Patch 4.5, titled A Requiem for Heroes, is slated to arrive in two parts: the first in early January 2019 and the second in late March 2019. In addition to a multitude of new content, the update will add the highly anticipated blue mage job, which was met with cheers and applause when it was announced during this year’s FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival 2018 in Las Vegas.
Producer and director Naoki Yoshida announced that the Blue Mage job will offer players a unique solo gameplay experience. There will also be exclusive job content for blue mages when patch 4.5 rolls around. "The Masked Carnivale" will then provide even more challenges to players once they reach the level 50 cap.
