I love the lore of Red Mage. Not wanting to cause further calamities by drawing aether from the land or the elementals, they draw a small amount from themselves and magnify it with their crystal focus. Plus they roam the land helping people in need. The most wholesome job.
-
I love being a Red Mage main, and I'm very happy you picked us for your first 10 Reasons job video!
-
I really love the Red Mage. It's my go-to DPS in higher or newer content. It's not that bad if I screw up and at times I can save runs^^ I love the versatility and yes, so many outfits look really good when dyed red. About the LB3... I once read a story in the comments. Someone wrote that in an alliance raid the red mages of all 3 alliances used their LB3s one after the other. For about 20 seconds they couldn't see anything at all. Must have been awesome XD
-
Reason 11: Red Mage casts LB3 automatically the instant the bar fills. 😆
-
Me: I should watch this. Also me: already leveled Red Mage to 90
-
Haha the RDM LB is accurate. Was doing the Nier raid, our party's RDM LB'd and the light was so blinding we didn't see the floor AOEs and all died. It was hilarious.
-
I was surprised with how much I enjoyed Red Mage, because I don't typically choose the magic classes in games. It seemed like a good middle ground though, so I picked it up, and didn't realise how fast I took it to level 90. And ofc it's great for fashionable glam, I turned it into a Purple Mage masquerade aesthetic and it's probably my best original glam so far.

"Red mages have everything, a party buff, cool animations, chain raises." "Oh wow all of that on a dps? It's amazing they can do all that and still do damage" "..." "They still do damage right?"
-
The feeling of saving a raid wipe by dualcasting verraise does wonders for my rdm God complex <3
-
Red Mage is legit a fun job. I have, unfortunately, run into the problem of pressing a short-cast spell when Dual Cast was up, so I had to press that short-cast spell again to get Dual Cast. Really the only problem I seem to continue running into, but it's fine. My other favorite job is Samurai. The ridiculous amount of damage put out with this job is so satisfying, and it's so easy to play. Its rotation looks exhausting, but it's really straightforward and flexible, and is also just as mobile as Red Mage.
-
And now, go alliance raid and use LB with 3!! Red mages at the same time. I'm sure even my neighbours saw the light and felt the calamity. And yes, I was once in such a beautiful raid! But to be fair it was like a range DPS raid only with like only RDM and Summoners. My group alone had 4 RDM and 1 summoner (me) as DPS, it was wild. x_x
-
That Limit Break scene... I love you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏🤟👍
-
Favorite job is Gunbreaker. I love the lore tied into the Bozja incident, the aesthetic of a gunblade and a mercenary. Also, all the VFX's that the job has with the Gnashing Fang Combo and of course Double Down. It's fun to just keep hitting buttons, makes my neurons activate in my brain or something. You should do Gunbreaker :D
-
definitely gonna enjoy this series. always fun to see what people think about each job and your humor style is super fun too!
-
That limit break had to much effort put into it, and I am here for it 😂😂
-
Reasons to play RDM: 1. You look stylish. Do you need more? I don't think so, now go and cast Verflashbang on your teammates.
-
You cant stop me. I'll revive myself one day.
-
The moogle weapon for red mage is particularly good.
-
This is a problem. This series is going to make me want to play EVERY job. I need to sleep, Avy!
-
I love red mage and it is SO easy to glamour them. The mix matcher in me hates how good their bog standard outfits look undyed and fully complete! :D When going into new content with people,. I typically chose based on role... Tank: Paladin Healer: White Mage DPS: Red Mage When I feel comfortable with content I go Tank: Dark Knight Healer: Scholar DPS: Bard
