Blue Magic, they get all the best skills.

I like blue magic but learning the spells can be a bitch. I also really like haste so it's a tie between blue and time. Ironically I think blackmages are one of my least favourite

White or Green. I just love playing support classes in every game I have if I'm not able to be like, a sniper or something.

I love the way a Red Mage looks, but Blue Magic is awesome.

FFV - Level 5 Death
FFVI - Erm, why is it called Lore?
FFVII - Erm, why is it called Enemy Skill?
FFVIII - That's better! Degenerator please!
FFIX - Read my sig
FFX - More useful than you think, Particularly Mighty guard ^.^
FFXII - .....how dare you.

I'm actually not a huge fan of mages - I do prefer brute strength. However, being a warrior, I obviously prefer having someone healing me when I'm in an MMO or any other kind of multiplayer, so WHM gets that end of my vote. If I have to be a mage, I find Blue Mage the most interesting (but I lack the effort to play it) and Red Mage to be the best job with "Mage" included in it. But like Jiro and Velo, it's mostly because of it's non-magical prowess.

I'll say WHM overall because I like them the most, even if I don't like being a White Mage the most. Swooooooords get my vote in the poll, though!

I love blue mage. It's my favorite job in Final Fantasy. Learning blue magic is fun and much more rewarding than 'buy the spell', 'level up to learn spell' or 'equip item to learn spell'. Blue magic is also very versitile and covers a lot of the other types. In FFXI in particular, certain status buffs/debuffs can only be found in BLU spells. Add that to the fact that they are pretty decent fighters (except for Strago), makes blue mage the best all around job.

Blue magic in some form has been found in FFV-FFXI and has not been seen since. This makes me sad and I don't think it's a coincidence that the lack of blue magic in FF correlates with SE's recent decline. I hope the next FF game involves blue magic in some variety, and an enemy-skill based job is introduced in FFXIV eventually.

But if I were ever faced with that situation in real life...I'd let Bahamut handle it rather than force myself to get hit with their spells just so I could send it back at them.

Black Magic and Time Magic are my favorite schools of magic. Lately, I see Time Magic being a part of White Magic and Black Magic rather than its own category. I know that Final Fantasy I classified Haste, or FAST, as a type of Black Magic for some reason.
