So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

[Shippuu]

All I am saying is there is quite a bit to say that BLU could be a potential candidate, and I don't think Yoshi-P would show is Japanese audience a Spider-man shirt expecting them to assume it to be Samurai based of of something extremely discreet like a directors name. Most people in that audience will more than likely come to the conclusion of Blue Mage. Could be right? Or it could be them going to great lengths to confuse people. .

I absolutely think the spiderman shirt is hinting towards Blue Mage, but that's the only real hint we've gotten towards blue mage outside of the anniversary event mention. YOU are the one coming up with other weak reasons that have really nothing at all to do with Blue Mage, with the tremendous reaching with Raubhan.

They're simply tidbits in the game I think could help support BLU in the expansion lol. Considering Raubahn is an Ala Mhigan, I am expecting to see him in the expansion, can't say for certain how big or small his role is, but if it does turn out that the second class is BLU that could mean that he really was one to begin with. Really it's the name of his weapon that gets me, that is a very specific choice to have used for him and it didn't just show up in his lore tidbit.
You can see the name of his weapon while he uses abilities very similar to Ifrits during the Eorzean Alliance, that's very recent (https://youtu.be/pM9jrqB2uf8?t=11m50s) . I don't know, to me? That can obviously be easily blown off by some, but I think all things considered it can have implications. Is it reaching? Sure, but it's not reaching as far as the name of a director from a Toby Maguire Spider-Man movie from 2002.

So just watched that, and I'm going to have the biggest laugh if we do get BLU, and instead of monsters it uses the powers of primals instead. As you mentioned those abilities were rather ifrit based, and if that happens we may as well delete SMN xD

It would certainly be an interesting concept, but I don't think they'd go as far as giving us primal abilities. I'd think that if Raubahn does prove to be a BLU because obviously they're not just gonna make him obviously one before they release the actual class, that he is probably far more powerful and trained then we the players would be as BLU. I think a notorious monster quest system might be fun for collecting different abilities, rather than class quests. I'd much rather earn my abilities then just do a quest and be done with it.

Raubahn is a Gladiator and have nothing to do with Blue Mage except sharing his name with a FF XI NPC

This video neither proves nor disproves anything lol. Because yeah in 1.0 they're going to just make him a "Blue Mage" before the class exists. It's kinda like how Thancred is a bard but he uses knives instead? He didn't always used to dual wield them either. Yeah, Raubahn can't just go into a coliseum match and fight people using BLU powers either? The video I posted earlier of him in the Eorzean Alliance battle shows him both using Ifrit type abilities, and displays the name of his weapon which is very specifically a BLU weapon in XI. So I mean yeah, you can sit and act like there is absolutely nothing at all there, but you're just willingly choosing to not look at what's in front of you. I am not saying he is without a doubt one, but there is certainly a lot there emphasizing that he could be one. To brush that away because he fights like a gladiator in a 1.0 coliseum match seems a bit silly.

The name of the weapon was already displayed back in 1.0

Motto: The line between victory and defeat is drawn by the swift and trod by the dead.
Weapons: Tizona─a cursed blade taken from the hands of a former rival after defeating him on the bloodsands.

Like you can see, Tizona is a trophy he won during a battle. That can mean that his opponent was a blue mage. That don't make himself a Blue Mage.
