Bard ~ Job Manifesto

[Karbuncle]

Some of my favorite FFXI songs are the remixes done by the Star Onions:

Sanctuary of ZI'tah (Star Onions)

Gustaberg (Star Onions)

"Assault Theme" (Star Onions)


Theres also this from the Black Mages:

I like the second one better, Nostalgiabomb, Dunno why, Distant Worlds always makes me tear up...

Edit:

Non Final Fantasy related?:

Wasn't going to click on it because I was just skimming through before getting ready to level NPC, then I saw Karbuncle said it was a RickRoll...

What a silly waste of job discussion space. Those last replies should have went into general discussion and has nothing to do with bard.

Check Page 10. All of these posts are in line with a Rep response. If you wanted the Discussion to continue about BRD, try adding something other than a complaint.

I dont know if anyone's noticed yet, but there are also 2 other 'new' songs that the dev's havent talked about yet...

Chocobo Hum (Bar-paralyze)
and
Cactuar Fugue (Bar-gravity)

I say 'new' because they're currently not in the old spell list, but they are on the test server... i'm thinking this may be the case of 'Banishga III and Banish IV' where they were going to be implemented, but never got around...

I think you may be right. If you do /recast "Chocobo Hum" or /recast "Cactuar Fugue" on a normal server it doesn't come up with a command error. They may already exist but were never given scrolls or added to bard mob's spell list. I think the devs enjoy paralyze owning playable characters.

@ Karbuncle, just because he's a rep doesn't mean he can derail the discussion with idle chatter. "what music people like" IS a general discussion topic. Just like when people talk about gear choices... This topic was "manifesto" discussion. NOT being a bard I wanted to see what people thought of actual/wishful abilities and the "future" of the bard job. Not musical likes.

Not that this will make any sense realistically, but what if bards could equip "musical instruments" like melee weapons and strike mobs...with an additional sound? For example, the bells..could "ring" as they strike. I also don't mean "fun" weapons, but musical instruments that actually cause good damage.

I see where you're going with that (Edward from FFIV!!! <3), but do you really think they'd implement something like that now? :/

They already have similar fun event weapons like that. So let's be realistic, that's way more than likely not going to happen.

Personally I think SE should look into fixing up Pining Nocturne. The fact that it can't be stacked with a Whm/Rdm's Addle spell just isn't like Brd at all. I always liked fact that Brd could always add to others with their debuffs (Ex. Carnage Elegy adds to someone casting Slow on the same Mob, Threnodies stack with Ninja spells, Requiem adds another DoT (when the mob isn't immune lolol...)).

I hardly doubt that if Addle/Pining Nocturne would stack it would be all that groundbreaking, so why can't it stack like all other Brd Songs? I really hope SE looks into fixing this.
