Red Mage: I am not a Back line class

For me the easiest way to put it would be to make rdm like Aions Chanter class. That was a true combat mage.

I forgot about Chanter...but yeah that true! They were always usually DDing the mob..could back up heal if the cleric (or whatever it was called, i cant remember lol) died or needed secondary healer. I remember them having some badass buffs too.

Exactly word for word correct.

What if we give the red mage... red magic?

Why don´t we break the classic old concept of Red Mage third part WHM, third part BLM , another third part WAR and full part inefficent and unoriginal ?

Let the red mage focus in something different, something new never made in a MMORPG before, a class with an unique function no other class or job can imitate. Let it be something that isn´t in the old categories of "Nuker", "Damage dealer", "Healer" ect, lets make a really unique job with a real function.

FFXIV is supposed to be a new generation MMORPG, but I´m tired of this concept of new generation, impresive graphics and animations are great and I loved them, it´s true, but if SE only focus in reusing and improving what is already done, what sense it makes to call it "new" ?. They should create new things, never seen in other MMORPG, new jobs with unique function, new battle mechanics never seen before, let the red mage be something new and groundbreaking, make new and interesting jobs, not just reuse them and change two or three thinks. A Jack of all trade is an horrible and unoriginal idea, lets take 3 classes and mix them, yeah, that looks like something original isn´t it ?. It was good back in 1987 maybe, but now we have to make something new.


CONCLUSION (OR SHORT VERSION IF YOU DON´T WANT TO READ ALL THAT STUFF UP THERE)

...Sorry for the rant U.U
Anyway, what I said is, we have classes which can be used as Jack of All trades, why make a job about that ?, and what is worse, why create an unoriginal, overused and really just a mix of other classes ?. I vote to create something original. Right now I haven´t any idea but I´m on it. ^^U

Just think about that, red magic, a third type of magic never seen in other MMORPG whit original gameplay and a real function (no other class would be able to imitate that function).

Thanks for reading.
