It is not iconic to BLU, it is iconic to the Final Fantasy series as a whole, and the developers of this game already chose to ignore it. For them to act like now it has to be there for BLU is spitting in the face of people who wanted it for BLM.

So? Look at a wiki list of Black Magic that was used in the franchise. They tweeked plenty. Blue Mage shouldn't get special treatment just so it can end up being a less useable job.
