How Many Would Have Rather Seen RDM than SMN

[Kiote]

The only strange thing is the link between Arcanist and its job Summoner. A debuff class is needed, so Arcanist (without pet) has to be implemented, and its job could have been Red Mage.

Arcanists have the ability to summon Carbuncle.

Red Mages are not a Debuffing class, they are DD who can assist with heals and buffs. Like ARC/BRD.

In every Final Fantasy, that had them, except XI, Red Mage was a Strong Melee with the Ability to Nuke and Heal.
