Will Beastmaster appear in any Endwalker content patches?

Maybe jon, aveyond and Shurrikhan are fine with that because throughout this entire conversation it's all about just getting the job to max level above anything else. I have a feeling they won't like this basic-beach BLU though.

If Blue Mage were a normal job with a standard rotation during Shadowbringers:

I would have dedicated the time to levelling it through roulettes/Bozja by playing with other people in actual content as opposed to just letting a max level player kill things for me in the overworld.

I would have specifically grinded out the remaining caster sets from the NieR raids in order to create Velvet Room glams for the class based off the Persona series.

I would have sunk the time into getting its relic weapon from Bozja like I did for a number of my jobs.

I would have dropped the $$$ to potentially boost the class on my alts depending how well the job fits each character.

I would have likely cycled through it and my other casters while running dungeons/raids that specifically drop caster gear in order to grind for glamours.

I likely would have done some new game plus for Blue Mage especially the 5.1-.3 patches.

I also probably would have done a few extremes as it if I liked the weapon from the fight for the job.

Instead this expansion I used Blue Mage in: literally nothing, because I got all my moogle event rewards by doing regular activities with other jobs in previous expansions or passively while doing content with the other full jobs. The game does not stop once you hit max level on a job, for a lot of players that's when the real fun and challenges begin. I do not care where or how the normal group mode spells are learned-whether through a job story quest battle or overworld mobs that are within access to all. The job as it is now is full of an absurd number of roadblocks on a path that at best only leads to rewards a lot of people already own, with its unique rewards being lackluster and underwhelming in comparison.

Honestly it wouldn't shock me if they capped such a version for the achievement and then never touched it again, retreating back to old favorites.

The only reason I'm bothering to share my thoughts on the job at all is because I want to be able to play it, along with the other jobs I levelled and played regularly during this expansion. I just don't want to be limited to a carnival with 1000 copies of the same spell or having to wait 10 hours in party finder to get the spells locked behind dungeons, and for some reason, ex fights. I still vividly remember seeing people post about how they had cleared the Shiva ex fight over 100 times and still never saw the spell drop. And now that they nerfed the spell rng, no one does these fights as blue mage anymore beyond its 2 week window of activity when each patch is released.

What would limited beast master even get as a "unique" reward? The supposed teddy bear fashion item Yoship teased in a live letter months ago? Allied seals? A new umbrella? It makes the tentacle monster mob mount model that's been in the game since 2010 look just as good as the Ultimate Kamuy by comparison. Please spend my sub and mog station money on literally anything else at that point.

Good...for you? It's nice that you did all of that with every single job. I can't relate. From my personal experience: I leveled all of the jobs to max, barely touched most of them afterwards. Can count on one hand the number of times I switched to any of the tanks and most of the melees. On the other hand, I made use of BLU. Got the job to max, got all the spells, enjoyed the questline, finished the Gogo fight. I had a good time. Which is more than can I see about the other jobs/roles I mentioned earlier.

And that's just a matter of content and playstyle we enjoy. Difference between us though is that I am aware and have accepted that BLU is side content, a fact I know that bothers a lot of people here. You just wanting another caster to grind with doesn't make turning a piece of side content into something it isn't any more reasonable. If you want a generic, nameless caster for that, maybe wait for 7.0 or something. It doesn't even sound like you specifically want a caster anyway, any new job would do.
