"Blue Mage is the first "Limited Job" coming to FFXIV. A Limited Job is a job that is meant to be enjoyed in a solo environment and is not suited for parties. "

Right from the Letter from the Producer, Number 46 (Where it's announced.)

They said it was meant to be enjoyed in a solo environment and not suited for parties. So why is half of its content locked behind parties, and it's not capable of doing solo content any better than anyone else, and in some cases, even WORSE than other classes.

Outside of gimick shotting a boss fate, RDM is a better solo job than BLU right now.

And interestingly enough, the screenshots show the BLU soloing the primal content for the abilities...
