Didn't Yoshi P say in an interview months ago that he was fully aware that people would be upset no matter how they designed it? I guess here's the proof.

I like the core of RDM in XIV and I feel like future expansions will expand upon the sword play and interactions between white and black magic. As it stands though, this is the closest that a RDM could be thematically in XIV, and I'm impressed with th final result.
