NG+ as blue mage

[grinkdaboy]

why can't blue mage do NG+?

[TheMightyMollusk]

If they couldn't do it the first time through, why would you expect they could do it the second time?

[Unholychinchilla]

NG+ simply re-enables the same quests but with rewards turned off. It'd likely be an extra headache to have it alter the quest requirements for only some quests (Since there are job/class quests in there too).

[DragonFlyy]

The job/class quests are separate, only MSQ is in the MSQ NG+.

[Unholychinchilla]

Yes but the feature works the same way regardless of which quests you are activating was my point.

Hmmm... I'm curious, while I know it's not the same but have you considered picking up and turning in the classes as one of the normal classes, but then actually doing the quests as a Blue Mage?

If you're interested in getting screenshots of your character in cutscenes as a Blue Mage, you might be able to sort-of-cheese-it by picking a caster class (like BLM or RDM) and using a similar glamour.

There's not an obvious gameplay reason for it, so I would assume it's a back-end system thing that would be pretty resource-intensive to change. It is disappointing though.
