More Limited Jobs

[Alacran]

No thanks. The way Blue Mage was butchered still feels like wasted development time & resources. This is sub to play game, a limited job just feels like less content, bloated with time caps to stretch out content.

Please no. I despise the concept of limited jobs with a passion and it feels like a slap in the face to fans of said jobs. If you want those minigame situations like BLU just... add them onto a full job, cuz boy let me tell you does it feel worse not being able to do relevant content as BLU than having a special minigame (imo of course). I would straight up trade the Blue Carnival or whatever it's called just for BLU to be a real job.

God no more of this trash. You want jobs that are not part of the game go play a different game.

With current design philosophy any new "real" Jobs are just gonna end up being part of the 2 minute meme meta anyway.

People are mixed about Limited Jobs. Some love it and others hate it with equal measure. I personally don't care for BLU and won't use it however if OTHER people like it and are asking for it...if enough to justify it then why not?

Just cause I personally don't care for it doesn't mean it shouldn't be a thing.

Limited jobs do nothing but deny long standing Final Fantasy classics along with key MMORPG archtypes a place in the normal job roster. Blue Mage being turned into a pathetic minigame was enough of an insult. The last thing we need is for Beastmaster - otherwise known as a Hunter or Ranger in most other games where they can play with everyone else - to suffer the same fate.

It was a failed experiment that only sees brief bursts of activity at the end of a patch with the Moogle event. The last thing we need is for the game to set more money on fire by making more of them.

Full job blu would have be far more limiting and miserable. A truely failed comparison to a FF classic, you know damn well the skills would be obtained via lv and tuned to the boring 2min meta just to keep the "balance." Its one if the reasons folks like Blu, cause you dont deal with their cracked balance changes, so Im 100% on more jobs like Blu please!

Blue Mage as a full job wouldn't really be Blue Mage. As it would need to have a set selection of spells they learn as they level, no learning spells from enemies or anything, they would be just a minor variation of Black Mage.

The Limited Job system was more designed for them to just go silly with ideas that don't need to be balanced or anything. They can have classes that can completely exist outside of the "meta".
I do however think they should allow Blue Mage to reach the regular max level, but keep the restriction that they can't enter random groups with the Duty Finder and to stop people from cheesing Raids and Trials with BLUs make them not drop any loot if there are any BLUs in the party.

So they can throw it on the back burner and forget about it until they feel like doing something with it? No thanks, we have plenty of that already.

My argument is, a full-job can potentially have whatever mini-games the devs want, like BLU's mini-game, but limited jobs can't do what full jobs can until years after it's relevant. I understand the concept of "I'm happy someone can enjoy this", but I think limited jobs are objectively a bad idea and concept.

I mean, it's on Square to design it in such a way that it carries the soul of blue mage. Look at FF11, isn't blue mage there super versatile and what people wanted?

[Payadopa]

well the problem is that people will keep complaining about how limited it is and blame SE for wasting that development budget just to make the job limited

imho, i would love to see more jobs like blue mage

I'd be fine with it IF limited jobs had a toggle so I could play as a normal one and then switch back to mini game mode. That way we could tag on more stuff to existing jobs as well. BRD already has playing music. I'm sure other jobs could have thematically appropriate ones too.
