thats my point, if ppl whant so badly have a long sword dps why i dont see it asking in every threat for RDM dps, i guess ppl asume RDM go to be dps yes or yes but when ppl ask or say "i want RDM tank" they dont get so salty about it, what i want to say yeah SAM is cool and ppl want it to they side even if they only argument is "whe dont have a sword dps, or tanks have already a 2 hands sword job" when you have RDM saying "hi im here, i can be a cool sword dps too, j-just love me " but no, is "SAM dps or riot"

if i am correctly Red Mage uses a rapier, not a "real" sword. so, nope, i would never love Red Mage if i wanted a SWORDfighter. red mage is... well, a mage with a rapier.

tanks already have a one handed sword (paladin) and a two handed sword (dark knight). why not give DDs a one handed "sword" with red mage and a two handed sword with samurai? also do we really need a fourth slashing weapon on the tank side? i would like to see the next tank uses a hammer o.o/

depend of the game, red mage apears in many ff games using many types of weapons, in most of the they use a sword or a cimatar and other like ff tactics use a rapier, thats depend of how you look it and what type of sword SE want to add to RDM.

for my point of view if SE add SAM as tank i think is pretty fair add RDM with a sword instead of a rapier.

slashing, blunt or pearcing damage means nothing in the game excep how you interact with the other jobs, add a blunt damage tank means tie it to a monk for damage except they make it have they own blunt resistance down with cant stack or directly make it stack but is the same, that make that tank need to go with monk alwais to get that extra damage.

Red Mages uses all kind of short and long sword. Rapier is just one of the weapons they use. Red mage uses similar weapons to paladin, except heavy shields and heavy swords. Don't think only on the damn FFXI, think on all FF. In some FF they even use canes and shields.
