Final Fantasy Explorers was updated in Japan yesterday. Square Enix brought out a new job, boss, and more.

In the job department, Blue Mage has been added to Final Fantasy Explorers. It has a “learning” skill to acquire moves from enemies and the “beacon of counter attack” to increase strength. Blue Mages can initially use short swords or staves.

There’s also a great variety of blue magic spells. These include things like goblin punch, where power depends on physical strength (and the move is more powerful if a short sword is equipped). Other spells include fire breath, magnetic storm, leaf cutter, and Aeroga. There are quite a number of additional spells, too.
