If there was one thing i would love to see on XIV is a time mage, and please oh please give us a spell to speed our running.

[Eorzea]

I really liked Time Mages in Final Fantasy Tactics, but I'm not quite sure they would be of enough use to make them a primary discipline. Perhaps just "time magic" spells given to another discipline would suffice? Or perhaps the mixture of a Time Mage and some other form of mage/magic to create a _____ Mage.

Who knows.

I'm sure there will be some form of magic to increase movement speed (like the spells available for Bards in FFXI).

[davidlionheart]

Bards had a spell like that O_o...i had no idea...when did they implemented this? and how did it work? i guess im pretty clueless for a person who spend years playing the game lol...

[Eorzea]

Yes, I believe so!

"Raptor Mazurka" (level 37) and "Chocobo Mazurka" (level 73). I believe "Chocobo Mazurka" gives a 25% boost to movement speed and stacks with any additional movement speed equipment you're wearing.

The More You Know

[Quinn]

There were quite a few ways of "making yourself run faster" with spells, job abilitys and items.

Dancer = Chocobo Jig (increases movement speed by 25%)

Bard = Chocobo Mazurka (increases movement speed by 25%)
Raptor Mazurka (increases movement speed by 12%)

Theif = Flee

There is also tons of items and armour also some weapons that quicken your movement speed.

I'm not exactly sure what a time mage does because i've never played Final Fantasy Tactics, so I can't say if they would be good or not...but I loved what Scholars could do in FFXI so i'd personally say give the time spells to scholars. imo that is.

[Momotaru]

I've not played Tactics, but Tactics Advance, and I think I recall a Time Mage.

The Time Mage is a master over magic based on time and space. So your typical spells would of course include Haste, Slow, Stop, but if I'm not mistaken, would extend to spells like Gravity/Demi, among others.

If it's not true, it's my fabrication of what I feel is.

[Kain]

If there is a time mage i might give up my lance for a robe!

[davidlionheart]

Ive given a thought about some of the spells that a time mage could have in FF

Haste-I, II, III etc
Hastenga I, II, III etc
slow I, II, III etc
slowanga I, II , III
demi
warp
warp II
reflect- dont know if its time magic

And i guess from here ill make up some of my own =].

Time heal - returns hp before the last two hits
Time return - returns the hp of an enemy that has healed
Distortion - bends space time to damage the enemy
meele help - Faster attack time
magician help - faster cast time
future sight - raises the stat of a member, making it as if he was from the members next lvl.
Past sight - lowers an enemy stats to their past lvl.

Traits
auto haste
auto whole party trait faster mp heal
auto whole party trait faster hp heal

Special (2-hour) i guess
Black hole - instant %dmg to the enemy


Well call me crazy for dreaming =], my fiancee just called me a dork. But i still wish for a time mage T_T.

I knew about thief and equiptment, not the others though. Well i just finished playing ffxii and i fell in love with haste and hastenga, always use time magic when is available in ff games =].

Thats what i say.

[Control]

Ideas to add to that list of yours would be more warp type skills; armor warp, weapon warp, memory warp, basic debuff kind of stuff. I think the job has some merit as a general buff/debuff class. A swiss army mage if you will.
