Include the FFTA Blue Mages, plz.
I prefer the Blue Mage from FFTA. He has an extended amount of spells that are very useful. But on the side of combat, though he has a sword, he is rendered comepletely useless. And Sadly.. He doesn't have any convenient offensive magic. >_>
But Quistis' Shockwave Pulsar was pretty awesome. 8D

I loved Quistis' Degenerator. haha.
Urmm...what is FFTA? Tactics Advanced?
I found Quistis' Blue Mage abilities to be 10x better than Kimahri's.

Quina falls in there too, FYI...
EDIT: Also Gau, I guess
But I'm not really sure. I think Blue Mages are one of the best job classes in the FF world but they're always way too weak. No one is a strong blue mage, as they should be. It's such an untapped source of pure freaking awesome... and it shouldn't be. I honestly don't know who I'd go with because all of them are really my least favorite characters given the game their in... and FFX-2 just sucks all around. :/

What can I say, this is my worst colur mage. I love white mages and think blue magic is pointless.

Then you don't appreciate the value of magic itself. Blue magic is far from pointless.
Quina is my favourite. With Quistis, you have to meet certain requirements to use her magic. With Kimahri, again, you need to meet certain requirements to use his magic. As for the X-2 options, I thought they were pretty good. The Gun Mage was one of my favourite dresspheres.
Quina ftw though. Cheap MP costs, huge spell-variety, and pretty decent power/effects for whatever spell was used. Quina is by far the most tactically useful, in my opinion.

I just find you get more from your MP when you use other kinds of magic.

I will have to say Quina, her blue magic was very useful at times, especially Limit Glove, and also as a character, she provided some charming and funny moments in the game. Also the way she acquired her blue magic was cool, eating enemies when they were weak, her trance sucked though, i didn't really like Quistis, she didn't have any real characteristics of a blue mage, (if there are any?) she was just another character, except she could do a bit of blue magic.....

Couldnt have said it better myself, dude. I'd say VII did the best job with blue magic. Everyone could be a blue mage with that Enemy Skill materia, and the skills you learned actually kicked ass! Big Guard, White Wing, and Magic Hammer were lifesavers, Matra Magic was really helpful early on, and then Beta, Trine, Aqualung, Magic Breath, Shadowflare, and Pandora's Box just plain owned.
Quina fails as a blue mage. Mighty Guard is absolute crap, it lasts about 2 turns then dissipates and it costs so much MP. The only useful enemy skill Quina could learn was Earth Shake.
10 kickass skills with cheap MP costs >>> 1 kickass skill with decent MP cost |

If Gau counts I'll choose him. If you get the right skills he's awesome. At some points, he was my most powerful character in the game.
