Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Godsleftsock]

Why not Red Mage first? It seems wierd to not add in a more prevalant, basic job from the series first, over scholar. I can see not putting in more melee type jobs since the game needs some more mages, but why Scholar and not Red mage? For a specific role fulfillment?

I'm thinking they'll make Red Mage into an actual battle mage this time.
