As much as I'm hoping for blu tank I can get down with this. SAM tank and DNC healer for 5.0 would be hype.

2 DPS would be a bad idea. I can already see the threads at launch of people complaining about the DPS queues.

It will last 2 weeks like when HW launched and everyone and their mother was playing drk and dps had instant queues.

They should focus on balancing the current tanks and healers before they start thinking about adding more IMO

DRK was a tank. That's why DPS had instant queues. If you had only DPS then the opposite will happen and DPS queues will get longer. It is pretty much the exact opposite of what happened when HW launched.

Tanks had queues at HW launch but it didn't last, my point is long dps queues won't last long either.

Existence of active non-role reliant content such as PotD, Frontline PvP and possibly the new Daidem and Chocobos being pets rather than party members allowing for better soloing while waiting on queues might negate a fair amount of complaints.

You sir have a fantastic point.

Also a few visual points.

The hero theme.

Part of the Collectors edition is Butz where BLU first appeared.

I think there is actually more supporting Blue Mage instead. Most people might think they wouldn't release RDM BLU together, but there have already been suggestions of that happening in past events (Look here for reference: https://40.media.tumblr.com/6c5e47bc...t66q5h_540.png)

Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider and that's how he got his powers. People can reach deep, but there is more for BLU.
Now these are just coincidences, and some people don't take connections from XI with a lot of merit, but they are rather uncanny:

In Final Fantasy XI the name of the Blue Mages were "The Immortals" and they were captained by a man named Raubahn. Gee wonder where that sounds familiar. The Immortal Flames in Ul'Dah is run by Raubahn who just so happens to also be an Ala Mhigan, not to mention that Ul'Dah is rather notorious for it's Ala Mhigan refugee population. I don't know, some people might brush that off, but I think it's just too much of a coincidence.

The other thing that makes me think BLU would just make more sense, is why release Samurai during an expansion about Ala Mhigo? Blue Mage follows the aesthetic much more than Samurai does if we want to make some comparisons to how they were in XI, and I think Samurai deserves a bit more, like being released in an expansion when traveling to Doma.

I also think BLU would make for a better tank than SAM, I am really hoping SAM won't be a tank but ehhh that's a person bias lol.

Long story short, could be SAM which is what most people thing, but in reality I think BLU would make more sense for this expansion at least.
