    Square enix US Tweet: two jobs expansion? If Blue Mage, what role?

    After watching Mr Happy's YouTube video regarding the job, he made an interesting comment on a tweet that was removed from the Square Enix Na twitter: https://imgur.com/gallery/AO9jO so apparently they removed it quickly but if the second job will be a blue mage, how will this affect the state of the game? And how could blue mage fit the role of a tank?
    Link of Mr Happy's video that might bring interesting points: https://youtu.be/5yet1b5JNmE

    Technically BLU can be anything since it just steals abilities from monsters. Can easily make that a DPS, tank, or healer.

    Except that would be one hell of a balancing problem to juggle and you'd need to have gear for all three roles. Blue Mage was mostly DPS in the series with a handful of support spells.

    "Or", not "and". As in they could make it any of those roles. This is especially easy since all 3 roles have access to DPS abilities so you'd still get a bunch offensive stuff, just the kit would be tooled around defensive abilities or healing abilities, as opposed to just pure offense. BLU's a weird beast though so it's all kinda tricky especially with the limitations on job design XIV has, so who knows if we'll even get BLU.

    Sorry but Yoshida's continued comments on Blue Mage, especially yesterday during the JP Naoki's Room session, implies BLU will not be coming for Stormblood. He reiterated his old ideas of Blue Mage being a solo content type of job unable to do group content, where their gameplay would involve traveling the realm and collecting monster abilities as a "Professor of Monsters". Considering he bothered to talk about it again so close the Frankfurt fanfest heavily implies it's not going to be coming in 4.0.

    Ah okay just something I caught from the video, but the tweet did made me wonder if it will affect the state of the game if it's only two jobs for the expansion. I do think either healers or tanks will be frustrated about it but it will be Armageddon if the last role will be a dps lol.

    Blue mage could learn different skills that look visually different but do the same thing (same potency/etc).
    I would say it has to be tank.

    Maybe the last role will be a new Disciple of the Land. Blue Mage, monster analyst
