The Inevitable Implementation of Red Mage

[Kiote]

Well, I thank you all for putting my mind as easy. I don't data mine and I had not seen any discussion on this Fencer Class. I am well aware that Red Mage will be a Job not a Class, I was simply using the term Class as the standard name for a Combat Style in an MMO.

For the record Red Mage has been proficient with ranged attacks since the first Final Fantasy and they have also always had the debuffs along with the heals and nukes. The debuffs, however, were never restricted like heals and nukes were. My conclusions were not wild assumptions they were logical steps.

Funny, I can't find any evidence of that. There wasn't even a ranged weapon in the first FF game (they used swords btw), and everything else written about them points towards them always using a sword, specifically a rapier or epee type.

I think the first and only time outside of FFXI was FFIII where the RDM could use a bow... I have not looked at RDM through all the games yet and I never used a bow on my RDM in any FF game...

The cat is bemused =-.-=

At least one red mage was happy they could fire a bow.
