Please make Blue Mage a normal job

Adding more long-term rewards and using older content would be great way to extend the longevity and save on developmental costs. Still basing on the DoH/DoL, maybe give their own unique currency to purchase these items. But I don't know if they're really interested in putting more investment than they already do into another branch of jobs alongside the DoW/DoM and DoL/DoH.

It already have those i think, i can't remember all of them but i remember one in particular, the Cute Justice minion, iirc you have to finish the Masked Carnivale to some point so you can unlock and buy it. But to be really honest it's both not enough and not worth it, all the skill grinds and effort to clear Carnivale just for ONE minion? It doesn't even have the mechanical sound that all the other alexander minions have! i remember my disappointment after getting them and finding out about this.

maybe come down from your high horse to our DC and see.
already disregarding the JP Only PF, chances to find high-end blue mage pf are low. even more for skills-collecting dungeon.

I don't understand why my horse is high for asking for information someone implied they had, but I'm sorry to hear high end BLU PFs are rare on your server.

Well DoH/DoL still contributing a lot in your game progression like food / crafted gear or even gil farming. but what BLU does to game? destroying FATE by abusing the skills.. yeah its good for veteran player that only want quick farm on something like yokai/new relic/speed run Aurum Vale for mog tome. but let's be real , you know since Shadowbringers up many new players was coming and SE feels like want to make an event to veteran player help new player having a good experience by having the FATE back to active again on ARR/HW/SB maps. Sadly currently people only abusing BLU for farming this stuff which is very bad. This won't be happened if BLU was normal job and getting balanced like other jobs.

As for long-term rewards they already have emote , minion and the mount from savage achievement, but the effort to get them all was pretty yikes and thus many of my friends giving up on it.

The funny thing is it's kinda ironic that they gonna have to keep balancing current BLU even though they're LIMITED JOB that's supposed to be limited because SE doesn't want to spend time and resources to balance them, because balancing normal jobs are hard(we're kinda in a good job meta right now, though there are still some jobs weaker than the other, but in Stormblood it was horrendous). First was the Carnivale thing that made them "nerf" the suicide skills by putting death cooldown on them. And just recently new problem arise in an event where you have to farm things in FATEs and those FATEs are one shotted by BLUs, i personally don't think too much of it because i'm not really interested in the event, but a lot of people does. It's silly that they made this job a limited job entirely because they don't want to put too much work in it but they end up having to put extra work for it.

I mean if they are balancing Blue Mage it is kinda sus, since they don't want to balance a limited job. Yeah they starting to put in extra effort when they said they didn't want to and they are now trying to keeping it alive allowing it to Level to 70. Level 90 Blue Mage Normal job in 2021, I hope and pray to the gods!

I know it might not be popular opinion, but i feel like limited job is just a status its given till theyve fine tuned it, honestly. Otherwise the rebalancing is kind of silly(but also due to answering complaints like missile being unfair in FATEs etc) I think if it is one thing they seem to show is that they like to attempt to do things differently from time to time. Take Rogue/Ninja for instance, they tried to introduce a new job before an expansion and decided adding it, so close to 3 new jobs in HW was a bit more work than theyd like to do ever again. So what would be the next way of introducing a new job midway through a couple expansion cycles they are unsure to begin with whether it will work or not? Add it as limited through a couple expansions and keep updating it until its ready. If 6.0 rolls around and we get a job other than 1 new healer, and its a ranged physical dps, i dont bet often but probably by 6.4 BLU will just become the 4th caster job It might be frustrating for a lot of people right now, who are unwilling willing beta testers for the job, but perhaps theyve purposefully added all these redundant reskinned skills to ease the fans into accepting that possibly, having set skills and a rotation of the best abilities it has to offer at least as the full time job, is totally ok considering there isnt much variance at all in the many spells you learn. Ive come to that point. at 74/80 skills now. There are so many i could do without being on my hotbars(self destruct, final sting), and some i wont ever take off.

I’m calling it now. I don’t care if I’m wrong later. They pushing BLU to 70 now. Next expansion the new jobs will start at 70 including the BLU job which will be a normal job. I’m calling it.

[SweetPete]

We have our first all rounder Trust and BLU will be our first all rounder normal job. Calling it! Hehe

Honestly wouldn't be shocked at this, as I was thinking it myself. I refuse to get my hopes up though, lol.

My thoughts exactly!
