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

[Gourry]

I think that blue mage is an interesting job because you can learn spells from enemies, but honestly I don't think that it really fits MMORPG party settings. If anything, I think it would work solo and it would be really fun to implement it as a job where you go around and learn abilities from every monster, so I'd definitely like to try and do this, but I'm concerned when it comes to playing in a party players would put up barriers if you haven't learned certain abilities. Additionally, in the event you are able to use abilities forever once you learn them, the difficulty of learning abilities would be high, and we wouldn't be able to balance the system so it wouldn't revolve around procuring your abilities instead of equipment. This wouldn't be practical enough to fit in an MMORPG party setting and conversely if you are swapping in only certain abilities you've learned, the true image of a blue mage would diminish, so this is something that I am concerned with. -LetterLIVE 08/23/2014

Why can't we have the minstrel or another guy (for job quest) who use his power to help us to remember monsters we killed ?
With that, he could recreate battles and we could learn spell from it.

Don't ask me, ask yoshi-p, he said it, not me.

I think that blue mage.... LetterLIVE 08/23/2014

Says "recent interview" than quotes something from 2014 for a job coming in 2017.... this does not count BLU out.

You're right, that was a single section of which i made about 4 or 5 posts, the rest of it counts it out and that just added yoshis thought process, the recent interview i was referring to was one in which he spoke of blue mage and how it might work at fanfest but i cant find the source right now because its 4am and i don't care to look for it also this is a speculation thread don't get so mad, at the end of the day if you want to believe blue mage is what it means then go ahead that's cool man.

who said i'm mad, i made a one sentence post. People have been saying some very very stupid things when it comes to BLU.... and Yoshi-P's idle musings 3 years ago doesn't mean we aren't getting BLU. Blue Mage has been heavily hinted at in game lore, Yoshi said the next job will be something iconic in line with FF's 30th anniversary(Blue mage/enemy skill/blue magic has been in more FF than RDM/Red magic). BLU is easily the most straight forward guess from the spiderman shirt. I've had to deal with so much "BLU won't work in FFXIV" bull. ALL jobs added to FFXIV have been changed to match the battle system, the mages are scaled down massively in this game (BLM only gets 3 elements, SMN has a chicken nugget for a summon), Yoshi literally just talked about having to change RDM from what he thought it should be to make it fit.

It was in the Naoki Yoshida's room part...you can find it in this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme..._naokis_room/?

He spoke of BLU and how if he does ever put it in somehow it will be a solo job. It's not coming anytime soon...lol he confirmed that during this part of the live stream.

Anyway I watched a bit of the Spider-Man cartoon and the movies , the way Spider-Man moves around the bad guys and how he shoots the web..reminds me of dancer. He literally dances around them and insults lol its great...

I was gonna say BLU due to the story of Spider-Man, but not after hearing Yoshida speak of it in that live stream.

To be fair, if he said "I can't really talk about that," or gave any other quick pass it would be a huge red flag for the class. And as long as he states it as his belief he's not speaking for the team and whole of FFXIV.

Spider-Man eluding to DNC... my only hope is they make it feel as far apart from MNK and NIN as possible. If it heals i'll actually be excited since I spend a ton of time /dancing anyway. If its SAM/Shogun... eh, would have preferred a more hype shirt is all.

Good point...however, what about him saying "It (BLU) won't come for a long time" that part confused me as well...>.< and same, if it is indeed DNC I don't want it to be like nin and mnk....that would not be too fun

The thing is, he brought up BLU and BST without being questioned about it. It's not like the guy asked him about Blue Mage and he deflected with a personal opinion of how it should be done to avoid confirmation. The guy said he predicted Shogun as a tank job for 4.0 and then Yoshida brought up BLU and BST, i.e. he used them as deflections to avoid talking about Shogun/samurai or even acknowledging them. That's more telling in my opinion.
