"Q: Because the other ranged magical DPS, SMN and RDM, both have their own raise actions, right? I think there are some that want one for BLM, and some that don't...

Yoshida: Just as an example, what if BLM's raise action was based on destructive power, and raised the target at 1 HP with the Walking Dead status? But in that case, healers would definitely complain... We thought of several ideas, including ones to increase the penalty for raising, but all of them resulted in "No one would use it then." And raising is supposed to be the healer's job in the first place, so this wouldn't be the right direction to go in. The same goes for synergy, so instead of adding those elements to BLM, we went for a simpler evolution of the job.

Q: So there were also things that people wanted which, after discussing, you decided not to implement.

Yoshida: Indeed. I think that the people who enjoy playing BLM do it because they like putting out high DPS, so even if we gave them Raise, they wouldn't proactively use it. If they try to hold Swiftcast for it, then it makes it hard to Swiftcast when they need to for movement. The final decision came down to me, but I felt that BLM doesn't need Raise."
