You'd think being a staunch supporter of Red Mage's in the front lines for nearly a decade in FFXI (to the point of infamy) would actually intice me to speak up about this issue more.

But the fact of the matter is, I'm actually pretty confident that Yoshida will get this right. Something on how they described close range attacks and enfeebeling magic as their Red Mage example just struck me as correct.

They know what the desire for the Lovers of Red Mages are. And I think they'll be striving to meet it.

At this point, I'm content to wait and see. If I'm impressed enough. Hyrist (of) Midgardsormr will make a return.
