So..Lets talk jobs?

Don't forget what RDM's signature skills are. The option to use not only white magic, but black magic too, and equip heavier armor with offensive weapons+ shields. Because of this, RDM doesn't master in any one specific skill, but instead has the viability of using all said skills.

The problem is that doesn't mesh well when they're using the jobs as specializations for the current weapon classes. Hence why I'm more likely to lean towards melee mage being emphasized this time around rather than risk the generalist design and end up shackled to the back row again in the content that matters. Plenty of FF ideas have been adapted to the MMO context. It's about time RDM gets the same treatment, really.

As I see it, RDM is the kind of character that in a fighting game would combo you and then throw you to the other edge of the screen not through a fancy throw or a knockback attack, but instead by releasing magic on you at point-blank range.
