Alisae's Job (Spoilers within)

[Culfinrandir]

Heh, now imagine if your Warrior of Light, like mine, did the fight on Scholar. If anything the Warriors of Darkness were the odd ones out! They brought weapons to a book fight!

Indeed, I was on Scholar & Thancred was the weirdo, with his silly fruit paring knives. X3

if theres going to be a red mage class it would be kind of dumb with how the class system is since there are specific job roles for every class and red mage is a jack of all trades. sorry people stop dreaming of red mage the combat system does not support it.

Just because they are a jack of all trades doesn't mean they can't fall in a category of either tank or dps.

I dunno - Since Raubahn at the latest, I've kinda stopped trying to push NPCs into classes or jobs. Pretty sure the only rule they follow is the rule of cool.

So...until further notice, I crack the blade up to fancy arcanima.

She probably is just a red Mage using an Aether weapon, just like our weapons from the palace of the dead.

Runic - used by celes was a magic/interuption ability that drew any spell casted into her blade and resulted in her gaining mo instead of it hitting its intended target(even cure spells i think) so drawing your aether into alisailes blade is really reminiscent of that only as an offensive.
Either way im a little hyped, it looks like it would be fun for a dps or tank to utilize.
also they can fit rdm anywhere they want, and only have to make it look like a rdm and have a couple signature spells or moves.
I mean the entire community here has made valid points on how it would work as any of the 3 roles, or even switchable roles before signing up.

If it ends up being mystic knight/rune fencer/etc I will be so happy. Far and away one of my favorite jobs but always so rare to find in FFs in comparison to classics like black mage, red mage, dragoon, etc so it will be a nice surprise to get it by the second expansion as opposed to the... last? like FFXI did.

Exactly... Honestly, aside from the lack of a sword, White Mage is already a Red Mage... It has Cure and Stone... It can heal and nuke...

I would hope for a DPS Red Mage though, it can be similar to Summoner in some regards (which has Physick and Resurrect, not that they're that useful), and a MP/TP hybrid DPS would be unique enough I think... Bonus points if they work the elemental wheel into its rotation... I'd love something like Bravely Seconds magic crafting system, give the Job XIs basic elemental DoTs (Burn/Drown/etc.) and then give it a series of skills that alter their effects... Would be great to hit it with Ice, then Fire which melts the Ice, making Water and meaning Lightning gets a bonus...

Blue Mage is another Job that frequently gets hit with "How would that even work with the role system?", but I'd say just make it a tank... Tanks already have the best of all three, they have DPS stances/rotations, they have fairly reasonable self-healing (even group healing, for Paladin)... Blue Magic also suits a counter-based tank well, I think... Can have things like White Wind for the same reasons Paladin has Clemency and Divine Veil...

Red Mage seems plausible, though I want to believe Rune Fencer (or just Rune Mage, a combination of Rune Fencer and Red Mage) would be exclusive to XIV.

I also recalled, she mainly auto attack. Knowing SE, this was their way of saying. Yes, this is a new job, but we ain't showing no abilities.
