I'm not even an Archer, but I want that Bowharp NOW

(Re: the job gear sneak peek)

Holy crap, I don't know who came up with that idea, but it's so weird that it's awesome.

GIMME GIMME GIMME! Never have I seen such a strange and original concept.

I suppose I'm going to have to ask: So will we be able to both shoot with this thing and stroke its strings to play songs? Are all weapons useable iwth the bard job going to have the instrument and weapon combined into one?

Unfortunately we don't know that much yet. I'm sure we'll be learning a lot more about the jobs in the not so distant future, though.

Anyone played Dynasty Warriors 7 / Sengoku Musou 6? Cai Wenji has a Harp for her weapon and the design and concept for it is pretty funny - you can use it as a ranged weapon and you attack your enemies with "notes" and vibration/shockwaves from the weapon. She also uses her Harp to play tunes that can heal her and debuff her enemies.

I doubt that's how you'll be doing it here, but that concept makes me somewhat hopeful for the way Bard will be played.

You must have missed Final Fantasy II (IV).
Edward the spoony bard fought with a Harp which attacked with musical notes.
