If Red Mage were in FFXIV ARR... It would be like this!

[Alise]

Like a Red Mage always was? Being capable of doing everything, at the cost of not doing it as well as dedicated jobs?

Yes that is how my red mage always early job to use since on FF3, FF5, FF-dimension, then change them to Sage, or Devote or Magus or Summoners later end-game wise.
