pedromoreira6218: Bro ain't no way it took them this long to release this only to level cap it at 50

GreyC_: Imagine waiting 3-4 years for the Beastmaster to be able to enter Heavensward dungeons.

LuminateTheWorld: I had to look it up.. the last time Blu got any updates period was back in july of 2023.... Imagine playing a class or enjoying a class that gets updates every 4 or more years Holy hell I'd quit faster then yoshi can say look forward to it.

fireblac: I wish they put the time and effort into figuring out how to let us keep and balance our higher level skill kits when synced to lower level content.

akridx5712: I can't wait to do more ARR content again in 2026! Wooo!!! (Throws chair out window)

Kujan-ASMR: I understand tehy wanna do single player content, but they need to fix multiplayer first

Veechii: The Arthars crashout when BLU mage got revealed still lives rent free in my mind. "Limited is the new word for shit, if they're shit, just call them limited" :')

Zebraoracle: Blue Mage gets no content in the expansion based on the continent where BLUE MAGIC ORIGINATED, make it make sense.

jebus56162: I don't understand why you would put resources towards such a limited class, that's just baffling

lazlogo7160: If only he spent half this energy growing hair.

hallo-mt5tx: feels like they are spread way too thin

the expansion was marketed with beastmaster and its almost 2 years later now and still not released, its just absurd

bananagher7555: Literally in the Blue Mage homeland

"Sorry, we cant give a blue mage update because we devoted the entire one person we had working on BLU content to beastmaster.

We're a small indie company, please understand and give us money on the next mogstation outfit"

awworrell: The best part of all of this is now we can look forward to them jumping back and forth between BLU and BST in different expansions, because they are a resource-strapped, small indie company. With resource content, it's impossible they somehow find the resources to update two limited jobs per expansion, especially with how little BLU has got since its release. With BST now released, maybe in the next decade it might get to where we are today, but they likely stretched it out to where it's going to be 20 years before it gets to level 100 as they update it every other expansion, let alone the subsequent expansions coming.

magemongoloid6685: Maaaan. I wanted to tame a troll. Looks like that's gonna be another 10 years

methalor8915: My issue with Beastmaster, as someone who only really played dawntrail because I enjoy the gimmicky "do it all" kind of jobs as a downtime filler for WoW draught, is the fact that they announced BM as an Expansion feature BEFORE THE GAME RELEASED.. it was in the damn trailers for DT and we don't see it until the expac is pretty much over?

It's just absurdly stupid that they drag players on for so long, just like the housing updates where it was always "more news next time" followed by 3 live letters of nothing until the other day.

This whole expac has been a massive negative to me, the content is good but theres just fuck all to say its a good expansion.

czekskii: I'd still play XIV if blue mage was an actual thing. Praying WoW adds something similar.

Zelda_Uzikua: I'm glad they didn't go the Whip route for Beastmaster. I want a cool weapon like a whip to not be wasted on a dogshit limited job.

TaniaRavenYT: Blue Mage should be reworked into a regular job. Limited jobs should be abolished

ehko9989: I'm so glad ressources were spent on making every dungeon doable with NPCs so that new players don't have to suffer long queues. Because now I can play newer content instead...oh wait, you're telling me I have to do ARR content again ?! Thankfully, I can enjoy level-relevent roulettes afterwards...what ? You're telling me Sastacha and Crystal Tower are still the only thing on the menu ?!

mewmew9807: 3:33 Beastmaster's weapon in ff5 is a whip

mxt8844: great another hunting log

karasutsuki1733: Do we rly want to give the Balmung people whips? xD

y5k8vb: “Please enjoy A Realm Reborn with the updated graphics!”

FoxJayvids: And yet there are people that will defend these limited jobs like they're the best thing since sliced bread.

GriziDaWiz: Best part is, this was announced at fan fest for dawntrail.

And yet what? It is going to release 4 days after the US fanfest?

The delay between when they announce things and their content is what kills me; because you hear all this stuff is coming and you are amazed. But once you realise its for the next 2 and a half years it suddenly feels a bit less hype.

chrma_: Why the hell would they greenlight work on beast master knowing that it consumes the same resources that they already promised to blue mage and ANNOUNCED FOR BLUE MAGE BRO

David-gj6dc: This is the thing people need to realize. After so many years, it's clear they are not getting substantially more budget or staff to support the game despite the profitability. They (meaning SE suits) just refuse to reinvest the money into the game and instead choose to offset the loss after loss elsewhere in the company. So the opportunity cost of content is very high. Every hour a designer spends on content like this is an hour they could have spent making more midcore content, or a new chaotic, or even just supporting blu mage.
