Rework Bluemage!

[Beki_Bayaqad]

Lets hope a curveball will be thrown.

A Blue Mage Reborn!
Gets an actual Weapon with stats
Gets actual learn rates on spells and possible some gear to boost that (like they had in 11)
Gets an actual Party role

Just rebuild from the ground. Scrap everything about the current job, as much as some people invested days into it so far, i know personally i'd be ok starting at level 1 with an Actual usable job.

I know my go to is "make it like 11" but seriously, Blu in 11 was designed really well, probably the most balanced it was in any FF game.

And before anyone says, "this is a different game" almost all of the ideas for this game were drawn from other games. They already proved that Blu in its current form Physically works in the game, now just rework it to fully fit in the game.

They keep distracting us by adding "new" jobs, which mimic existing jobs, they had a Great opportunity to make a unique job with Blu, and they just botched it.

We all know they were man enough to Admit they screwed up with 1.0 and we all admire the changes they made with ARR. This would be no different.

I'm quoting you, but all I am going to say about this post is that you are a blithering idiot.

Well we finally got him to speak out about blue mage. But fluffy words removed, he basically said I'm not going to take peoples criticism, not in till we add more content for it. Oh but don't worry we'll be adding in some stuff that's "Hardcore" for the blue mage. 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.

I'm sorry that it wasn't that helpful, it's just when I see someone go "HUR DUR HUR JUST REBUILD THE CLASS FROM THE GROUND UP, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES, MANPOWER OR TIME RIGHT NOW OR IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE. Just makes me want to slap them till they understand just how stupid it is to say that.But, if I must...

Then scrap it, work on it until it's an actual finished product - however long that takes - THEN introduce it to the game.

You know... Like every single other thing they put into the game?

They don't add in new dungeons that only have the first room unlocked with promises of "More content and "Hardcore Bosses" to be added at a later date"

They don't add in MSQ when it's just text boxes filled with Japanese with promises of "More translation and "Unique cutscenes" to be added at a later date"

Why should they implement a half-baked and unfinished BLU with promises of "More spells and "Hardcore content" to be added at a later date"?

SE choose to not utilize beta test servers to get player feedback of things in development. They should not use live servers in lieu of them.

Leaving the "limited job" apologists aside, what Yoshida said can be interpreted in different ways.

On one hand they're subtly admitting that limited jobs are bogus, and they know the community reception was bad but they still want to "wait and see" whether they can get away with it, before they officially declare the experiment to be the madness that it is.
The reason why is because of his previous interview on this issue, while still being quite vague, the tone was more final on the "limited jobs" staying, even though he said "as of now". Compare the two and see how this actually sounds way more of an open ending for BLU, since Yoshida seems to have deliberately left the door open for potential changes, by yet again sounding vague and not ruling out that a "change" could very well mean a rework of BLU.
To me, it seems like this is just the beginning of backpedaling.

The other is as you, and others, have said that Yoshida just completely shut down any confrontation when it comes to BLU.

Maybe for 6.0? Who knows.
