blue mage and NG+

[ZoeS]

Is there a reason you can't replay the msq on blu up to 3.5?
feels like a missed opportunity

Required Class/Job: Any Disciple of War or Magic (excluding limited jobs)

It's probably because you cannot do the MSQ at all with BLU (as far as I now). Once they have the job quests in NG+, you might be able to redo BLU quests.

i really hope that changes, blu was promoted as a "solo" job, msqs are the biggest solo content in the game if you don't count dungeons and trials

They can possibly make the change in the future, but they would have to raise the level cap to the max for the expansion first and keep it up for subsequent expansions. Otherwise, there would be no point in forcing you to switch job because the next quest needs a higher level than BLU can be.

It could be a side effect of 'spaghetti code' issues with how blue mage's leveling works, rather than an active decision that "blue mage should not be allowed at do MSQ".

It can't just be about not wanting people to level that way, because it gets so much EXP from enemies compared to the slivers you get from quests.

Maybe the multiplier on battle EXP would apply to quests too?

Or does blue mage have a lower amount of EXP required per level to begin with?

I don't think it's because of their multiplied battle exp. Most likely the main reason is their lower level cap. What's the sense of giving an opportuinity to do MSQ with a job if you will never be able to catch up the latest story with it?

that's... a very fair point tbh, still wish it was otherwise since the NG+ itself is split into multiple parts

It wasn't promoted as a solo job, they just failed to clarify what they intended to do with it.

[Musashidon]

it wouldn't be much of a limited job if it wasn't heavily limited.

I dont know why people perpetuate that it wasnt promoted as a solo job, they literally had a big ass slide saying designed for solo play/ not suited for parties
