I am looking forward to red mage a great deal~ it looks downright pretty on screen (and the cosplays I'll be able to come up with.. and the ffxi character remake i can do.. and the sheer kingdom heartsyness of the moves.. its great)

Honestly this is exactly what I expected rdm would end up being from the standpoint that it is a mage who can also use a sword, i think people are neglecting to consider the fact that all they showed on the video were red mage specific combat moves, cross class things are still going to exist I'm sure and thus.. presto~ white and black magic, swordsmanship, /that hat/

One thing i hope for... the combat style looks awfully masculine (because it is a male miqo'te of course it does)
I wonder if the female version will be more Amy Sorel or Aqua (feminine, elegant, almost ballet-like) and less Raphael Sorel-like (again masculine, i half expect him to do the dance from the soul calibur character combat demo)
