I hate white mages more than an emo cuts himself.
Really? Gee, that's too bad.
No Cure spells for you when you're at Critical HP then...
But yeah, they suck at offensive fightingness... until they get Holy! Then p*ss a White Mage off and all hell breaks loose!

Damn right, it's better than yours!
I could Heal you, but I have to charge.
I've readed the forums and according to people:
Black Belts Suck
Red Mages Suck
Black Mages Suck
Thieves Suck
Now the White Mages suck? Everyone sucks then.
Nobody has said that the Fighters suck. Unless you include the Black Mage from the 8-Bit Theater. Anyway, I think White Mage is a pretty useful class. I'm into a more defensive gaming style myself, so I'd rather take a White Mage and a Red Mage (RM provides some extra healing) than a WM and a BM. Besides, the White Mage still gets some offensive spells, such as Harm/Dia spells and Fade/Holy, and if you want her to do some physical damage, just give her the Masamune.

just grab a red mage.
Of all the classes, White Mages are most likely the most important jobs to have. Even if you have a load of powerful attackers, they need healing and the Red Mages lower level healing, as well as potions, are just not enough in the later dungeons.
Plus, after much research in FF1 and later titles, I discovered that while the White Mage has lower defense and attack, she has a pretty good speed stat, as well as a defense higher than that of a Black Mage. So she often dodges more attacks than the BM, and receives less of a beating when she does get hit. Why do you think White Mages stands in front of Black Mages during a combat situation?
So, while White Mages are no good when it comes to taking on enemies, she is more often the only thing making sure her allies can keep up their attacks. Every class has their place, and a White Mage's place is to keep herself and others alive. What's a powerful party filled with great strength and black magic worth if they're all dead?

JESUS H. CHRIST! I WAS KIDDING!!!
Seriously, every party I have ever made has a white mage in it.
White Mages suck.
Black Mages swallow.

Well to go by Uncyclopedia which is ironically not supposed to contain useful information, White Mages are usually one of the only things that make it necessary to have a White Mage in the party in the first place.
Their FF1 page is what ultimately converted me over to Red Mage love.
The WM is easily the most useless class in the game. If you need healing, then take a red mage. At least they can cause offense when healing isnt needed.
