Well, thank you so much for your informed opinion.

Anyway, the reason Red Mages are so much better in FF1 is because once you picked a character to be a RM, he was stuck as a RM/Red Wizard. Nobody would want to pick a spell-casting character that could only cast the first three levels of spells, would they?

Not so in FFV. In FFV, you can change classes at will, and even give characters abilities from other classes. Of course, this also makes the RM a bit obsolete. But he is insanely useful in the early parts of the game (he can immediately cast the first two levels of elemental spells, as well as Cure, Cure 2 and Life) and at the end (for !X-Magic).

Red Mages are very useful if you want to have a melee char while still having some spells. Never underestimate the ability to cast defensive and offensive skills from one turn to the next. I usually have the brawl ability on Red Mages, that way they can do some serious attack damage.

I ofcourse saw one thing not. You can ofcourse creat your own Red Mage. For example a Black Mage with White Magic as secondary ability or vice versa. Maybe I am going to try that. It sounds like a good idea.

yes the red mages are usefull but they look gay.

[The Man]

Are you kidding? Batz's Red Mage sprite strongly resembles the get-up of a pimp.

Yeah a Red Mage tends to do a lot of dying in this game.

But why would you want a Red Mage in the first place?
There's so many jobs that out-classes the Red Mage by miles.

I don't think the Red Mage looks at all homosexual.
