Red Mage is the Debuffing Mage, nobody can dispute that. They also used to be versed in Cross-bows. But they have alwas been better with Swords.

I quite honestly don't recall any of that being Red Mage staple in any Final Fantasy other than XI. They weren't enfeeblers before it and I sure as hell don't recall cross-bows. Not even in XI.
