I'm looking to establish some contacts with others who are currently or who plan on becoming red mages when Stormblood comes out. Would it make sense for red mages to just suddenly pop up out of nowhere, or would they have been there all along. I'm new to Final Fantasy lore, so I'm not sure what would make sense. Would red mages start out in the far east (since that is where the expansion is opening up)? Trying to plan out my characters background and future plans, so any information would be appreciated! Thanks!
Afaik there is just nothing concrete or official yet regarding Red Mage origin lore.
There's a lot of SAM hype right now and I think we'll get a dose of that with the MSQ pt 2 but we'll probably have to wait for someone to either straight ask the question in an interview or play the RDM class quest in June to find out.
Most folk are assuming that it's going to be Sharlayan related since the one NPC we have that might be a RDM is Sharlayan so if lore is a primary concern of yours it could be worth taking that into account and planning accordingly.
Could peek around this thread if it interests you.
