Red Mage

I'm good with Rdm not being in this game.

Unless they rearrange entire party setup / armory system / everything and add a true support class, the limited roles are going to limit jobs beyond the triad. Our community lacks the understanding for this game to work like xi did. Sorry rdms....

If you're using XI as a basis, you've got to remember that, at least at one point, BRD was also a support class(not to mention Corsair was treated as one and Blue Mage could be under the right skillset), and XIV converted it into a hybrid DPS/Support. RDM could have 'Heal', a Physick/Cure-type spell, for low-level survivability like ACN does. Bring back some of the old-school XIV 1.0 disused skills, do the hybrid TP/MP/TP or MP/TP/MP combos that people have brought up in other RDM suggestion threads.

People need to remember that aside from XI, the only defined roles were Healer and Non-Healer, there wasn't a true Tank until XI came around(FF-wise, unless X/X-2 had the role).

Why did you have to bring this up? Reminding me of the pain of not being able to play my favorite job since the first FF.

sniff..m..maybe 4.0?

On the flipside, the idea of a RDM is "guy with a sword that has access to magic", so all it would take is an MMORPG take on that concept. It doesn't have to (and IMO shouldn't) be a support class.
