    I would like them to bring back Demi, Ultima and Flare. I though Dark would have Demi since its a dark magic spell but they didn't.

    just watch an astrologian cast Gravity... Demi and Quartr cant really exist like they have, either its too op or being an early level attack magic that doesnt kill, youd never beat your level 5 quest. Flare is a BLM spell already and back in 2.0, by the end, it really was Flare. Now? not so much, caunt one shot/or 2 shot mobs instantly in dungeons, but its still very potent.

    as for the sharlayan lore sure it might fit, but astrologian follows sharlayan lore, and well if you did hildibrand you could see the more intricate uses of the allagan type of time magic being used in play.

    Now as far as dissuading through the obvious, what I care about is how much thought you put into it outside lore that could get retconned one way or another.

    Is your ideal time mage a healer tank or dps?
    what gimmicks or mechanovs do you see it having that doesnt exist in either role (ill give you an example: I could see time mages using a click pjasimg/blink on an extremely if not short cooldown. for dodging, or showing off)

    Uh, Flare already is in the game (it's a level 50 BLM spell). And Ultima is part of the storyline and accordingly will never be a player spell because said story has the spell completely lost to the aether
    (it was contained within the Heart of Sabik which powered the Ultima Weapon and which Lahabrea cast during the final battle in the Praetorium to take out the player's 'shield' (and destroyed the Praetorium in the process) - the spell was lost with along the Heart of Sabik when the Ultima Weapon explodes upon completing the battle.
    And before you pass judgement, it's not like SE hasn't done this before, FFVII after all had Holy and Meteor as story concepts which the player could never gain, and Ultima was never added to FFXI either.

    Demi I guess is always possible however, but probably unlikely at this point.
