I don't think SE consider D4 RDM in the mechanics in this patch

All of this sounds pretty positive?

As in, you can't just blindly press your melee combo. That's good. Now let's apply this design to the other 20+ jobs, because hell I'm tired of just doing everything as the button lights up...

I hate to say it but i think Red Mage needs a second Melee combo thats ranged based so that this stops being an issue

I was joking. This was satire. It was meant to mock the absolutely silly changes done to other jobs, such as removing the pets of Summoners and Scholars, making Black Mage playable instead of the base class you play before getting your Picto job stone, turning Bard into whatever this archer with a harp is meant to be instead of a Bard, etc.

You taking it serious makes it partially better satire, granted. But it's also worrying...
