A level 50 Blue Mage has access to a limited number of things to learn spells, while a level 70 Blue Mage has access to far more enemies for learning abilities, and those later spells are powerful and versatile in ways that make the more experienced mage more deadly in content.īut a Beastmaster just learning new and more powerful spells by summoning more powerful pets… is basically just Blue Mage again. Based on the usual template, Beastmasters would either be using the handful of bestial enemies in that particular dungeon or they would be summoning pets that were outside of that dungeon… and neither one maps precisely to the sort of direct improvement you see in Blue Mage. In the case of the former, consider Tam-Tara Deepcroft specifically. And for various reasons, these do not map as smoothly as Blue Mage has on to its particular template of abilities. Beastmasters learn abilities based on what animals they have to control, and Puppetmasters have an ability set relying entirely on their automatons.
The thing about Beastmaster and Puppetmaster is that they do not learn abilities like that. And even when it was first announced, there were other potential jobs discussed, like Beastmaster and Puppetmaster – jobs that would be too difficult to make work within the context of a traditional FFXIV role but could definitely work when given what amounts to their own structure and content.īut let’s re-examine that slightly for a moment. Blue Mages learn spells by seeing enemies use them, and once learned they can be used indefinitely. Of course, Blue Mage also has the advantage that this is how it has always worked. Combine that with several powerful abilities, and Blue Mages can easily rip things to shreds in alarming amounts of time.

This means that even in synced duties, Blue Mage has a full set of abilities available to it despite the lower level. Unlike abilities for other jobs, every single ability that Blue Mage learns is officially learned at Level 1 because these abilities are not learned via leveling. Let’s start by examining Blue Mage and its ever-growing power. But Blue Mage is unusual insofar as it works in a way that will be difficult to replicate for other jobs… and it might be the best possible job for a limited concept as it currently stands. It can be assumed that this was never intended to be the only limited job because it seems a little odd to make an entire category of jobs that has literally one entry. No, today I want to talk about how Blue Mage might have kind of thrown a wrench into future plans for limited jobs.
But that’s not what we’re here for today, and so if you fall into that “still angry about it” crowd, you’re going to be disappointed as we’re not talking about that today.
The same people are going to be angry about that basically forever, and no amount of explaining the situation over and over using increasingly smaller words is going to help it. So are we done with people being mad about Blue Mage in Final Fantasy XIV yet? No, of course not that was a silly hope and it’s silly for asking.
