Red Mage

If a mage can cast both white and black magic, shouldn't the job be called Gray Mage?

Yeah but it's not so get the fuck over it retard

pwned

Yeah but then he wouldn't have a sick fucking red hat.

Nah. Dude just liked red.

No cause the publishers of Lord of the Rings got pissy
It's probably cause the first ones were the Order of the Red or something dumb like that

The first final fantasy was based on D&D, and the Dragonlance setting had Red Mages.

based

>trying to make sense of Final Fantasy classes
go ahead and explain to me why time is orange, or why it even needs to be its own class

Think of it like this: The Red Mage, who can learn all manners of spells known to man, is the opposite of a Blue Mage, who has learned the spells of beasts.

Refresh mage.

So explain why they're called Blue Mages.

Black mages cast black magic.
Why are summoners not summon mages?

Because they're often not called summons in the game. They're called Eidolens/Aeons/Guardian force etc.

A lot of the time magic is also stuff that has nothing to do with time, stuff like regen and float could as well be white magic and comet, meteor and gravity could be black.

Regen and float are white magic in almost every FF game. I assume comet is some crappy idea of space and time.

It fits the theme of time(and space), but time mage tends to be pretty bad and it probably is better to divvy up their spells to white mage and black mage.

I also like what they did with X, just give haste/slow to a fighter.

They went with red to work within NES color restrictions, and the color has stuck ever since

>time magic
>stop and slow don't work on bosses
>pretty much the only usable spell is haste unless meteor gets shoved in for whatever retarded reason
What's even the point?

Blue Mage SUCKS

In the good ones slow works on everything.

Ah yes, NES was famous for not being able to display gray color.

That's the case for pretty much every single spell from sleep to toad to mini whatever, they have like a 1% chance of working on normal enemies and bosses are immune to them, it's all useless expect the usual fire/ice/lightning spells.

Is this a Duane & Brando reference?

I think it's supposed to relate to the moon? White, black, and blood moon.

that would make sense
but they should have had gold mages then

Maybe, if they were just a combination of Black and White Mages, but they're not. Red Mages also incorporate a bit of Warriors as well.

If the red mage could only cast white and black magic then gray mage would be appropriate, but you're forgetting it can also equip armor and wield swords like a warrior. The warrior is red, and so is the red mage.

Unless it's a nod towards the mage classification from Dragonlance.

If you were a swanky-ass dude who knew all kinds of destructive and healing magic, what colour would you want people to associate with yourself?

Neon green

The explanation in FFXI is that monster blood is blue

It's red because it's rad as fuck.

Now that i think about it, kinda. They need to either defeat the enemies they need or feel the magic they want to learn on their skin in order to copy it. Although they don't have a natural projectile weapon, it's either rods (FFV, Strago), whips (Quistis), forks (Quina), spears (Khimari) or scimitars (FFTA).

I understood that reference.

you don't know the feeling either because you're literally just pressing a button

Nah fag
