What you have in Blue Mage is the illusion of choice, just like in WoW, where they give you a lot of options but at the end of the day there is one better way to optimize your character.

And yes, a Blue Mage regular job would have been used exponentially used more by the general playerbase because Blue Mage -the minigame- is built off of fomo. You have 2 weeks to learn the latest spells. After that? Good luck. Everyone else will have already moved on. Then you can only use them in carnival fights (which they are running out of ideas for) or moogle events. To get rewards a huge chunk of people already own.

Gacha limited time events last longer than Blue Mage updates. We do not need to shackle another job to a system that proves just how ephemeral it is time and time again.
I never played that game , WoW and I never will so I don't know what your talking about but anyways, blue has the options to choose what spells to bring, what stance it wants to do ( heal, tank, dps) it's much better than these boring homogenized jobs xiv has and these boring rotation

I swear xiv will give me carpal tunnel syndrome pressing the same boring rotations over and over and over again
