The Inevitable Implementation of Red Mage

[Orophin]

Maybe not a huge deal but terribly inefficient from a debuffing/caster standpoint. But that was XI, this is XIV. I hope for a different mechanic than having to swap 4 to 8 elemental staves per fight.

That's almost a given considering you can't viably swap weapons in combat, especially in between every cast. The core of the game would have to be changed around where a weapon wasn't tied to a specific class/job, and I don't see that happening. Which is fine by me, 8 less inventory spots that'll be taken up.
