There was none. Players just made assumptions that BST was planned based on BST enemies/npcs in Bozja and comments made from the development team saying BST was their "favourite traditional FF Job" (I can't remember if it was Yoshi or Michael Christopher-Koji Fox who specifically said that), and put two and two together and came up with eight. Then when Reaper was hinted, players made further assumptions thinking that was BST.

If BST is ever planned, I don't see it coming any time soon to be honest - the BLU 'limited Job' experiment was generally regarded as a failure by most players and I think SE will just move onto a new concept as a result.

I figured lol. Internet gonna internet.

I dont consider Bluemage a failure in the slightest. I just think it needs to be expanded on and can even use some tweaks.

People just made that up and then they get annoyed/mad there was no info about it.
They do the same with almost everything.

It was brought up as an example when BLU was released and limited job system was explained years ago. I don't recall if it was from interview or made up by the community.

This. They said that if the limited job concept was well received then there would be more such as puppetmaster and "beast tamer". Most of the player base doesn't care one way or another about limited jobs.
Out of us that do care, it seems that those against the idea (which yes I'm apart of) outnumber those that want the system to be expanded.

I think what another person said is what will happen. Blu will get one "normal" update per expac or maybe a second update to add more spells/carnival fights.

how much fun would you even have as a limited job beastmaster they was fun in ff 11 as they was the true solo job

I have no faith on BST. It will either be a reskinned BLU, or a Fakepetmaster. We see what they doing with SMN and SCH. The others with a pet (MCH, DRK) are fire and forget for a short duration "pet". Guess we will see what Reaver has to offer, but I don't see that as having a real pet beside you either.

Yeah beastmaster and puppetmaster, were basically used as other possible limited jobs. Its not so much because they are OP in certain content its because they require more effort than regular job leveling, find and learn skills, find and train beasts, find and craft puppet parts.

I think limited jobs are fun side content, but short lived and kinda useless since you can't use it normally like other jobs.

However, ever since I started playing this game I've wanted a job where you can tame overworld mobs and use them in battle. I think it could be a lot of fun taming all of them and having a bestiary with lore on them.
