just be speaking about a different implementation that didn't foresee the "limited job" to exist as is. And if it's balance, it still doesn't matter because there will always be problems with balance in every game forever and ever.

In the end though, if it really didn't matter and people would complain anyway, there would have been no need to reduce an iconic job into a "limited job" only experience that goes nowhere.

Trying to reinvent the wheel has already bitten other games in the back, again look at WoW and the backlash it received for attempting to start over again just for the sake of a "unique" and "new" experience. BLU was supposed to be a "different experience" for the sake of it when that's not what people asked for. No wonder people are upset.
