    This is an offical slide from the liveletter. Its says that its a job designed for solo play and not suited for parties. Just because some translator on reddit thinks that it could mean something else does not change that on the official slide it simply says that it was designed for solo play. And now 90% of what it is, is group play. Only carneval and some skills are solo, the rest not.

    If it was just leveling then this would account to every job too because you can just level them outside of instances and solo as well. That should not make it a special point on a slide.
    The bad translation was discussed immediatly after the liveletter (and even during it). I just gave a recent exemple. But still, people completly ignored that discussion and kept stretching the idea that this slide meant "Blue Mage is going to be 100% solo!".
    The discussion was pretty much ignored. Just like the slides showing groups of BLU playing together. And the fact that FFXIV was a MMORPG and that it was very likely that group play would be involved.

    For me, it's just a case of miscommunication like it happens from time to time. But since I don't base my opinion on such trivial things, I don't really care. If people didn't understand that this job would have MMO elements attached to it, SE could probably be blamed for not being clear enough, but at that point it's almost like people are complaining that the obvious wasn't stated.

    Whatever the case, feel free to correct that reddit translator if you think you can read japanese better than them. It'd give your argument more weight instead of making you look dismissive just because what's being said doesn't fit your narrative.

    Edit: Just to be clear, this argument is completly ridiculous to begin with. If you want BLU to be solo only, then explain why and give good reasons why it'd be better. Don't simply go "oh, because the powerpoint said so".
    SE isn't going to revamp BLU simply because people misunderstood a powerpoint slide.
