Wouldn’t trying to address the prevalence of the ‘phys meta’ be the most efficient way to make Red Mage (and similar jobs that aren’t as popular in high end content) more attractive?

The buffs to Red Mage in 4.4 were cool, but as a PS4 players it’s hard for me to tell the difference between now and then
