Red Mage idea

[Yves]

First off, don't worry about "Grip" ... you've confusing my idea with a mechanic from previous FF games.

I only meant fencers to use small one handed swords (in two hands) for aesthetic reasons. They won't use shields because the focus is to deal damage and it gives RDM something new to start from.

The reason those swords are small is so they can use them with one hand, thus enabling quicker, nimbler fencing. Using two hands for a one-handed weapon is actually counter-productive. As far as being aesthetic, I guess that's cool - if you like watching the Special Olympics.
