I said "Red Mage's weaponskills".

I also stated that Red Mage is just in an odd position as a job where they have a little bit of everything. The Red Mage is in a position where these discrepancies between convention and tooltip exist much more readily. The Melee, for example, are almost entirely melee, which is why "Ranged Attack" is given a descriptor, yet this is not the case for the Ranged Jobs.

That sets the case that tags like "Ranged", "Jumping", "Rushes" and other common place descriptors are primarily there to differentiate them from the standard actions of their kit. A "Ranged" job doesn't need the "Ranged" tag on its tooltip because by the nature of the job, its "attacks" are ranged by default. I suspect any theoretical action they received with a range of 3y would likely get the descriptor "Melee" or "Point Blank" or something similar put upon it.

The long and the short of it is that cleaner tooltips can only be positive for the game moving forward. They will not negatively impact you.
