I am quite dissatisfied that Blue Mage was turned into fomo content that barely has anything going for it to begin with and its updates have been lackluster at best. Even gacha collab events are easier to complete and fully grind out compared to Blue Mage’s extremely limited time window during its updates. That being said, 2 years ago there were no plans to add in female Hrothgar or male Viera, and look where we are now, along with them finally adding a 4th healer at last with the gameplay lots of people were asking for.

Blue mage released in a time period where it seemed they were constantly failing to read the room and this led to all sorts drama surrounding locking the ending of Eureka behind Baldesion Arsenal, the lack of a 4th healer at the time, and the massive disappointment of the return to gender locked races. As it stands now Blue Mage is the last remaining issue from that bygone era.

Please take away the meme spells, this “blue mage specific content” doesn’t last more than 2 weeks. An actual full job however would have infinitely more thigs to do. We just want to play with our friends and do *current* content, not stuff we already cleared years ago for nothing but a tentacle monster mount. Blue Mage feels like no more than just another War of the Visions event like the NieR, FFIV, and FFX collabs in that mobile game, except those collabs lasted far longer and had more stuff to do.
