Red Mages Only: Final Fantasy 12

Maces doing magic damage makes me think of a canister of magic-flavored pepper spray.

Red Mage in 1: Jack of all trades, master of none. Red Mage in 3: Master of none. Red Mage in 5: Dualcast? nah, Rod Smash! Red Mage in 12: ARDOR.

The reason the dual sandseas work, for me, is being blown away that I was in the second sandsea, and could still see Rabanastre in the skybox. An easy trick, but it worked on me at the time. Gives such a sense of a long journey. Also, you sidetrack yourself in the caverns.That sense of adventure is cool. Doing video challenges can, for good reason mind you, miss the wandering that can make an area.

As I said in other videos. Red mage is best class 😎😎😎

I think I remember reading in an interview that the reason Red and Time mages are Battlemages in IZJS / Zodiac Age was because they wanted to really give them more of an Ivalician vibe and lean into the mixed attacker angle (and also I'm sure from a practical standpoint they had so many weapon types, being able to spread 2 more weapon types out - maces and crossbows - probably made the job balance a little more even). As an aside, they also really wanted a Spear user but didn't think Dragoons made sense (Bangaa can be Dragoons in the two Ivalice Tactics Advanced games, but there's no Jump skill in XII and what's a Dragoon without a jump?) hence the Uhlan being pulled from history to fit the role instead.

How about a "Canon Jobs Only" run? There's some caveats that have to be made, since Ashe and Penelo don't have jobs that fit them well, but they do have other appearances. Ashe is a Time Mage in Revenant Wings and Penelo is a Dancer/White Mage. Though if you want to go less obvious you could do Penelo as a Monk since its the most "dancer"-like job and gets healing as well. I think Monk might be more interesting since the White Mage job is almost too good at keeping you alive. Vaan - Shikari Balthier - Machinist Fran - Archer Basch - Knight Ashe - Time Battlemage Penelo - White Mage (Monk)

I do love Red Mages. This is a great example of why

Ardor + Oil was always a great combo 😂. Plus you could get oil for the Redmage. Drain is also a handy Green magic.

Hope you grow! Videos are awesome👍

Cool I can't wait to get this game on my PC!

Ooohhh this is going to be interesting!

Ugh imma have to play this damn gane again now

Red Mages in FFXII are stupid solid. They may be slow sometimes but nearly unkillable, and Ardor is the highest damage modifier spell in game.

I love your videos! ❤

Just found you and am now subbed ❤

A FF game that actually made a good version of Red Mages. Interesting that they made them a hybrid of an Arcanist (FFTA2), Black Mage, White Mage, Green Mage, and Sage (FFTA2) classes.

if you were to play normally, what other fun job combination would you do with your red battlemage ?

Yeah, they only ever allowed Blue Mages in another area of Ivalice, in Jylland, lol.

I actually really liked the Sandsea for some reason

14:03 This moment intrigues me. 💙 It was explicit to not give Basch a board; I accepted you had implicitly imposed a limit to active party only. However, then we come to this moment, and you sound like you’re thinking free, but restricted by an arbitrary previous decision. First of these videos I’ve watched, so I’m not familiar with the “routine”, but am here out of curiosity. Really wish the Gambit system would make another appearance in the franchise Thanks for the video
