We want Blue Mage ASAP

[Whiz]

Nothing more from OP haha.
This thread was gold, kept me hella occupied at work.

I see no point to chime back in the conversation. I actually posted this to put it out there so it could be discussed but I thought i was dealing with adults. I wanted to have a meaningful discussion about the concepts of how a BLU could be implemented in 14 since it was a very fun and popular job in 11 that a majority of players loved. Also its a job type(vampire/power stealing melee dps mage) that is not in the game yet. Of course everyone has their own opinion but the babies are just throwing insults just because they assume if you have a good discussion that some how it will affect their favorite job from coming out 1st which is just sad lol. I'll probably start a new thread later on for people who want to have a real discussion about the blue mage topic.
Also I found this link that Yoshi says of course there will be a version of BLU in 14 (I'm just hoping its the FF11 version or something close) along with possibly Drk,thf,nin and Sam. Its in the 2nd question asked to Yoshi.

May you should re-read your OP. I have seen no word discuss nor anywhere in your post or your title that would suggest this is a constructive topic. Rather I see a demanding and you even give them the deadline. Are you their manager? Heck, You don't even say how the class should be implemented or be played. All you ask is demanding like a child demand his toy ASAP, yet you blame others for not having an adult discusss? Be an adult yourself first before criticize others.


And no I am not new to FF series, have been a fan of Squaresoft since ff7. I would rather have a completely NEW class rather than having a mimic class with different name.

JPGAMES: We also wanted to know, if there will also be former jobs, which we got to know from Final Fantasy XI. For example, the Blue Mage was quite popular amongst the fans. Will there be more job classes in the future?

And his response was;

YOSHIDA: Of course not only from FF XI, but from the previous Final Fantasy Series as well. There are a lot of unique jobs in the Final Fantasy Series, so you can expect a lot of interesting classes. From Version 1.0 the new one we are implementing to A Realm Reborn to start with, is the Summoner. But also there could be classes like Dark Knight, Samurai, Thief and Ninja.

So not sure how you came to the conclusion that he said "THERE WILL BE A VERSION OF BLU IN 14". I literally do not see the word blue in that at all, or even the word mage.

lol really? Its in what you posted. The question is will they have FF11 jobs in 14 like "BLUE MAGE" for example. Yoshi says" Of course not only from FF XI, but from the previous Final Fantasy Series as well."

The guys specifically uses BLU as an example and Yoshi says yes and they will probably do DRK,Sam,NIN and thf along with other jobs from other FF.

He states it was popular, not would that specifically be in. The actual question was literally, will there be more job classes in the future. Of coarse was in regards to that specific question.

I would like to see a variation of Corsair/ Pirate later down the line... but I just want a shiny gun like my Maelstrom Admiral.

I don't suppose you've given any thought to the fact that we're not going to need as many jobs as there've been in the past, have you? We have cross-class abilities, skill/playstyle consolidation (consider for example the fact that FFXIV Bard is a combination of FFXI's Bard + Ranger). We also are lacking in the ridiculously long spell lists available to casters. Each class has an "almost" unique spell set (why oh why is there cure and physic... ... ...) Move away from the idea that we need the exact same game as we had before, and realize that class/job expansion is only necessary so long as they are unique.

You have to keep in mind that no one plays classes past lv 30. Its all about the Jobs. Classes are inferior to Jobs. We only have about 7 jobs atm and they aren't that great. We only have 2tank/2heals/3rng/2melee dps the choices are very limited. We need at least need 7 more fun jobs.

I'm tickled at the fact that you only have 1 job and claim that all the current jobs including the 6 you don't have, are not great/not fun. I enjoy being a Bard. "It's the easiest," "It's OP," "bla bla bla." I have fun with the archer based classes. Sure its my only Job currently but its more than enough that I like it.
