    Correct. There is nothing stopping Blue Mage from functioning within the framework of FFXIV, aside from the stubbornness of the development team.

    Mime is the only job that led me to initially doubt that it could work within FFXIV. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that there was an interpretation that could work. Think about certain fighting games that feature a character with access to moves from a variety of other characters. Mime could work the same way, with access to moves like Dragonfire Dive and Deathflare that can be used at will. Rather than directly copying the actions of teammates, Mime could function like a sample platter with at least one action from every other job that exists.

    I was thinking mime could possibly copy the other jobs it has been grouped with, letting you switch at will to the tank/dps/healer job that you're running a dungeon with at the time. Sounds nice in theory, maybe, but seems like a mime would be a convoluted mess of mechanics.
