Red Mage: The one class that will be impossible to impliment

[Wildsprite]

Red Mages can be implemented. But unlike FFXI where they were a Jack of All Trades and a Master of Haste, FFXIV's strict Role system will not allow them to be the hybrid class they so desperately want to be.

the fact that they have said atleast a few times they plan to impliment the "hybrid" role kinda blows that argument out of the water. sure if they impliment it now it wouldn't work too well but after they add the "hybrid" role to duties it will work out great

I see Rogue as a perfect outlet to create Red Mage. I can see this playing off of Rogue's blade enchantments much in the way XI's Red Mage used En-spells.

Segregating hybrids into their own role isn't going to help anyone. It has been mentioned but I foresee a mess and then some.
