Thank you for making Blue Mage unique!

im pretty happy with most of the blue mage trappings and im stupid hype for 5.0, i just think locking blum out of df is unnecessary because with a few sanity checks built into its skillslots it could totally work with all content, and theyre putting too much worry into "THE META" assholes because those people will kick a sam because "NUT ENUFF RADE UTYLITEE!!!" and its a powerhouse in the right hands

As much as I'm excited for BLU, I'll never stop thinking that it's a job we'll never get to use normally.
It's unfortunate, but this is going to nag on me everytime I think of BLU, and probably kill some of the enjoyment of the job as a whole.

I'm curious how all this will work, there's potential for sure, but until we get our hands on it I'll be waiting until January (hopefully not March) for the pre-release.

I'm displeased that it's not something that's going to be useful any time soon after release, if at all. A solo only class that can only reach level 50 and won't let you queue for roulettes, I cannot express just how deeply disappointed I was to hear of that.

Aside from around here, I see plenty of mixed opinions and plenty of people quite pleased. I really do doubt this one thing killed it more people than not, vocal or otherwise.

Whatever my dude enjoy your echo chamber, I'm just gonna pretend this doesn't exist until it's fixed.

Seeing varying opinions = echo chamber
Seeing nothing but killed hype = not echo chamber
Got it. I don't for the life of me understand it, but I got it.

i am concerned about the execution of blue mage, but i got the feeling if it does way i can enjoy the story as one job and do dungeons as another similar to how i play FFXI

if it dose super well we may see the inclusion of beast master or morpher and if morpher gets added i will be insanely happy.

i do wonder what skills / actions we will get in level 50 to 80 though for them.

i also hope in the future they add something for blue mage like the pvp bar of set skills to pve to allow them to join Duty finder, and all there skills in the open world

[Vahlnir]

It's something genuinely new, so I'll refrain from passing judgement until I can see how it goes. Something that's actually new is a rarity in this game.

I would also like to thank them for keeping it out of roulettes outside of premades

I suspected something like this when they announced it at the Keynote. Realistically, a Job like BLU is simply too difficult to include in any balanced fashion without heavily restricting it to fit the existing Role structure. Those restrictions exist on other classes for a reason.

I am not sure I wouldn't have preferred a BLU modified and restricted as a normal Job but frankly I didn't really think we would ever see true BLU working in a game format like FF14. With game formats like this any role or Job has to have a certain amount of specialisation and BLU is anything but.
