The boring mage of red

[Blueyes]

Wouldn't call it boring, maybe a little too easy.

I can agree with this statement. Whether or not something can be considered boring is highly subjective, but for what it's worth, I'm with the crowd that thinks Red Mage is a lot of fun to play. However, my biggest criticism is that Red Mage feels too simple. If I were to use Samurai as a point of comparison, Red Mage feels like Samurai without the Kenki gauge. For Samurai, it's the management of Kenki that gives the job a whole new layer of depth. That's something Red Mage lacks. Another way to look at it would be to say Red Mage has a low skill floor, but also a low skill ceiling. SE has stated their intent to shorten the gap between those two extremes, but I still find myself wishing Red Mage could be pushed further.
