RED MAGE VS TIME MAGE

[Kirol]

Red mage? Feh, it's out of date. 25 years old now. I want to see something new to the series, and I felt the class system was a step in the right direction for that. Not just copy-pasta 25 year old Job frames and stick a new story onto it, and I definitely do not want to see a copy-pasta of XI.
As I always say, XI and XIV are two different games and should be treated as such.
Red mage in XI had as much charisma as using a rabid Badger for a pillow.
Melee mage class with support abilities turned into Haste spam.
Don't get me wrong, if it remains a Buff/DD class like BRD, then I'm for it. But, I get a feeling that won't end up being the case.
Hence, my vote goes for Time lord. I mean uh. Time mage.

What's wrong with using them as pillows?
The problem with introducing RDM's melee aspect is there's already a sword user in FF14 and atleast i have the impression Yoshi-P doesn't want to add a job that can equip all weapons or a weapon that can be used by more than one job ...so what would you give RDM? Rapier is a skinny sword so yeah and before you say BLM/WHM use staff only BLM uses staff WHM's is called Cane >_>
