SE, the concept of "Limited Jobs" is a really bad idea, turn back now

[Volsungr]

Finally, all of my forum -beep- has paid off.

This is definitely a great direction they are taking/going into. hopefully the level will be synced with the rest of the rosters by the time next expansion come. we might not have it as a normal job now, but it's definitely a start. Kinda excited about the new spells though, since that means we're finally getting to stormblood.
what i'm actually scared with this development is by adding new skills, it will actually makes blue mage even more OP than it currently is and that is one thing that we want to avoid. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

I wonder if Ultimate contents Blue mage only achievement will be added... progging will be a thrill.

It's certain that blue mage still getting their attention since they actually adding new skills and raising the level caps. Lets just hope that we can actually have the same level caps with other classes soon. Still wondering if ultimate with blue mage will be happening or not. But still, savage will be there to test new spells. The main concern is if the new spells are too overpowered and making it even harder for them to get blue mage out of the "limited job" zone or maybe we will get more role specific skills so that it's less wonky to play with in the "new" upcoming contents for blue mage

All that stuff was already developed. When Blue was announced they mentioned to already have 120+ skills prepared.

Yeah they said they were only releasing 50 before shadowbringers even though they had 60 finished so people "had time to figure the job out" so this is actually the first new update they've made for blue mage.

yeah I've heard this before, things like "we've actually already developed 120 skills", and "we are only releasing 50 skills for now even though we already have 60 finished" kinda set the precedent or teasing that this whole limited job is only temporary and it could be lifted in the future. Which is a good thing looking as caster, healer, and range is the only one that only have 3 jobs on the role right now. we have 4 tanks and 4 melee at the moment and we just got our 3rd ranged this expansion. we already have additional 2 melees(2.4 and SB), 2 additional tanks(HW and SHB), 2 additional ranged(HW and SHB), but only 1 Healer(HW) and 1 Caster(SB) so if they really want to develop blue mage further next expansion is really probably the best timing.

To me, if anything, is pointing that at some point blue will get "abandoned" (probably only getting their level cap raised and that's all) in favor of the new limited job.

I'm on the camp with other posts in the past, if you see a job guage by 70, then i wouldnt roll with the abandoned part, personally. I think that limited status is just them hashing it out, they knew better when they said in the past things like RDM/BLU wouldnt make it because itd be too hard to implement the right way etc. Understandably the player base getting a little impatient due to what seem like touch ups or bandaids around the whole thing. But who knows, maybe you will finally get to do a relic through Eureka. We won't know till the patch hits sadly, and logically will probably be the part 2 patch as well I see alot of veins bulging in anticipation. Best thing they could do is let you queue solo in the BLU Duty Finder they added
