Final Fantasy 14's Yo-Kai Watch Event Is Being Dominated By Blue Mages
thegamer.comFinal Fantasy 14's Yo-Kai Watch event has returned for a second time, allowing players to pick up some unique weapons, mounts, and one of the world's ugliest dogs.

You can find several players struggling to deal with Blue Mages in the Final Fantasy 14 subreddit, for example.
