Being Square Enix’s first attempt at a so-called limited job, the class feels more like an afterthought than anything else. And Blue Mage is a for realsies job in FFXIV, kinda. You do customize yourself to suit the situation, kinda. You do learn abilities from enemies, kinda. Does FFXIV’s attempt at Blue Mage play like a Blue Mage of old? Kind of. Is it fun? Is it effective? Does it feel like its own job? Here we go! And in my ongoing quest to alienate just about everyone who follows me, I’ve decided to create a ranked list of all of the Final Fantasy XIV classes. I’ve been playing a lot of FFXIV lately, and unlike my first few years playing the game where I only played Dragoon, I’ve diversified quite a bit this time around. I’m sorry that I didn’t pick your favorite class as the best one ever. Allow me to start this off with an apology.
