The only bad thing about the Red Mage is it can't get higher level spells and is not as potent with the spells he has as White Mage and Black Mage are with their respective magic. It is an interesting set up, one that is more challenging without a great healer. I tend to stay away from using more than one class in Final Fantasy or any game in the series with a job system. I would have switched a the Fighter or Red Mage for a White Mage.
