Today I learned that FFXI has endgame content that requires THREE jobs at 99 and I have no earthly idea what I could possibly want to level that isn't Red Mage.

@OchotonidKnight The Red Mage really should count as 3 jobs tbh It does the work of a fighter, a black mage and a white mage

@FreyaManibrandr Not quite how it works in XI, lol. Every job has a pretty distinct identity in some form or another.

@OchotonidKnight I'd be curious to learn what has changed to make the red mage more unique in FFXI

@FreyaManibrandr Also there's actually like. A lot more Swords with magic traits now to help us actually do our jobs??? And we've been finally given more light-armor bones recently, like we'd been so starved over basically straight from ToAU all the way through Abyssea and even a little into Adoulin.

@OchotonidKnight that does sound pretty fun to play. Being able to weaken the enemy and buff yourself for more combat effectiveness plus being inherently combat effective.
