Red Mage is Range Combat? (Discussion)

[EdwinLi]

So a lot of talk about Red Mage being the DPS Job but the one aspect being missed now is that it is focus on being a Range Combat style Job.

How do you think this style may play out for Red Mage? So far the short trailer showed some skills being most of Red Mage attacks are focused on the Sword Staff use for long range spells like Black mage and a sword skill being a "charge attack then jump back to position" skill like Dragoon's Jump Skill but with longer animation.
