  Red Mages do have one thing they’re better at than every other class. No one has that shit on like a Red Mage.

  A jack of all trades but the masters of style. Red mage will always be one of my favorite jobs in Final Fantasy along with Dark Knights.

  It&apos;s worth mentioning that it&apos;s likely that the original Red Mage, given all the Dungeons &amp; Dragons influence on the original Final Fantasy, is inspired by the Bard class. It&apos;s the original &quot;jack of all trades&quot; class with access to both weapons and magic. <br><br>That&apos;s probably why it&apos;s got that snazzy feathered hat; it&apos;s a very bardly accessory.

  FF14 is the quintessential red mage to me. <br><br>While they are a magic DPS class, thematically, they still go into melee as well, utilize both sides of their magic, and have a very cool visual flare of their sword becoming a &quot;staff&quot; during casting.

  This is the Red Mage, they can do it all! Both kinds of magic and swordplay too, y&apos;all!
