2nd Job Predictions

[Kuwagami]

In Final Fantasy 1 the Red Mage becomes the Red Wizard and could use all weapons. Even as a Red Mage he could use swords and daggers. Do you have examples of red mages not using swords at all?

just quoting her :
"RDM isn't iconic to using swords, it's just one of the type of weapons it was capable of wielding"
Never said that RDM can't use swords. Olus that was right, RDM isn't iconic to using swords. When they're locked into specific weapon types, it's either rapier or staves/rods, with a very few exception (thinking of excalibur in FFXII)

While I see that part I see no hard time creating a new DPS job out of Bard that works in a different way. What I have a fun time seeing though is SE making a healer out of BLM Blizzhealer will be best healer Make it happen SE!

That's because bard is a support ._.
When SE finally release the support role as a distinctive branch, I think bard will be seriously nerfed to become more an utility job than what we have now. And we may see ranger to fill the dps role ^^
