Honestly, ever since they starting announcing this job, I was thinking that blue mage will start off as a limited job (i can't remember if i read this somewhere, but i faintly remember this being brought up), but eventually turned into a real job after they get the right feel to it. but comes SHB turns out they just continue the same pattern.. so this kinda bums me out. we all have our opinions regarding the current limited blue mage, they should've just gathered the data and use it to construct a proper job blue mage. here's hoping it'll be next expansion.
