Could Time Mage have worked in FFXI?

[Tanama]

I am bored at the moment and have been thinking about this lately. Could Time Mage have worked in FFXI?



Time Magic has been a staple in the Final Fantasy series for pretty much ever. As stated in the above image Time Mages grant advantages to their allies, filling the roles of buffing, debuffing and damage much like RDM, SMN and SCH. On FFXI, Time magic is spread across multiple mage jobs.

Haste
Slow, Slow II
Bind / Immobolize
Teleport and Warp spells
Silence and Mute
Gravity, Gravity II
Comet and Meteor



Other Time Magic spells not available to jobs in FFXI include:

Stop
Demi
Old
Hastega
Slowga
Graviga
Reflect
Float
Quick



When Wings of the Goddess was announced and was revealed to take place in the past, I immediately thought Time Mage was going to be added. But we know how that turned out.

Anyway, do you think Time Mage would work in FFXI? I can imagine some people's reasons being that it would discredit Red Mage and that all Time spells are already distributed among other jobs. But if Time Mage was to be implemented, do you see it having a pivotal role inside of parties and alliances?



This is an idea of how I think the Time Mage spell list would look like.
