I'm not sure how many of you know about the side content FFXI had called monstrosity, but it was basically where you play as a monster, level up each species seperately to unlock new instincts (basically stat bonus and traits) to equip to the monster you're playing. They had goals to make it a badass PVP system and eventually have it where you could level up and be any monster species.
I think in FFXIV it could be a really great side content that would be something they could implement drops or tomestones to help your main character and something I think everyone would enjoy. I hope the developers really see this and take it into consideration.
I know Yoshi-P discussed if they added Blue mage as a class it might have to be a solo or PVE class and as much as I love BLU from ffxi I know it doesn't fit in the FFXIV system well so maybe making blue mage as this monstrosity content might be a neat and different way to enjoy the game. Thank you for your time and consideration.
