Of course they can make a workable tank kit and call it Red Mage. Of course DRK still has some identity, thats why I said worse, not as bad. And of course this isn't 11, Dark Knight and Red Mage were in a lot more FF games than that.

This whole making sense thing really doesn't. 2/3rd's of Red Mage is damage, the rest is healing. They will always make more sense as a DPS for that reason alone.
I think the majority of it is just balancing issues. Yoshi P. has never liked playing the balancing game with classes and makes them more straight forward. I understand it is frustrating to see your classes losing some identity, but I feel if it does go tank it can retain some of its identity, but it is impossible to have it all. I think Yoshi would pref to put another class in this role if it was possible, but the majority is asking for Red Mage.
