Why Red Mages are awesome (like anyone else was going to make this thread)
So yeah, Red Mages are super cool. They can use most of the more damaging weapons in the game, they can heal, they can buff, they can do damage to large groups of enemies and to top it all off they have super sweet hats. So what if they can't use all of the equipment or spells in the game. Their versatility more than covers them. Also, did I mention the hat?
There is no signature here. Move along.
I'd also Like to Mention my Red Mage Maxx, is currently superior to my Red Mage Ouch, in all catagories except for luck.
But since real Red Mages don't run away anyways, Maxx is superior to Ouch in every catagory.
Sorry Ouch, some of us just weren't cut out to be Red Mages.
I've been pretty disappointed in my red mage, but I have a pretty generally positive regard for them otherwise.
Early on mine was a god. But after class change and level 16-ish he started to fall down in comparison to everyone else and became just a buffer/healer, and nuked only to clear out large groups of enemies.
This space intentionally left blank.
I <3 my red mage!
Haste.
Maxx is going to kill me for this, but I don't like Red Mages. é_è
I usually go for massive damage rather than versatility. But Monk/Black Belt isn't my favourite class, either, because their defense just stinks.

You don't like 'em, go make a thread about you not liking 'em. This is purely for those who realise the amazingness of the Red Mage.

After I got Silver Swords it was like sweet! But now that I have all the magic I can get and still half the game to play it's like um...
It is fun to have everyone cast Bolt2 and then finish it off with swords though.

Do I really need to voice my opinion on the matter?
Red Mages make for a fun game. I approve.
Black Mages fail because they can't stay alive long enough to use their spells which then run out while your Fighter/Red Mage does the same damage with a sword anyway.
White Mages fail because they can't stay alive long enough to restore their own HP with their own curative spells.
Red Mage wins.
Red Mages are rather awesome. Although I've gone for a rather boring, RM-less game, I certainly appreciate how great they are. It's just nice to have that versatility in character that they can be depended upon for pretty much whatever you want in battle. Even if, sadly, their shine starts to fade a bit as the game goes on.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
If I don't have a Red Mage in my party, it just doesn't feel right. When playing, I need a Fighter, Red Mage, White Mage, and a Black Mage. Mages are needed! Otherwise, I'm playing, and I'm like "Oh, my entire party is hurt, and one guy is hurt more! I'll have my White Mage heal everyone, and my Red Mage heal one guy." and then I'm like "OH NO I DON'T HAVE A REDMAGE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Yeah. Pretty much.
I always use a Red Mage/White Mage combo for my party's magic. I never needed Nuke, anyway.
