RED MAGE VS TIME MAGE

[Syrokko]

i say neither just to p*ss these red mage zealots off that keep making these retarded threads

LOL.

But, to be fair, I don't think the OP is a "Red Mage zealot" (nice name, btw).
He's just interested in what the community has to say about the recent rivalry that the community has managed to forge for the two jobs in question.

What the hell is this crap?

Time Mage and Red Mage don't even occupy the same role in a party, and likely won't even come close to sharing the same spells and abilities.

"Hey gaiz! Let's compare White Mage and Paladin!"

I'd rather see a poll to people who never played FFXI just random gamers and ask them what they would like to see, a redundant mage who dabbles in a lil bit of everything or a master of time and space.

Please enlighten me why playing XI matters in any way. No matter what answer you give, you're going to look like a fool.

I would really like to see FXIVs version of a Red Mage, some part of that is in hope it is not misrepresented like FFXIs version was...

I doubt we would see a FFXI RDM again (as cool as it was seen Avesta solo gods) Yoshi-P is all old school so we would get an early games RDM style

[indira]

i rather see a new mages then the same exact jobs from FFXI again they should come later and add other FF jobs.
i rather see Timemage then Redmage. time mage would fit into the plot perfect. rdm should wait for an expansion.

I think Time Mage is really not needed since the "time spells" like stop and haste can be passed to the whm/blm jobs like in the other games. so to be honest Time died out when the need for a special mage was casted out when other jobs learned they too can do the spells >.>

[Isaveron]

Time Mage would add something this game currently lacks.

[ZephyrFox]

Time Mage! Complete with Flavor Flav clock on the AF. You know you want it don't lie.

Oh uh huh, someone have soggy cereal this morning? My point was that RDM in XI was a conglomerate of spells taken from other possible jobs, Time Mage and Mystic Knight being the main two, and Red mage was pretty OP in XI. These were all added after it's launch (Refresh wasn't a spell RDM had at launch) to make RDM more unique and desirable in a party (Though they never nailed down the mechanics to have it melee in a party properly). Now what I'm getting at is that we should ask random gamers who haven't play XI and ask them which job is more iconic.

But no that's probably not good enough to enlighten you, because after all any answer I give is going to make me look like a fool (Dramatic much son? Also hi I'm from Asura, I know we're drama queens long live Asura)
