Why I look forward to Limited jobs

[MonsutaMan]

If you are saying, not all jobs or content have to be connected to raids, I agree with that. You mentioned FFXI, BST was a shinning example of a job that was pretty much a "Limited job" before FFXIV even came into existence. I feel like, not a lot of people may not have played BST, otherwise, they would see that this limited job concept was actually a thing at SE as far back as 2002-ish.

Solo oriented jobs are good to have. I mean, having a thread titled "Tales from the Duty Finder" which pretty much insults the FFXIV populace is not the most inviting thing for new players lol. maybe some folks want to get away from the drama, kick back & relax, doing things at their own leisure.

I think there is a place for solo jobs. Again, I have not played with limited jobs, but from my understanding, it is solo oriented, correct? if so, there is a place for solo jobs, done correctly. Keyword...

It's not designed for party and endgame play, but it's not solo-oriented either. In fact, I remember lvling BLU as being very social with all the spell hunting. The solo part of the job is in reference to its unique content, the Masked Carnival. Where you do challenges by yourself with the spells you've learned. Of course you can go the extra mile and do things at lvl 50 that no other job at that lvl can. Mr Happy soloed some of the early Coil fights and Ifrit hard mode using BLU.

I think BLU leans more towards a collectible job with some solo aspects rather than the lone wolf idea that BST accidentally ended up with. Doesn't mean BLU can't fulfill a niche, it just won't be a solo OP powerhouse that a lot of people assumed.
