based on Final Fantasy XI, Melee Mage could refer to either Red Mage, Geomancer, Blue Mage, or even arguably Dancer (though in terms of Final Fantasy XI, the Dancer was more of a TP Mage than a traditional Mage, which has no equivalent in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn seeing as how all melee classes use TP in the same way that XI's Dancer did). But I could see a Blue Mage or Geomancer being the Melee Mage Yoshi-P talked about just as easily as I can the Red Mage, though the Red Mage does appear to have more demand.
