Arc was the first White Mage we could get without it being tied to an event, and he was a true godsend. Before then, I think most teams did use White Mage if they couldn't get Aerith or Lenna, because in general the stats of your healer don't matter nearly as much as the rest of your team.

Arc was great because his default SB was MASS SHELL. So you could have him bring Protectga as an ability and you were fully covered.

I started a bit before ssbs were introduced and I used white mage for a while because of her medica. I think I stopped because she was made of paper. Mog was recommended because he was the tankiest healer and the best healing spell was the 4* curaja.

And yeah, Mog was great for like five minutes before he stopped getting useful SB's and Curaja stopped being good enough.

Weird that they don't mention glints, I assumed those would also be on the list as '5* stuff that isn't 99% outdated garbage'.

Anyway I'm ready for this, and then outside of like one pull in the fest maybe, whatever luckies we are getting, and a pull on the ridiculous Gau banner it's saving up for AASB town.

Make blue magic a hybrid school so Gilgamesh, Quina, and Kimahri won't suck at it. (Greg actually has rod access and a relatively decent magic stat iirc, not sure about the other two)

E: Actually, what characters would make sense as blue mages besides the obvious ones?

I: Maybe a Mobius character?
IV: I could see a case being made for Rubicante/Barbariccia/hypothetical playable versions of the other fiends
V: The main cast has enough skill bloat as is, Gilgamesh (and a playable Enkidu) would be enough
VI: If you're not restricted to just Strago, Gau and Relm both make compelling cases
VII: I think it'd be cool to make Red XIII a blue mage
XIII: Serah/Noel, because Pokemon
Tactics: There's definitely options here, but none of the current playables really fit
Beyond: Lann/Reynn, see XIII
VIII, IX, X: Quistis, Quina, and Kimahri have that poo poo on lock
II, III, XI, XII, XIV, XV, Type 0: ???

Quina has rod and staff access and most of their equipment has a splash of magic to help the BLK3 access they inexplicably have.

Kimahri sucking at Blue Magic would just be game-appropriate.

Well, Blue Magic was introduced in V so any justification they could come up with before that would just kind of be :shrug:

. Red XIII was very likely the ~~Enemy Skill~~ Blue Magic representative from the beginning for FF7, given that one of his SBs is Trine and he had the same "we don't know what the gently caress we're doing" problem that Quistis/Quina/Kimahri had. 12, 13, 15 and T0 don't really have BLU representation (though I could totally see your argument for giving it to Noel, who is equally confused) and they'd probably introduce BLU to FFT with Luso, if they added it there at all. (Marche has already gone the Doubleking Route, alas.) FF11 would probably just give you the BLU questgiver, and FF14 would likely either do the same when it comes out, or have a reveal in-game that one of the scions ~~that is still alive~~ is secretly a Badass Blue Mage. Probably Thancred.

Raubahn (XI) and Raubahn (XIV) (Oh come on he's getting added eventually) being entirely different people would be entertaining, although confusing for some no doubt.

Not convinced the XI one is prominent enough to warrant a slot over people like Lilith, Arciela and others.

Gau has a curiously high (for a character who literally only has Combat and Celerity) MAG score of 172 at 99. The usual "pure fighter" MAG score tops at roughly 149 MAG.

(Also, the Gogos would be decent choices if they did add the school, even if that would give VI three Blue Mages.)

Hopefully that's when we get our first spellblade (Alisaie) and samurai (Gosetsu and/or Hien) for the realm.

And I'm still holding out hope for a Warrior of Light (XIV) character.

I mean, that's no more busted than Gilgamesh's kit. Hell, it's basically on par with Cloud, given that Dragoon doesn't synergize too well with the rest of the skillsets.

In my mind, they'd have a special equipment slot for a job stone that would determine their skill set and stats.

Or just say gently caress it and give them omni 5* access like Tyro.

Black/White/Combat on Gogo (VI)

Black/White/Bard on Gogo (V).

It sort of sucks VI didn't even get any physical school with elemental damage, he sort of ends up really only useful as a mage or healer. He gets earth boosting gear in the next VI event, but his USB Brave Mode only builds off Combat or BLK anyways so he just ends up best as a mage, even if he gets Knight/Ninja/Heavy/Monk later.

Having a good earth mage to buddy up with Leo is nice, at least, and Sabin/Shadow have no problems off-elementing Earth if you need it. FF6 spent quite a bit of time being "the fire realm" since Terra and Locke got all the toys (and Sabin and Cyan existed too), so splashing into other elements is nice to have.

0 - Seven BSB

:confuoot:

I can at least finally field a full Type-0 team even if it's sorta bad (Ace SSB + Blink LMR, Nine SSB/BSB, Seven BSB, Cinque SSB, Deuce BSB). It's a weird team with double Medica, double debuffs and Nine who is either subpar Wind DPS or a Torment slot saver.

I was really hoping for any of the USBs or at least Sice BSB for some doom shenanigans, but at least Seven BSB comes on an ice+ armor - always nice to have extras.
