FFXIV: Limited Job and why it doesn't work

[TheMightyMollusk]

We also had a global pandemic that threw a lot of plans out the window just to get the regular patches back into some semblance of schedule. I could see a limited job being a casualty of that and put on a shelf until they have time to get back to it, just like the second Ultimate getting kicked back to 6.1. So, given the extraordinary circumstances of the past year, I wouldn't write the entire concept off just because it doesn't get mentioned right away.

Yeah at this point I only can see BLU being a victim of this... getting small portion for everything... well I just pray somehow some dev.team gonna watch TS video and discuss about it with Yoshida.. I mean his concept kinda cool but prob could be better

People still complain about blu? The original iteration was terrible but they largely fixed it when the cap moved to 60 and this last round of spells was super cool. I actually get a lot of mileage out of blu now, use it all the time for catbook and other random overworld stuff.

What is catbook?

What is catbook?

That weekly “do the things” book thing from Khole.

[Brightamethyst]

What is catbook?

Wondrous Tails, I'm guessing.

Just my two cents:

While I generally enjoy Blu and the concept of limited jobs, I agree how it was done was very..lackluster.

It should have been completely solo-capable and not rely on any group instanced content. All abilities should have been open world or gained within the masked carnival itself (eg a fight against Garuda within the carnival). Or, alternatively from semi-open world stuff like Eureka.

I would also have removed xp gain entirely from the job, instead making its power/level entirely based on how much of the carnival one has cleared.

I approve of the job if only because we can do Blu-soccer

I just don't understand why we cant just have both
limited blue for what we have now and a normal blue just for regular content
like the irony of blue being this job that can do everything but its limited.

like stop adding instruments to bard and just make a real blue mage

THIS!! ... I really want say it to dev team like this since long time ago... like we can keep the current BLU while having the official BLU as main job too , while on the main job we can use the skill we collect as glamour skills or something else...

Wait till we get Mimic lol

I never liked the Blue Mage at all from any final fantasy and often never used those characters
