Promote Blue Mage to a full job in 6.0

[IlSire]

What they did to BLU is horrible and the first real blunder I've seen since ARR.

Leaving it limited doesn't make any sense since the class isn't even strong to begin with and requires other people willing to waste their time helping you to get your spells with very low learning chances (looking at you, primals).
So much for the "Solo" job indeed.

The devs managed to balance jobs which seemed impossible to add into the "trinity" like Red Mage, Bard and soon Dancer, I'm sure they could have made something for Blue Mage aswell.
How about a job gauge which builds "blue magic" when casting weaker spells and then allows to cast more powerful spells after a certain treshold (like primal skills)? How about more interactions between spells doing combos like the chimera ones?

Saying that people would discriminate against Blue Mages because of not having the spells is also another lie since learning is pretty much a fancier way to do your usual job quests, how about gating those behind even more spells to get people to learn "for sure"? Maybe even making mandatory spells learned during a quest, like with Water Cannon?
And don't make me talk about the "Can kill Bosses with Doom!!!" excuse since most things are actually immune to it as it should be... for a regular balanced job you know.
If I, a simple fan, can think of a solution I'm sure skilled devs like the FFXIV ones which made this amazing MMO could have easily come up with something even greater, the sad thing is that it feels like they didn't even try.

Go on and watch the Fanfest reveal, people were screaming for excitement followed by utter silence at the "Limited" part.
That was akin to a giant slap followed by a giant laugh in the face of someone who saw their long awaited desires shattered in an instant.
I really think that Yoshi-P and all the devs, which up until now have always been very close to the community, should reflect on that.
