I like this answer the best.

Traditional bards in D&D leveled skills of fighters and theives so the use of a bow is not strange at all.

As I said before Yoshi-P must have got the bard/arc thing from DQ, and before now SE has had an pretty lame brd build until now fighting with a harp was always kinda....lame?

Would have made more sense to release Bard as a class, like how it was going to be.

they should have made a thief class and have the storyline as the "redeemed" thf that loves music and bam, BRD job is made~!

True. But they decided to go with what they already have rather than work on new classes at this time. c'est la vie.

Personally, I would have preferred to be a RNG but BRD it is. And if I don't like it, there is always BLM.

In White knight chronicles the bow skill has songs to restore mp, a little hp etc, so its not a new idea for bard and archer to be linked.

Just thought I would throw that in here.

Wasn't Edward in FFIV able to equip a bow?

Since a week from now.
