My idea (or rehash) of a new healer role: Chemist>Red Mage

There is a difference between being both a Physical and Magical based job, and being a Physical based job turning into a Magical Job.

Bards using bows isn't something completely new (Edward can use a bow). Thieves using two knives innately is barely a change from the FF lore, considering that there is no "Dual-Wielding" trait, thus they have two daggers. And All classes using one weapon type isn't that much of a change from previous FF's, most characters only use one weapon type in most FFs, most classes only really want to use one weapon type by the end, and in Tactics most Jobs can only use one weapon type.

Also "Throw" is throwing offensive tems (shurikens) and Weapons, not potions. So no, this isn't the same as the "Throw" Skill.

You are suggesting something completely out of no where, and barely anyone would enjoy this rendition of a "Red Mage". Red Mages are Sword-Mages that use Black and White Magic. They always do this. Always. They aren't going to change that.
