Yoshi, it doesn't matter how much content you add to this minigame, people are always going to complain about it, becuase they can't do the main content that they want to do. I swear him and his team are *For lack of a better word* fucking up now, first on there not going to add male Verra, or female Ronso. Then Dancer being a ranged DPS and not giving a new healer. Now telling everyone to shut up about blue mage. I hope yoshi gets his act together becuase he's messing up, and I hope he knows that in an mmo you need to listen to your fans/players from time to time or else your game gets shut down from lack of subs.
while i personally don't care about the dancer issue or the new race issue, i feel that the statement regarding bluemage is troubling. we want to be able to play the same content with our blue mages as the other jobs. and before anyone gets started, let me point out that 1) besides ffxi no other main series ff game with a blue mage had spell learning locked behind rng. the only criteria for learning spells was that the enemy used the spell, your blue mage survived the spell, and you won the encounter. the only outliers were ffviii where spell learning was item based, ffix where you had to eat the enemy, and ffx where you had to use lancet. 2) blue mages were never gated from content in other ff titles, not even ffxi. because the expansions in ffxi were mostly self contained story wise, as long as you could unlock blue mage you could do any other piece of content in the game as BLU.
