Black and white doesn't make red, but these mages are equally skilled at both types of magic.

Casts black and white magic spells up to level four!

D's Journal job description.
Red Mage job icon.

The Red Mage is a job in Bravely Default. It is obtained by defeating Fiore DeRosa in Florem.

Taken almost completely from the constantly appearing Red Mage in Final Fantasy lore, the Red Mage in this incarnation boasts a balance of both White and Black Magic, as well as a better affinity for physical attacks than either of its counterparts.

The Red Mage has significantly better stats than the White Mage or Black Mage in most areas, at the cost of slight reductions in MP, Mind, and Intelligence. For this reason, players interested in the White Mage or Black Mage roles may wish to rely instead on a Red Mage with Staff/Rod Lore as a supporting ability. Although the Red Mage only learns magic up to level 4 with their B/W Magic command, White Magic or Black Magic can be selected as the job command to gain access to higher level magic. In addition, the Red Mage has support abilities which automatically increase BP when certain conditions are met; these abilities go well with nearly every job and character setup.

The Red Mage relies almost entirely on swords to deal physical damage, but still supports rods, staves, katanas, daggers, axes, and spears almost equally.

Appearance[]

Like the name implies, the Red Mage wears a primarily red outfit and features the long, flowing robes that are characteristic of a mage. Like its own Performer and the Dancer from Final Fantasy V, the Red Mage sheds its traditional feather motif and adopts a rose-oriented one.
