Rework Bluemage!

[Brightshadow]

I remember seeing the roadmap for Blu, and how yoshi was so proud about this horrible platter of crap.
That road map NEVER happened, it was supposed to by 5.0 lol

Blu is dead, pissed
And ranged caster was the WORST choice for blue mage.
Blus are physical, period. They always use swords

What purpose other than cosmetic would a sword provide to BLU. In most of the titles that had BLU they only used the sword for the first couple of spells then their swords began to gather dust. The exceptions were FFVIII, X, and XI and that was because in 8 and 10 Blue Magic was limit breaks and in 11 they had the skillchain gimmick. The sword was never a part of BLU identity, that belonged to RDM who is a mix of WAR,BLM, and WHM. BLU was always about learning fiend magic and using it against their foes. My theory on why they used physical weapons in some older FFs is because they needed to learn their first spells, so they had to deal decent damage somehow; however that's not the case in FF14 since we learn our first spell from a cutscene fight.

So I must agree with ReiMakoto on this point and say no to the sword.

Plus our pimp canes are so stylish I could have never thought of such a neat design for a weapon.
