Maybe the idea is to slowly build BLU up over the course of Shadowbringers? For the majority it's going to be a side activity (they mention the solo duties) and alt, after awhile it will be a full class?

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
You have to do the 'New Game +' and replay the entire MSQ to unlock another 10 levels on BLU

Repeat until you get it to max levels

Add 5 levels during minor patches to generate resubs lol

That's right! I'm the counting sheep, Meeko. And I'm a proper sheep youkai!

Everything seems super hype right now.

I'd advise extreme caution about being upset and jumping to conclusions right now, we're literally getting a entire dev note clarifying blue mage's situation tomorrow, and one day isnt long to wait.

Of course if it turns out blue mage is just a side gimmick then I'll probably be one of the first ones super upset.

You have to finish Eureka Pyros to unlock BLU.

BLU exclusively uses elemental levels so you have to level up within Eureka.

What's interesting to me is that they said that BLU isn't one of the 3 Shadowbringer jobs, which means there's another one out there that didn't get leaked at all? Or did I misunderstand that.

They said "multiple" Jobs for Shadowbringer, IIRC.

this seems to be the case. Unless they're only gonna do 2, but I can't imagine they'd do 2 dps again, or put in only a tank or a healer.

The most recent new thing is Eureka so if that is anything to go by we are probably underestimating how bad BLU will be

It would be amazing if SB (well poo poo) gave us 3 new jobs but I imagine they just shifted BLU up ahead for the teaser/fanfest material. It also makes the level 50 cap make even more sense. It'd be a pain to balance a new job for endgame, and capping it at 50 may be a case of them literally not having more content ready.

My (completely irrational) train of thought is that if they were just releasing 2 classes, they would have said 2 instead of "multiple." But two new ones would be fine with me!

Most likely dont want to create an endgame rotation for 70 and then retool it for 80 like immediately.

:agreed:

Lots of people are already drawing awful conclusions about what it means for BLU to be a "limited job" right now. Clearly they wanted to give everyone a playable preview of a new job and this was the best way for them to do it. There's no way they would do this and then go "yeah BLU is just a side-attraction joke class, enjoy!"

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
You guys jump to some weird rear end conclusions. Blue will be like any other job in terms of the content you can take it into, is most likely only going to be limited to 50 until the actual 5.0 release, and will just have it's own solo duties most likely to facilitate is learned ability gimmick.

Great fuckin keynote though. So much better than last fanfests stormblood announcement. Everything announced so far seems actually cool and relevant. Super happy they have something planned for crafters and gatherers. Also pleased no mention of eureka was made although that doesn't mean anything.

You know, I imagine this is actually it. They said they're overhauling the battle system for 5.0 and decluttering action bars, it wouldn't make sense to patch in a fully functional 4.0 job just before the patch that retools the 4.0 paradigm.

If that's the guy who came on stage then perhaps he is an actual blue mage and was tired of the lack of representation in the game.

Nah, not with the flash of light and the sound effect. I grinned like an idiot when he started quick-changing through all the old flagship jobs.
