I suspect part of what makes it difficult for single-protagonist games is that healers need a party—you can’t really have a solo healer going out and vanquishing monsters because their talents are primarily for restoration rather than vanquishing.
That said I love playing them and also appreciate that they’re making an appearance here. >_>
Sure, but at some point that means they’re actually a hybrid? If they can flip from healing to just-as-good offense so easily then that means they’re a balanced caster, not a healing-skewed one.
I guess it depends on what you mean by “healer”. I generally take that to mean low-power, indirect, or non-existent offensive abilities—if they can do both defense and offense then they’re a red mage instead.
