Healers Deserve a Male Mascot

[hydralus]

A Black Mage can safe their comrades with a flurry of spells and more likely than not the spells will be more visually interesting and not involve blood or dismemberments. A field of soldiers with disintegrated limbs would be too graphic for FFXIV's rating. For animation, all they could really do with a T rating is show characters in pain, get hit with a glow spell, and not be hurt anymore. It's not something that can be very dynamic in animation.

T-rating can show blood and more violence. Hell the Heavensward trailer has someone getting his freaking arm cut off. Besides, you don't even have to show their limbs for the cinematic. Just hide it with clever angles/armor and only show them growing back. Or you should have the WoL getting hit hard by enemy fire and healing themselves to reach someone who's been injured like a badass determined field medic. And I'm just a nobody sitting at a computer chair. Surely these professionals with dozens of years in the industry could manage.

Besides it wasn't even about the actual healing (even though it could and has worked. Just because WoW hasn't done it doesn't mean it can't be done). Just a healing class. Alphinaud is in the very same cinematic as a healing job and it's plenty exciting. So there's really nothing stopping them.
