We want Blue Mage ASAP

[Whiz]

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.

Well again that's my opinion but I have 50 drg and yeah its fun but i'm not blown away. The positional requirements needed to pull off powerful sustained dps take a lot away from the Job imo. I'm lving BRD also i'm 30 atm Its not the greatest either imo. I had about 4 top lv jobs in FF11 COR and BLU were my favorites I'm hoping to see these soon also in 14.

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.

As I'm reading this I realize you missed my point entirely. It's not about the transition from class to job (something that's so obvious why would you even mention this /endflame). My point is regarding the fact that the design of the game is such that we don't need nearly as many Jobs as FF has had traditionally. As I stated, Bard and Ranger have been combined to a single job. Smn/Sch are essentially the same Job mechanics with a different role focus. Also take into account that cross-class mechanics basically hand you what SE believes are the essential abilities of TWO sub-jobs (not the lower-leveled half of 1 job like FFXI).

My point is, there is no need for the RDM of tradition that we know and love, so if they're going to add a RDM, it should be unique among the other mages.
Back to OP topic: I'm not so sure about the viability of a BLU in a game with shortened, level-based spell lists. How many spells should BLU learn? How many would be viable in a given fight? How would those spells differ from what's already available to the 3 mages already active?

I was thinking: what if they blended blue mage, ninja, and 'killer' effects in ffix. Basically, while I enjoy learning skills from mobs, that wouldn't be implemented. Instead, take a ninja, and give them skills that have 'killer' affects for specific types of mobs. The 'killer' affects can yield unique beneficial effects or debuffs on the specific enemies. It would be a type of melee hunter in this sort of regard. I wouldn't want this class to have a 'killer' effect for every mob, just some of the popular ones. You can still have your evasive tank the 'killer' affects were standardized into a specific buff/debuff.


In short; make a magi-ninja with 'killer' skills (FFIX) that affect specific mob groups. No BLU for this game. RDM is 'yes'. DRK is 'yes'. IDK about SAM, but it seems reasonable.

This coming from someone that played FFXI because of BLU.

No we don't want Blue Mage asap. Let's fix all the issues first. They can screw up the game in 5 years when they add Blue Mage and Dancer.

No disrespect intended by this. I'm a vet XI player that stopped after the Adoulin expansion and moved onto XIV. I played blue mage on XI, it was quirky and fun, I do not want to see a reheated version of that in XIV at all. If you want a XI bluemage so terribly guess what...XI is still live. Fire up that account you have/had and give it hell. New game, new classes/jobs, {yes please}

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.

1st off they are already mimicking all the 11 classes. Show me one "job" that they have now in 14 that wasn't in 11. Are we playing the same game or you just trolling?
Also in my op what i did was present an idea thats coming anyway and I said how I though it could be easily implemented in the game. The part about we need it it asap was a joke and if you took it literally then shame on u
but I honestly think your smarter than that or at least I hope so lol. Like it or not we are getting Blu in 14 as per Yoshi question is just when. GL trolling

Well you might as well quit 14 also because they already said they are going to incorporate a lot of 11 concepts themes and jobs into 14 just read the link I posted. Also your playing FF11 jobs now SMN BLM WHM DRG ect... so your just contradicting yourself.

Oh now the whole thing "We need it ASAP" is a joke. How typical of you!!!And well sorry for people taking it seriously, thought you want an adult discussion, right after you cricticize others for not having an adult discussion with you. And the suggest you give out is so brilliant that in the end, what do you want? I don't know. And since I already being called a troll, might as well troll your post more. Are you ready for the consequences?

[LionKing]

Ha ha ha, swing from a troll to 15 yrs old, you make me feel young. For that, I thank you. Oh and I already done my house chores. I want to keep my house and rooms tidy and organised. That is what it take to be an adult, I know. And for the morning, I don't have cereal for breakfast, your post is way more delicious and give me a very refresh aftertaste.

Call me dude?Are you a troll and/or 15 year old kid, same as what you called me? And Who dude whom? I don't recalled to be friend you. Is there a rule saying that how a signature should be? Or someone being jealous because he can not have it? LoL
