    White Mage also does more than just heal stuff. They use holy magic. Mystic's spells are aligned to astral elements.
    A green mage would be super cool actually. It would be some uniqueness to FFXIV; something different from XI. Perhaps we should be looking to FFTA for more job ideas...

    I agree on drawing on more FF titles for ideas for jobs, but the implementation of the classic jobs is also important.

    Question to everyone here: how do you think the quests for these jobs pan out? I personally want something a little more involved with the actual job itself rather than a tale about some guy or girl who happens to be of that job. or maybe a happy medium where some of the job quests involve one, while other jobs involve alternative story styles.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    Not sure, but I would love for them to be involved! Fights, or some kinda puzzle... I just don't want them to be:

    Go run to person 'A' in Ul'dah
    Ok go run to person 'B' in Grid
    Ok go back to Ul'dah and person 'A'
    Congrats you've open up job: Time Waster!

    XD


    Anyway I remember in 11 some were fun to open, some took a lot of time (what was it Paladin that had like 3 different mission that you had to do) but were fun, and some were so easy.... (Ranger where you just had to go watch a tiger die? yeah remember that one??) but I liked how all of them did tie the point of the job into it some how.

    I actually enjoyed the stories for opening up jobs in 11 so as long as they take from that and improve it I'll be happy.
