Yes. This however is not only why I call them that. It is because of what Geomancy is in real life. The practice of divination by the earth. Feng Shui. These are all elements fully established by FFXIV’s lore.

When Geomancer is mentioned to an FF fan, they usually think of FF3 or 5 where Weather and Terrain produces random effects. But that is not what a detailed Geomancer would look like in FFXIV- it would be a compass mage.
