red mage is the only class i've never used in this game. seems kind of boring. i liked the extremism of all the characters in this game. tank, damage dealer, healer, nuker. or sometimes i swap the damage dealer for the agility of thief (although the THF in DoS can't run from battles very easily).

red mage is like a catch all class. i like my characters to be polarised and have to rely on each other to survive.

Couldn't agree more.

They can't cast Flare or Holy either

Of course Red Mages rocks. I mean, LOOK AT THEM! Awesome outfit.

Sounds like an interesting party, which I should try on FF Origins sometime. The only drawback might be that tons of fighting would be needed to keep all of the best equipment for the party, which can get tedious.

They have a pimp suit on. That's always cool.

Red mages suck.
