Very vague on how it will attack in melee (but I strongly suspect it will be similar to OGCD skill or stuff to trigger at times).

I'm not against this, as I like to play pure DPS, which I am doing with Machinist and Summoner... but I do think it could have been cool for it to have SOME support spells. Not necessarily direct healing spells, but maybe like a spell that boosts someone's MP or a 10-sec spell  which does a bit of healing to the party equivalent to the damage the RDM does within those 10 seconds... stuff like that.

Well, all we can do is wait and see what they give the Red Mage. ^^

That's what I'm doing too. Just changed my alt (soon to be main) who is this Elezen who has studied as an Arcanist and is now training some swordfighting to see if they can combine. ^^

I want to see more about the class. How the stories work in it from 50-60 and 60-70. Also do we know what kind of armor it will take? I am guessing its mage.

At any rate I am gonna be trying the class once its out.

I do wonder if they will make an outfit based on the Bravely Default/Second version. I kinda like it.

It certainly has a warrior-scholar feel I'd attribute to Sharlayan.

I'm hoping it's not a case of "ultra rare super secret art that only like, one person in the entire world will ever learn".

If it does end up being Sharlayan in origin, I wonder if the quest line will have a similar situation as the AST one - considering Sharlayan's oh-so-friendly approach to any of their potential combat-usable knowledge being spread around.

I think 5.0 is gonna be on the other side of the map. I dunno why. Just....feeling.

What if Red Magick that the Red Mage uses is Blood Magic?
And you’d have to stab at the target to get the blood for your spells, and the flying crystal is the container of the blood you gain.
That would be awesome, imo. :3
