Following the release of Patch 4.5, FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online introduces a new and unique way to experience the world of Hydaelyn with today’s release of the Blue Mage job. The first limited job in FINAL FANTASY XIV Online is available to all players with a level 50 Disciple of War or Magic class/job and have completed the main scenario quest “The Ultimate Weapon” for A Realm Reborn®.

The highly requested Blue Mage learns new actions through fighting monsters, mimicking these abilities in battle. The blue mage will initially have a maximum level 50 and can learn 49 unique monster abilities at release—both the level cap and number of abilities you can learn will increase in future updates.
