Samurai & Red Mage cross skills

[Morningstar1337]

Saying any job was strictly anything is really silly in most cases, given that we have, at most, one point of comparison (FFXI). There's no reason RDM HAS to be a support/debuff thing, and in fact there's precedence for it being a tanky thing, and also a very good, logical argument to be made for it (A healer is a class that uses protection magic, a DD is something that uses damaging magic, what do call something that does both, but neither to the max? A tank).

If that i the case, then Red Mage as a Tank would cross class from GLD and MRD, having its own version of certain THM skills since it is still a caster (Unless they merge it with Mystic Knight like I predict, or at least make all its spells instant-cast removng the need for both Swiftcase and Surecast). Alternately it will just use THM and GLD as the crossclass branches.
