I... kinda wouldn't. I have a certain expectation of a red mage to be proficient at everything but not the best at anything. While I'd hope to see them at some point, I feel like that's not the greatest fit.
I'd prefer to see something to the effect of GW2s Necromancer class. They put down wells that buff allies within a certain area, marks that debuff enemies within a certain range, they can apply status conditions to foes, or they can siphon status conditions off of their allies and turn them into self-buffs. They also have some decent heals and temporary minions that apply situational debuffs. They are maximum trolling for PvP
So in Final Fantasy's terms, black, white, and summon magic, but without the weapon proficiency. Sounds like a Sage to me. But I may be splitting hairs, since Sage is likened to a Red Mage in many aspects. I would just prefer to see the Red Mage able to go melee or ranged situationaly... perhaps install it as a class with a Sage Job for support/casting and Rune Fencer for tank/melee?
