It's been nearly a month: How are limited jobs?

[BubblyBoar]

So, almost a month or so has passed since our first limited job. It' has been a topic of discussion and most people's opinions have settled now I think. Things could or could not change in the future, so this topic is really just to discuss how people feel about limited jobs now that the smoke has cleared on BLU.


A few points that I'd really like to hear now:


-Are you still playing BLU
-Just for the weekly masked carnival challenges?
-Did you play it more than if it was a full job?

-Did you enjoy your time playing BLU
-Did you enjoy the content limited job offer, not necessarily BLU itself (overworld collection/special arenas with special conditions)?
-Would you rather adjustments for BLU to be more enjoyable as a limited job, or turned into a full one?
-Are you looking forward to more limited jobs?

[Deceptus]

Underwhelming.

The learn rate on a lot of the ex spells is abysmal and only that low to pad out the content. I have yet to get Shiva and Levi and have basically given up.

Am I still playing BLU?

No. Not even for the MC challenges.

Did I enjoy my time?

Leveling yes, acquiring late job spells no.

Would I rather they tuned it into a full job?

Yes. So many of it's "Overpowered" abilities don't work on bosses, they're immune to them.

Am I looking forward to more limited jobs?

If this is the way they're going to implement them, No. All of the negative things about BLU were predicted before hand and feedback was offered and it was ignored.

Everyone knew the learn rate would suck. Everyone knew that it wouldn't be able to solo dungeons / bosses.

I can't play my favourite final fantasy job because there's nothing to do with it. Im told to be grateful i even got it at all but honestly, I'd rather i didn't get it if it meant having it like this, because then I could have at least been excited for something in the future, whether we got it or not. I'm still yet to be presented with a reasonable argument why BLU should have been limited, and I've still not played it since week one.

[Tempest222]

To be honest I took maybe a week or so break from the game and almost forgot BLU even existed upon my return since it’s not a job I can actually play. I really have no desire to pick it up and do the carnival, been there done that. I can’t play the game with it so to me it essentially might as well not even exist. Once you’ve leveled it and gotten all the spells (or all the ones you you’re willing to grind) and done a run through the carnival, you’re basically done forever.

I don't play BLU anymore besides the weekly challenges and that's sorta if I feel like doing them. I have all the skills. got them within the first week but I am sorta a competitionist on that stuff. Also got the perfect blue title.

I enjoyed it, even the grinding of all the spells.

I wouldn't mind another limited job class as long as they eventually make said classes a full job and are very transparent with their plans for the job. Honestly, I dislike this "shroud of mystery" stuff they do for literally everything since it causes a lot of anger in the community and just generally weakens peoples morale over all to have things they have hope for. Sure, some mystery is nice, but not for everything, personally.

I'd much prefer a full BLU job. since they already have plans to raise the level cap in 5.1 and 5.2, giving new fights and more skills etc, then I hope in 6.0 it becomes a full job and they cut off making new carnival fights. so people can enjoy both forms of it. I'm sad to think of that in a way since it's 2+ years away though before I can enjoy the class I've wanted to play in the way I've wanted to play it, when it's right here.

-No, I'm not still playing BLU.
-Not doing the weeklies. I don't need Allied Seals, I do hunts and haven't needed seals in many months. I looked at it last week and saw I needed a Primal skill for the bonus and lost interest.
-I played BLU for a little under one week, in that time I cleared the carnival, hit level cap, got all non-primal skills and max gear.

-Yes, I enjoyed it, it was fun to play. It was just over way too soon.
-The limited aspect has meant nothing to me, its given BLU no real benefits. Blu isn't op. The carnival didn't need a limited class, you could make battle puzzles with a regular class.
-No. They need to rework the whole concept of limited jobs.

[Oriens]

It's another failed concept for this game.

RNG to learn spells doesn't make the content fun or challenging.

They better admit defeat with this one and rework BLU to a proper job and scrap "limited jobs" entirely.

[Dualgunner]

I started leveling an alt to acclimate myself to tanking again. All the zones are dead again. I saw one blue mage in Northern Thanalan and that was it.

[Videra]

They're a hot garbage fire.

-Are you still playing BLU
Sometimes, for meme... , not even for fun.

-Just for the weekly masked carnival challenges?
Nope, it get dulled once you cleared them.
Reward are not even worth the time.

-Did you play it more than if it was a full job?
Maybe, if it was a full job, or you know what... give some real limited content to limited class(es).

-Did you enjoy your time playing BLU
For the early 3 days yes, after that it just a meme class.
Got all spells + all titles in just that amount of time, after that it felt empty.
Carnival reward is just meh, if they can give some exclusive reward for an exclusive class that would be more interesting.
(like you know what, shove every goodies in Eureka because ppl dont really wanna play it lol)

-Did you enjoy the content limited job offer, not necessarily BLU itself (overworld collection/special arenas with special conditions)?
Blu was fun for a few days, then you start to questions yourself, what can you do after unlock everything on the class.
IF other limited classes going to be like Blu, they better spend their time on something else.
PS. i also hate all Eurekas

-Would you rather adjustments for BLU to be more enjoyable as a limited job, or turned into a full one?
Please dont call Blu limited job, even the action skills are locked to a caster, (joke on you SE! how many times you ruined this system! and give Bloodbath back to tank pls!)
It feels like a disabled caster that cant enjoy the game with anyone in any contents.
I was a <perfect blue> 1st day and got 30+ spells on 1st day too, now i use the title just for giggle.

What im thinking are...
- Give Blue a truely exclusive things, roulettes, or quests for limited classes... Carnival is boring and the reward are dull, i want something that make me feels like it worth/fun playing Blu in it, not sharing the old boring contents that no one do anymore.
(Ps. You cant even learn all the spells with just Blu, which already destroyed the point of limited class, its more like leeching for skills class)
- Make it a Full class.

-Are you looking forward to more limited jobs?
Not like Blu, not like diz.
