Time Mage Awareness

and.. all those abilities you want likely be spread out to different jobs that will come to pass.

Time Mage dates back all the way to FFV, then in FFVIII as Ultimecia, FFXII, and Tactics. So, carefully implementing this classic will be great in my opinion.

I agree with the above, here.

The thing is, this is a FF mmo so all jobs (FF lore) have a place within it. A lot of people love their RedMage, and it wouldn't be redundant, since Red Mage is a close range fighter (sword and shield) that has the ability to cast weaker wht and black mage spells and only up to (tier 3...while wht black get up to tier 5-6)

Red mage is not squishy like Wht, Blk or Time mage, and not tanky as a warrior either. It is not a 'jack of all trades' between all jobs (as someone stated earlier) just blk wht and warrior. The balance is already their.

Adding a Time mage to 2.0, with the skill set mentioned by the post above me, would not be redundant if a Redmage was also put into 2.0. See how different their skill set is:

TimeMage Ranged caster
Reflect
Gravity
Float
Reflect
Slow 1,2...etc

Haste 1, 2...etc
Stop
Reflect
Quick
Undo
Demi 1, 2...etc
Meteor


Take the enfeeble & spells that define the Job:
Red Mage Close melee fighter/caster
Double cast,
Barrier,
Hp drain,
Mp drain,

Barfire(all element),
Phalanx,
Elemental spikes,..etc
Most if all of the fencer class skills) and you have your unique Red Mage Job.

Now if I can think of this, what do you think Yoshi & team would bring forth?

You could replace Meteor with Apocalypse or even 'Rapture'(in reference to XIV's Codename) =P
