Moria rings a bell but I can't place it. There were also all the Rogue style games, ascii art, later very simple graphics, just one character with a weapon encountering one beastie at a time.
ETA: oh, right, that does explain red mages. They carry along nearly to the present games, btw, although they were so absent from the FFs I started with -- VIII, VII, X -- that I wasn't aware they existed until I played IX. (Not Freya, who despite her outfit is more of a dragoon, but minor npcs.)
*swears after failing to find the official FFXII game art which showed Fran in spiffy red mage hat, which would've made her much more like Freya*
