How Many Would Have Rather Seen RDM than SMN

[Paddle]

Well I'm all SMN *pose* my main job. I have a feeling that SE has a couple more aces up their sleeve. When I was watching the video the dev said that they're going to add more "classes" as in plural....nix summoner because devs said SMN was arriving "after" launch. So, that's just one class. I have a feeling that RDM will see 2.0 release and among other other caster classes.

We definitely need another healer class. Not saying SMN or RDM should fill that void, but it's needed.

There should be multiple options for DPS, Tanking, AND healing. My personal hope is that musketeer turns into chemist as a job, with HoTS as the main focus in addition to "Throw Potion" and enhanced potion effects when used by a chemist. It'll also fill the coffers of a few alchemists.

I'd only want RDM if it excelled at casting WHILE meleeing, not the way FFXI did it.

That would actually be pretty damn cool. You thinking Tatics Chemist?

Yep. There's definitely room for another style of healer (Heals over Time style could definitely be useful), and I loooooved my tactics chemists, at least after getting a few decent guns.

Or Riku from ffx/alchemist of ffx-2 the latter weilding a gun =P mixing items together for new effects was pretty awesome in both of those games.

While I would love to see a tactics style chemist in the game (actually thought alchemist would be like that originally) I think I would cry if that turned out to be Musketeer's job. I'd rather see musketeer turn into something like engineer/machinist or corsair/gambler.

perfect time for summoner, i hope they they reveal shiva in the long run and leviathien if water spell come bk.

Wish those pics were real, sounds like a badass kind of Red Mage.

Red Mage is my all time Favorite Final Fantasy class.

I've always preferred the Games where every Character could have summons and you learn special skills depending on which one you used. I think they could have done it somehow in an MMO.

If they wanted a Pet Class, we should have gotten Beastmaster.

To people saying RDM will just end up being not good enough if it's a Jack of all Trades, perhaps that is more down to the enemies being faced. If they job-lock you in certain dungeons then this problem would go away. What happens if there are fights in that dungeon where you need more healers than in others which would require more attackers? In order to win in such a case, you would need a versatile job - hello, RDM. There should be certain endgame content designed to cater for the various different jobs available to us. Also, if Bard can do damage from range while buffing and curing when needed, why not RDM? Give them perhaps WAR level melee damage, obviously less defence/HP to sort out the tanking issue, and magic. Simples. If there's a problem where RDM constantly gets turned into healer-only or magic-only, then the obvious solution is to lower the MP available.
