They should have 2 style of AF cos i found this

So it will be fun to have 2 style of pants for those who want with pants and those no pants to make more unique or maybe when you get the chest you and open it there option between the 2 style if you choose pants you cant have the other and if you choose no pants then you cant have the pants style

If we have viera and red mage i want that equipe and that emote :P

lollllllllllllllllllllllll

This looks really well done, I especially love the sidearm, I think it could give a shot in the arm to the Red Mage job's function in a party. =)

Needs pants so badly.

What's up with people asking for pants? ...

Well, for me, it's not that I find it offensive, but it just looks so...stupid.

A simple skirt at least would make the entire thing look much nicer. Everything else looks great, but then there's suddenly no pants/skirt to go with it.

Awesome Pic.

This one is pretty much the same as XI RDM.

It's a little risque, but we've all clearly seen worse. I'd prefer shorts to it ala FFXI so that looking sexy isn't the entire point of the outfit. I don't think you have to be gay or a feminist to not want characters looking like they're going to the beach during battle.

i know its FF11 its was wrote on the link :P i just took that picture say there is pants style red mage ...but me i prefer skirt or black undies lol but still should have choice when open the chest or box when find each AF pants or sexy panties so be different of other :P

Imagine that; female armor with minimal, revealing protection.

I hope we get RDM soon after the release of ARR. If it looks anything like that, I'll be happy

I hope Dev Team examines that artwork thoroughly, because it is simply badass.

Excellent work by the artist. Dev Team, let's see a Red Mage based on this please ;-;!

I kind of disagree with this. I'd like to see a RDM of the dev team's own design, not based off of fan work. However I would like it to look just as good, if not better, which I have every confidence will be the case.

That says "Magic Swordsman" not "Red Mage."

Red Mage is 赤魔術師. (lit. Red Magic User or Red Magic Technique User)

Magic Swordsman is 魔法剣士.

Nice artwork all the same.

Good to know! I'm all for a rune fencer as well =D

Even these pictures are something I would see Yoshida holding up in one of his Live letters or Gaming Events. I also think this artist is protecting himself by saying its XI artwork when it (could be) XIV just by looking at it.

From a past player's poll I remember players asking for more Hybrid Classes/jobs. So it wouldn't be a surprise if Red Mage shows up as Rune Fencer/Muskateer/Gun Mage.

That's the concept art for XI's version of RDM AF.

I +1'd you just for the sig >.>

back on topic, would love rdm (and so many more jobs)

I like, I'd have probably given her shorts over a thong, but definitely feels like a red mage. (Especially like the cape/cloak) I'm a little puzzled over why she has a gun though. (you sure she's supposed to be a rdm, and not a musketeer?)

She's supposed to be a Magic Swordsman.

Red Mage: 赤魔術師
Magic Swordsman: 魔法剣士

Yes, the artist labeled it as "Musketeer".

Romanda gunner. I'd need to find my kanji to know what that last kanji means. I know it's tai but don't know if its the one that means squad or squad leader/commander.

And males paladin pants are boxer-briefs.

If that's fan work, very nice translation of Akihiko Yoshida's style, though! I really like them.

These illustrations are a good example of the Musketeer (class) > Red Mage (job) path. :)

I suspect that is the path the devs will take with it.

The style is very Akihiko Yoshida inspired~ I like it.

I'm starting to wonder if they might actually do MSK > RDM. It seems a lot more popular than I thought it would be.

I'd be ok with that :D.

EDIT: Also, I would wear the hell out of those outfits. Some pants would be nice on the RDM concept, but otherwise it's gorgeous.

You'd probably have to require the job to equip a main hand and offhand weapon to work that way. Though I feel we are still confusing the precursor to the modern rifleman with a guy that wears a pimp hat and wields a rapier.

In Zant's case, I think she does mean for Musketeer (rifleman/pistols/whatever) to go to Red Mage though. Having a shooty redmage would be interesting, and if they go the path of enfeebles/buffs like in XI, a shooty redmage would be similar to FFTA2's Cannoneer class.

I'd be perfectly with magic bullets myself.

All I know is that design is amazing and I seem to have wet myself as a result.

I think it's more Fencer than RDM. RDM is most likely the last job they will add, it's so unimportant compared to: Summoner, Musketeer, Thief, or Ranger.

It's kinda cool how fanmade artwork of this caliber can not only garner wide approval, but spur discussion and speculation, haha. I think the artist would be flattered.

As others have pointed out, the kanji reads "mahou kenshi" a job which has appeared in Final Fantasy titles over the years, known in English as "Mystic Knight," "Spellblade," "Spell Fencer," and commonly translated as "Magic Swordsman." Mystic Knights have the ability to imbue their weapons with magical properties. The artist/designer has foregone naming the design "akamadoushi" (Red Mage); however, the resemblance to an archetypical FF Red Mage is apparent (medium, red armor; feather-tipped hat; one-handed sword).

Of note, in one of his responses, Yoshida has stated that currently the Monk job plays too much like "mahou kenshi" so they decided to overhaul its play style.

Um.. A Musketeer is a French Soldier who is perficient with Rapiers and Flintlock Pistols..

Do you realise you used the word proficient (sp?) in the same sentence as "French soldier"?
