The new Final Fantasy XIV Blue Mage “limited job” is designed for solo play

17/11/2018 At the Letter to the Producer special preview at Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest in Las Vegas, game director Naoki Yoshida unveiled the single-player focus of the new Blue Mage job.

When it comes to videogame keynotes, viewers will always be hoping for the “one more thing” announcement. These last-minute reveals are often the most exciting, the news that will ensure pandemonium in conference halls and Twitch streams. At the Final Fantasy XIV keynote at Fan Fest Las Vegas, fans were treated to two. The second of which is a brand new job: the Blue Mage. Just as things were wrapping up on the briefing that revealed the game’s third expansion, Shadowbringers, none other than the Square Enix CEO, Yosuka Matsuda delivered the news. Clad in an appropriately-coloured cloak, Matsuda lifted the lid on the new job with a teaser trailer showing off the new abilities and news that it, quite atypically, will be coming before the next expansion in patch 4.5. The Blue Mage allows players to don flamboyant costumes and masks as they deal ranged DPS magic damage with their staff. That means that you'll be using that type of gear and role actions. However, while this is the third mage job to come to FFXIV, the blue mage will be the first “limited job”.
