Considering the drastic change in what we thought would be Arcantist would be like (based on weapon, location, npc clues and the attire of what is in game atm) I also would not be judging the Musketeers on what is now; a set of obsolete clues.

Heh, watch them slap rapiers on Musketeer and make it a melee DoM class that becomes RDM.(Coulda just been Fencer!)
RDM is not really a popular class no main char from FF is like i'm a bad ass RDM. You have smn's, thf, wars,pld , drk,drg , whm nin, mnks, onion knights and other classes who was center of the stage but never a rdm That's the main reason why i think the votes for it was so low.
You're right that we've never had a Red Mage protagonist in an FF game. The closest we ever got was Terra, though she's classified as a Magitek Knight along with Celes. RDM seems for fit for a background cast type of character. It just has never lended itself to the leadership role, and is not as forthcoming as a knight or something along those lines.
That said, I think what may have kept people from voting for RDM was the fact that it was mentioned as a front line enfeebler. If it had been presented as a hybrid class or combat caster people may have been a little more receptive. While it had its uses, XI's RDM is something I feel a good number of people don't want to see again.
