Because I'm excited about Red Mage and how they somehow managed to make an amazing job when everyone said that it was impossible to get the job's identity right in the mechanics of FFXIV.

There was another job you wouldn't think would be a tank they made into a tank. I seem to recall its key mechanic being sacrificing HP to power attacks...but they changed it up so it would fit the tank role in XIV, using MP (Blood Gauge later) instead of HP. If they decide to make Blue Mage a tank I'm all for it. If not then we'll see what else they come up with.
