    So I just finished leveling ARCANIST to 15 to be a Black Mage...

    ...then I found out it's ARCHER (the physical DPS kind) and not ARCANIST (the magical DPS kind). So now I'm sitting here utterly baffled as to how the hell Square Enix and the developers processed this. I don't want to say I wasted a good chunk of time leveling Arcanist because it was fun, but WHAT KIND OF LOGIC WAS SQUARE ENIX USING? When I looked at the requirements, I saw ARC as in ARCanist, not ARCher given an Arcanist uses magic and an Archer doesn't.

    YOSHI PLEASE GET SOME SLEEP.

    I need some serious therapy now. Anyone care to amuse me for a thread?

    You could have just checked the requirements when you went to do the BLM quest before levelling Arcanist.

    Now you can have fun leveling archer, I believe that the BLM can use cross class with ACN so its not all for nothing.

    There's a simple reason why blm requires archer instead of arcanist. Arcanist didn't exist until 2.0.

    Yes, BLM can also use ACN crossclass skills.
    With a Lv15 ACN it would be Ruin, Physick and Virus

    Arcanist didn't exist in the original incarnation of FFXIV, but Black Mage did and the job unlock requirements carried over. I don't believe any of the jobs have a secondary Arcanist requirement.
