Can Red Mage start at level 30?

[Radacci]

Some people enjoy leveling and learning their jobs can we start at level 30. Instead of 50 it makes more sense since jobs (including heavenward jobs) start at 30.

you can start at lv1...in PotD, problem solved.

It's not the same, and as others have said it'll help build RDM story. Not everyone likes POTD.

Honestly people nowadays are too lazy they don't even want to level jobs. It doesn't make sense to be a trained/student RDM if your basically a high level. And this change would help new players that do not want to use leveling potions or that want to experience lower level dungeons.

I'm pretty sure they can build a lot of story in the 20 levels between 50-70, like they did with nin, drk, ast, mch. Also ARR and HW questlines aren't really related, so having 5 extra quests, wouldn't really do much. I wouldn't be opposed to it if it started at 30, and having lots of extra job quests, but...that's a lot of extra content, that takes lots of time, and costs. Most ppl don't like lower lv content, which is why they are possibly adding lv jump potions, and increasing starting levels of new jobs; remember they key concept of FFXIV is: catch up easily; starting at lv1 would annoy most ppl, even 30 is borderline, cause you still don't have any actual job skills then. So you start at 50, and it actually feels like you actually are *insert job* instead of *insert class* with a job stone that doesn't do anything yet.
ast/drk/mch didn't even get prev relics, and rdm/sam wont get ARR or HW relics either, it's just outdated content; they want to focus on Stormblood content, not lv 30 content.
So, PotD or instances will be your only option, if you want to learn your job, step by step, from lv1

I'd like to show my support for starting at level 30!

Making it start at 50 is like playing some of the content for me... whats the point in that!? If people want to skip, then make them pay for it and let those of us who actually want to play the game, play.

The issue is that the level boost potions aren't going to be released with Stormblood. If they were, I'd honestly have no problem with this approach, but from what I understand the devs a.) aren't planning on releasing them until after Stormblood is out, and b.) if they're like the Chinese ones, you can't use them on the most current jobs anyway, which is IMO asinine.

Stormblood comes with live-in powerlevelers? You heard it here first. :u

If I remember correct the minute you spoke with the NPC you were lvl 30 so how can they start at lvl 1 in POTD if there was never a level 1 for that job?

The same way you can run dungeons under level 30...

It isn't necessarily laziness. Plenty of people simply find level grinding extremely boring. Personally, I want to explore Stormblood as a Red Mage, not have to go back and grind old dungeons for 30 levels just to get it up to par.
