Red Mage Abilities

[Silverquick]

Going by the two videos we have of their gameplay so far, here's my take on what SE means when they say red magic is a white and black magic hybrid. I suspect it just means that instead of being limited to the division of elements used like White Mages (only earth, air, water) and Black Mages (only fire, ice, lightning) are, Red Mages will have access to all element types. There's a bit of speculation here, but we do have enough visual evidence to at least partially support this theory:

In the lead up to the melee attack in both trailers they appear to be using some basic elemental casts.

That is pretty much exactly what I see too...

I was watching what appeared to be dual casting Aeros, Bliz, Lightning, Fire, Stone, (one almost looked like Gravity) combos, then once the guage filled he lept in to do a large zoro style melee attack.
