THe Magus in FF is usually a upgrade of the Black Mage (BLack Magus normally called). I don't know if that can be possible, sound redundant.

PD: Level 1: Meteo. Holy shit!!!

Feels like the Wizard job from Bravely second, all in all It might actually work although some skills in this form are actually a bit too powerful, but would be a nice addition nonetheless imho

It's actually closer to a very underrated Squaresoft game, Threads of Fate. I like the references, a lot, but I do agree it could be a bit overpowered.

You're both right. >w>
When I played Bravely Second, the Wizard class reminded so much of Mint's magic from Threads of Fate (Dewprism in the original JP), where you select an element and then an effect.

Magus also appears in Dimensions and in the JP version of Bravely Default, Arcanist is called Magus.
The version of Meteo I based this one on was from the SFX command from the beginning play in IX.

You can't delete threads...

I do agree with all of you that this is overpowered but I couldn't find ways to fill up the skill slots and be meaningful. >A>()

This is getting hostile. Anyone is open to create their own thread, then decide to quote it into your collaboration thread. Thanks.

Agreed. Also :P Ptthhhhrlllbbbb ---> Blackcanary

Anyways you get my like for using Mint lol. Any class using the rings for long distance magic and as blunt weapon is awesome in my book. Though I wouldn't mind the rings being implemented for dancer but this would be my next alternative for sure. If Square did implement it it'd be more popular than machinists RNG BS for sure.

[Erudito]

This post just gave me an idea.

If Black Mage upgrades to magus, make it so that it gives you a slight buff to all stats and one, yes one, move that would bring the job to unrivaled heights. Something really OP that can't be used in PvP and has a long cool-down its so awesome.

For this to work it would have to be implemented during the later bits of the games life when the level cap is close to the max though.

Ideas like this are fun to imagine.

[Kazrah]

Definitely an interesting idea. Sure, some of those skills could use a passing nerf and the support end seems a bit too heavy, but the spell alteration factor is definitely a cool concept. I definitely approve!

Would say too though that I'm not too sure about the name of "Magus" for the sake of translation purposes. Thinking Bravely Second got it right with "Wizard", but maybe "Sage" or something that wouldn't wind up as the same name found in Black Mage or White Mage in other languages.
