What Roles would you like for Samurai and Red Mage?

red mage on the other hand...
the things that really define a red mage are pretty much covered by every healer in the game
the only thing i could see working while keeping red mage aesthetic is some sort of melee/ranged hybrid
like a stance swap between a melee attacker/debuff/dot role and a long range with casting times and support buffs role

I actually imagine it to be like the Arcanist/Summoner, in that it has a revive and a light heal, but is otherwise a DPS or a DPS support class. Sure you can keep someone alive for a bit, and save the day if things start going to shit, but your job is to make things dead.

Of course, if they do do it as such, you can bet that there'll be arguments re: "It doesn't need to hit as hard, it has a combat revive, it is a support class."
