That is a very good question, it is very hard to implement a job like this based on how the game's system works. Blue Mage would obviously be a job of a certain new class, meaning it would only get five additional abilities added to the overall class. The fun behind Blue Mage is to obtain all the spells from enemies. Am I saying BLU wouldn't work? No, I am sure there is some clever approach you can take, but I am definitely not seeing it. You can't have one job using a giant table of abilities when everyone else only gets five. If a BLU does some how make it into the game, don't expect it to work like a classic BLU.

On a general note to this thread, if you have a nostalgic idea going on, its all good, just better bring in a good argument that it would in fact improve the game without hindering it's core aspect, which I see people do a lot. If I am nostalgic of anything I want to see in this game, it is jobs like Samurai, Dark Knight, and Corsair. Of course with their own unique FFXIV approach to them.
