Dancers (usually the female version of a bard) also used Bows and Whips. It would indeed be stupid to throw back to FFIV/V in terms of attacking with a musical instrument :P

I stand by my previous statement.

Lol sorry to burst your bubble guys but I hiiighly doubt that's a harp lol. For one; harps don't have just 4 strings, second; harps dont have thick pieces of wood/metal going through the middle of the strings. Also do you know how rediculously hard it would be to go from shooting an arrow to playing a harp on the end of a bow with only 4 strings and a piece of wood in the middle of said strings to shooting another arrow?

This is a fantasy game I understand but.. just no..

Not to mention the fact that the Bard part of it is worked into the bow. Half-bow/Half-harp.

I never looked at the musketeer guild symbol. x.x I guess that means we don't get corsair...

I had this long buried movie memory of musketeers where I vaguely recall them using skinny swords like rapier and fence.

Either way, I think bard seems to be a wrong job progression for the Archer class. But if we are getting it, then there is no changing it :P

Aye i dont believe i've ever seen the 3 musketeers use anything but rapiers they were more like fencers than anything so it is a bit of an oddity. Maybe someone just didnt want them running around gunning people down /shrugs.

edit: by someone i mean the people who wrote the films books w/e or perhaps musketeer was their profession in a war they served in but after that they didnt handle guns.

I don't know man, http://i56.tinypic.com/2h81fs5.jpg just because it's missing 1 string wouldn't mean anything. People would complain that it would be too "complex" to play if they make a harp with all appropriate amounts of string.

agreed, bard should have been an independent class or a job to a more suitable class.

You wouldn't have to go back and forth, since they would be two separate... hmm I'd say jobs but the other is a class lol

What you say make sense though

Look closer at the picture, that "piece of wood" as you call it! Is not in the middle of the strings its the back of the harp... it's a handle, so the strings are in front of it. Also there would be more than 4 strings, the "WOOD" (handle) is blocking view of at least 2 strings it looks like. So seems like there is 6 strings, again this is concept art. (Google 6 string harp.. I found like 1 lol)

am i the only one that thinks that bow looks stupid, bows are big enough, now they'll have a harp hanging off them,lol.
