Quina gets the least relevance, but she does get character development. Almost entirely through side quests, but still.

As far as gameplay, Quina's the most fun blue mage out there. Nothing better than learning a monster's ability by fucking eating it.

Not going to discuss Quina's character development (or lack there of), but I thought that Strago (FF6) was the best blue mage due to...
-Only needing to SEE the ability used, by friend or foe alike. With Quina, you need to baby an enemy's HP down to <25% to get it to work, which I thought was annoying. Also just got the most use out of Strago's Lores compared to other Blue Mages in different games. Aqua Breath, Mighty Guard, Aero, White Wind, and Grand Delta all were useful at different parts of the game.
-Second place would probably go to FF7, if only because Beta is so spam-able and powerful relative to how earlier in the game you can get it.
