Simple Solution to BLU

[Toodles]

Stances & swappable spells wouldn't work bc SE doesn't want ability-bloat (stances give access to all-in-one albeit limited to sets of spells) & they want rigid balance (they'd have to balance around every combination of spells if selecting from a list).

Apparently, your definition for the word "Simple" is a whole lot different than mine...

It's far more simple than all these elaborate spell-slot & augment ability suggestions.

It uses the current system, it doesn't cause ability-bloat (which' SE's concern), nor does it require new tech be developed.

It's literally just 2 or 3 jobs, it's like how thru created SCH/SMN..........

But it's not faithful to what a Blue Mage is truly supposed to be.

LOL!!!

Blue Mages are different in every FF, they learn spells from monsters.

FFXIV can make BLU however they want, just because you're relegated to one role-specific set of monster-learned skills at a time doesn't make it not a BLU.

Thanks for the good laugh, that was hilarious. Can't tell if you're kidding.
