Blue mage and why I like the idea

[Hazama999]

If they felt that the job was too busted or hard to balance around... If they felt they absolutely had to implement instance restrictions, I kinda wish they'd just prevented it from entering savage/extreme/ultimate content. Things like dungeons and normal-mode instances are... well, to put it bluntly, insignificant. Don't people care more about the bleeding-edge savage/extreme/ultimate content? Isn't that what people mostly talk about when they talk about balance? I am no hardcore player but I know I'd care more about factors affecting, say, Omega Savage progression over... melting a random boss in Gubal Library faster.

Seems like part of the dissatisfaction with BLU is that one couldn't rightly sit there and say "I main Blue Mage." because as it stands, it is [and this has been said multiple times before] not so much a new job as an activity unto itself. People like that sense of ownership and personalization. You know, to take a job and "make it yours" so to speak. I just think that if the instance restrictions weren't as harsh, it'd go a long way towards making it feel like it's "your job."

Just this tired lala's two gil.
