The hate for limited jobs is unjustified

[Nestama]

There's quite literally nothing stopping SE from making it a real job. You can keep the specific rewards/quests/gameplay, and make a separate mode with a proper rotation for current content. No one would mind that, because that "limited" content would still be there.

Instead, limited jobs are a disguised "old dungeon revival" from WoW with fancy animations. Especially for people who wanted Beastmaster as a regular job, that could have been done. I think that's a shame.

Issue with making them a real job is that you will have to take away the one thing that set them apart from other Jobs in FFV/FFXI. BLU will not learn spells from monsters (only from Job quests and then eventually from just levelling up. Spells will be cycled out per expansion) and you will not catch monsters in Jugs, instead being given a set similar to SMN that you cycle through your rotation (sheep, crab, vulture).
