All eyes were on Final Fantasy XIV‘s upcoming expansion, Shadowbringers, when it was revealed at the 2018 fanfest. However, we still have to finish the Stormblood story before looking at the next chapter in the Warrior of Light’s journey. The 4.5 update, known as “A Requiem for Heroes,” comes with a host of new features, but the most exciting addition is no doubt the introduction of the Blue Mage job class. Square Enix has gone into more detail on what exactly makes the Blue Mage tick.
Check out the Blue Mage in action here:

As always, the Blue Mages are copycats, as they focuses on stealing abilities from monsters to use as their own. These new skills will surely change how you play the game and look to be a fun change of pace. It is also a unique class in that it is designed for solo players. The Blue Mage isn’t connected to any of the existing jobs and, when the job becomes available, it will have a level cap of 50. That’s far below the current cap of 70, but that will be increased in future updates. There will also be some Blue Mage-specific content known as “The Masked Carnivale.” This will be available after reaching the level cap, meaning players will have to master the ways of the mage to be successful.
