Red Mage use Casting gear!!

Note that while this is true, it is still possible that Red Mage will be like Dragoon and Ninja and have their own set of gear instead of sharing with Black Mage/Summoner. Given that they will be up close and personal more often then the other two it would probably have higher Defense (though not as much as melee DPS probably).

Armor isn't really applicable when you're a melee mage with low cooldown gap closer and elusive jump

It specifically mentions that it will SHARE gear with casters. It didn't just mention INT.
