Blue MageFollow

I enjoyed it for what it was.

I haven't touched Blu... which isn't really said as a complaint. I had no interest in the job then or now.

But if rdm had been introduced as side content, I'd have been heartbroken. Yoshi-P has said lots of things about FFXIV over the years that never exactly panned out, and, to me, the concept of limited jobs is something that either needs LOTS of work, or probably should have been left on the cutting-room floor. I just don't see the point in playing a job that can't participate in the bulk of the newest content. While I hate slapping content with simplistic terms, blu just seems like an intricate minigame compared to all the other jobs.

I'd like the concept of limited jobs better if these jobs had their own form of endgame raiding... maybe something that gets away from Trinity-based playstyle, since these jobs could all be self-sufficient in numerous ways. Or, since limited jobs might seem to appeal to people who don't have the connections and time for hardcore raiding, perhaps this could be where hardcore four-person content comes into play.

Don't you think limited jobs would be easier to flesh out if FFXIV weren't so darn vertical?

As it stands, the big pitfall I see with future development is say if you eventually have like three limited jobs -- and then each of those requires its own dungeons and endgame -- then that's a ton of development time for something that's outside of the main area of gameplay.
