Raubhan having anything to do with FFXIV's potential Blue Mages is an incredible reach. His feats we've seen have more in common with Warrior's and their Inner Beast than anything else, and his animal motif is nothing considering he got it from the bloodsands, coliseum fighting, where PvP armor has similar animal motifs as well. The fact he once dual wielded as well is also entirely irrelevant, as the only game Blue mages have done so in was FFXI, and it wasn't even a trait natural to them initially. If you keep going off BLU from FFXI, then it makes the most sense to put them in a Thavnair/Radz-at-Han expansion, which is a place we'd likely go to far sooner than Othard.

That's like saying MCH should use dual pistols because Merlwyb uses 2 pistols. Yet MCH almost nothing to do with Merlwyb in the slightest. Just like despite Yugiri being a Ninja, we actually don't get the abilities she's shown to use. Special characters usually have nothing to do with our actual Jobs in the slightest.
