yes, a new mage-dps for the expansion would be nice.

but red mage was always a sword-fighter in the first place with additional magic.

and all the healers are mages too, wich means 5 out of 13 jobs are mages. dark knight and to some degree paladin and ninja are hybrids between physical fighters and mages. wich means 8 out of 13 jobs can use magic.

now the red mage...

yes, this game needs another pure magic dps. no, this game needs no more mages in the next time, but more pure physisal classes... hmm... xD
