Woah there Odon. Depends on what kind of bum. 8)

But yeah. BLU is the correct way. BUM is for, well, people who can't make correct acronyms.
 
Agreed, BLU it shall be! /stare

Ok, i cannot find the post on Alla, but someone explained why Blue Mage won't be called BLU and why it is actually an incorrect acronym. Something along the lines of proper use of acronyms do not end with a vowel and that SE adheres to this.

None of the "acronyms" in this game are correct accronyms =/ They're abreviations. It might be named BMG, who knows? Wait till it comes out and we'll see :P

Also note that the person who made that claim was later found wrong by other people.
 
BUM is understandable becaues all "Mage" jobs, Red Mage, White Mage, and Black Mage, have M as the last letter of their abbreviations (they aren't really acronyms), thus BUM following the same principle. BUT, if you notice that all job abbreviations use now vowels, only consonants to make the abbreviation "sound" more like the full job name, which makes BUM and BLU both questionable. However, since BL are shared by both Blue Mage and Black Mage, the only option SE would have if they were to follow the same train of thought would be BMG. This would make less sense because "mage" would be more represented in general than "blue", so they are then left with BUM, BLU, BUE, BEM.

Which one sounds the closest so Blue Mage? That's right: BLU.
 
But first, will it call Blue Mage, since is still in development, they may rename the job, so gonna wait and see

if they do, I like the word BUM lol
 
How about everyone just call it Blue Mage for now, and stop
assuming they know how its gonna be? >,>
