Could BLU possibly be the 4th caster in 6.0?

Won't happen. Yoshida is so worried someone, somewhere, sometime will be excluded from some kind of content because they didn't take the time to learn X or Y spell that without a major redesign it will stay limited. That's why it's a limited job in the first place.



This also takes away everything the blu mage is. And there would be 0 reason to farm up the cosmetic versions of the spells so animations and the programming it takes to make it so we can learn a spell from a mob making it c complete waste of development time, money and resources.

IMO make blu the 4th caster and if someone is excluded cause they don't want to learn specific spells that is entirely on that person. It would be the same thing as people who don't want to get abilities from job quests or wear their job stone. If you get excluded due to something that is completely within your control, but you refuse to do it cause RP or cause you "have a job, and family and a rl" or other such nonsense reasons, that's on you.

You underestimate the value of glamour, people will hunt these spells for the same reason they took up BLU. Mounts are also a form of glamour since they all basically serve the same purpose yet everyone still wants to farm them. And I said the glamours would still have unique properties in the masked carvinal.

If people don't want to learn specific spells they can't enter duty finder, that's why I said to restrict them until they have their default 28 spells.

What baffles me is why people want to play BLU if they don't want to hunt for their spells. That is one of the defining concepts of BLU.

Which is also why I don't think we should just be given 28 spells even if via job quests. It's not blue mage then. The homogenization and the jobs that are a shadow of themselves due to the fact they stripped the combat system clean of attributes, buffs, debuffs and all the other stuff that made combat interesting and strategic is bad enough. Blu should keep its identity of nothing else.

As I said, if someone cannot be bothered to do anything to prepare for content, outside maybe farming tomes, if they get excluded it is entirely on them. Let's light a fire under ppl backsides to actually do something outside of putting their hand out.
