So, what is the hold up on Beastmaster?

[Johners]

There's two MAJOR problems with adding Beastmaster.

1) Limited Jobs were a mistake and adding more just detracts from adding content you could play and enjoy as the normal classes. They'd remove Blue Mage or just rework it into a normal job if the community wouldn't hound them over it (and they should probably

2) The pet AI in this game is still trash and having a job that focuses on commanding beasts would play incredibly bad. Endwalker has already added systems like Island Sanctuary which clearly show where the technical limitations of XIV are, adding a job focused around AI pets would be so disastrously bad unless drastic improvements to the underlying technologies powering the game happened beforehand.

remove Blue Mage or just rework it into a normal job

Going to digress a bit from the main topic but
I don't see why they just can't give BLU a second Job Stone so that they can essentially make a version that people can actually play it without removing the m̶i̶s̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ Limited version. Give them a different weapon if need like duel tomahawk or something closer to the Wheleqee theme

Can do the same for BST if the desire to have a version with the aspects that, for some reason, would chuck it into the Limited Job status is so great and have both versions wield different weapons.

Of course the big caveat of doing such a thing would very likely be expansions only having one new job, something that I'm not entirely against since the team are struggling making new jobs while also juggling trying to rework multiple old ones. And neither are really guaranteed to hit the mark anyway.

I say no more limited jobs ever!! I hate that BLU is stuck behind that wall!!
