I would love if Dancers had race specific moves, just one class that makes sense. Silly dances for lala, etc.

Dear God no, I want to be able to play Red mage( I don't tank, I just don't) honestly don't get why people are wanting red mage to be a tank, in almost all other FF games, the red mage never had the highest hp, it wasn't the heavy hitter or the greatest gealer, it was basically a way to be ready for anything and react to anything. And from those attribute I see that as a dps( could be healer but eh) it can give buffs to the whole party, I could help with healing if the healers are having a hard time, it can dps( not sure what rank it should be in the dps rank) it's something to be used as a just in case scenario, not thrown out in the front to be attacked by multiple enemies and gain all the hate.

I don't undetand why people becomes agressive when someone suggest Samurai as tank, as if was some thing of heresy ask for it. Think on it. Samurai can be both Tank or DPS perfectly of course, but if comes both Red Mage and Samurai together in the same expasion (if that happens of course), which really will be each? And please, not with the "mage tank is new!" or "we have too much sword tanks" (btw, red mage uses sword/rapiers) and that. Please think on how the game works. Picking the current job config, what you think fit better this classes with the current job configuration?



If Red Mage or Samurai are a Tank, they will look like this image. Samurai probably won't look neither good with that, but, think on it. Between Red mage or Samurai, which one fit that gear? If you ask me, that thing fits more a Samurai than a Red Mage. A lot of people complain about the indetity of the jobs in this game, but you will allow this to red mage only in order to obtain a Samurai DPS?

Of course, still, like I said, can be both DPS, but then they won't come in the same expasion, which is not the theme of this thread (unless they put Red Mage as healer, Sam as DPS, which, can be, possible too).

I will add. This game will never put a tank in robes. Too much thigns must me changed for that.
