Red Mage (Tank) Please!

[Saggo]

Saying that they can make a tank kit, but just slap a red mage name on it and it won't be a "proper" red mage is the very essence of saying that it can't be done, without out right stating it.

That's not what can't means.

It had to do with the tank meta in so far as it's "enough survivability to survive, put everythingelse in damage."

Hardly what I said. Every Red Mage in Final Fantasy: a subset of Black Magic (Damage), a subset of White Magic (Not Damage), and decent melee weapons/armor (Damage). Red Mage is more DPS then it ever was Heal or Tank. Not open ended design, it's a set pattern. Defensive stuff were gimmicks in, really, just 11. That has nothing to do with how tanks survive.

If we're going to say what makes sense for Red Mage, it's not tanking.
