Well, yes. Final Fantasy's magic has always been cut and dry and focused exclusively on White Magic being "it" when it came to healing. Blue Magic and Geomancy would be good candidates to expand as far as healing potential, in that regard.

Generally speaking, you need targeted heals (minor, medium, major potency), AoE heals, heals over time (HoT), smart heals, healing as a secondary effect from mitigation abilities, location-based heals, and lesser heals with secondary effects. Right now Final Fantasy has targeted heals and AoE heals, because Regen's effects are so minor they don't really qualify as HoT.

Red Mages getting a heal spell would have to be secondary and reliant on a proc or something, just to be on the safe side.

So...yeah....how about them Red Mages? With their rapiers and pimp hats?
Yeah, lol regen is terrible.
