Even if Green Mage isn't the caster, it should still happen

[DamianFatale]

For all of Final Fantasy history, we have only known of White, Black, Red, and Blue Magic. Green Magic was an introduction in the series that is underutilized, and honestly it rings right off the tongue. Having a fifth "green" colored magic job with its own flare to how it uses magic, would be an incredible idea, and I hope even if it turns out to be just fan speculation, that we get it in a future expansion.

The job barely has an identity, but a few side games have dared to create it, and I think that the whole clover mage aesthetic is just down right lovely.

Green Mage/Green Magic originates from the Ivalice entries (FFXII, FF Tactics & spin-offs) and essentially is built around buffing allies (Protect, Shell, Bravery, Faith) and debuffing enemies (Blind, Silence, Sleep and Poison usually).

It technically makes more sense as a dedicated Healer job, however a support-oriented Caster (more-so than Red Mage) with both offensive and defensive effects could be created, with using damage built around status effects (DOT application, ripping DOTs out for spike damage, delayed damage although that's more of a Time Mage thing).

Regardless if Healer or Caster, Green Mage would definitely be a favourite of mine as a job hailing from the Ivalice series.

Note: Green Mages in various entries wield Hammers & Maces. *happy combat cleric noises*

I really would like a mace!

We may get something like a Green Mage, but the job will be named "Turtle"

I have a hard time picturing Green Mage in FF14 unfortunately, Haste a massive buff from them tends to be detrimental in 14, messing with folks rotaions. And debuffs aren't really a thing in ff14 beyond mitigation, in a similar vein to Blu.

Honestly I think it would just be a green themed mage, and would probably have some of those classic spells, but tooled in a way that is balanced and fair. I.e. protect, and shell come back, but they are on cooldowns. Would be the opposite of Dancer in the way that Dancer gives you mostly attack buffs. Green Mage would focus on additives of defense. Could also potentially fill in the niche that Astrologian left behind when its cards got ruined.

woo, what about a Time Battlemage. Green + Time + crossbow!

I actually really love the idea of a time magic-based DPS who utilises a variety of buffs as part of their rotation.

Double/ Triple, Haste, Slow, Stop etc. could be weaved in with attacks as well as having abilities like Scan (increase in crit/ guaranteed next shot crit), Reflect (generates a shield that unleashes an attack relating to the amount absorbed on expiration), Shell and so on. Basically just give me my quasi-FFVIII Sorceress class please.

I have been saying this for literally years, but Green Mage and Geomancer would synergize extremely well as a concept.

Green Mage is about support and has a hammer.

Geomancer is about areas of influence (again, support) and is very terrain/earth themed.

It seems logical to me that, especially if we are not getting Geomancer outright in FFXIV, a Green Mage that influences the terrain and surrounding allies/enemies by SMASHING THE GROUND WITH A MALLET is just good, synergistic design.

Plus, I really like the idea of Green Mage's weapon being the inverse of Red Mage's. Instead of having the focus at the hilt of a sharp weapon, it should be inside the head of a blunt object.

I think it would be a really cool roll. Buffing your party, while also poisoning enemies.
