Red Mage is something I'd love to see. But it implies a certain "jack of all trades, master of none" amalgam of black and white magic - at least, traditionally. We don't know how the class will work in FFXIV yet. I just hope it retains the blending of sword and spell that defined the class in the past.(01-02-2014, 11:35 AM)Kendha Wrote: Much like roleplaying the Echo, I don't see anything inherently wrong with RPing a character as a Summoner/Black Mage/White Mage so long as the player respects the lore behind them without resorting to "Chosen One" tropes. Â It can be done. RPing a character as both a Black and White Mage would raise my eyebrows, though.
(Plus, honestly, locking out "classic" Final Fantasy jobs from RP just seems plain un-fun to me. I'm playing an FF MMO for a reason here!)
I wouldn't be too ready to look ascew at someone who is a blm and Whm since Yoshi said one idea for future content would be "Advanced jobs" with Red mage being a suggestion that would require both black and white mageness.
I am saying that Advanced jobs might be the next big bump since job quests do pretty much work out by 50(just like class quests end with 30) Â If Oracle or Sage or Red Mage builds off of a 50 BLM and a 50 WHM it might become problematic for the rp community if we've built up a "you can't be a WHM and a BLM' when suddenly there's a bunch of things that require both(same for being good at magic and combat that might be required for True redmagery or mystic fencing etc)
