Red Mage (RDM) Hybrid melee/magic, quick rez utility. Limited Jobs (Solo-focused, not for standard parties) Blue Mage (BLU) Learns enemy spells, capped at level 80 (as of Endwalker). How to Unlock Jobs: Base Jobs: Start as a class (e.g., Gladiator Paladin). Expansion Jobs: Unlocked via quests (e.g., Dark Knight in Heavensward). Role Requirements: Some need a certain level in another job (e.g., RPR requires Lv. 70). Key Expansions & Job Additions: A Realm Reborn (2013): Original jobs (PLD, WHM, BLM, etc.).

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
