Request for race-specific BRD songs/abilities.

So, I know this game really likes to focus on equivalence for races so that people aren't forced into a race that they don't want to be. However! I think that a level of uniqueness is important to maintain some level of fun in this game and will help contribute to variations in play style.

As such, I propose that each race has its own unique BRD song/ability.

My suggestion for Miqo'te:
I think it is very suitable

No

No thanks.
Forcing people into races they don't wish to play is nonsense. I would rather not have to pay for all those character slots as well.

I don't mind it.
But then again I don't play Bard.

They should at least have an instrument playing animation, or singing animation, instead of a spell cast

I find it interesting, amusingly really, that people are against narrow focus, yet also dont want broad things either.

Armory system for instance, be a little of everything, or focus on jobs and be less of everything, more of something specific.

Whats the harm in having songs, call them Ancestor songs or something, that resonate within the breast of each specific kind of race. Based on their own backgrounds, benefits that make playing a certain kind of race more defining, while contributing to the party as a whole. If starting gear can be made that are specific for the type of race that is wearing them, there's no reason more things cant be done like it.

Macha, That made me lol. :)

this.

I understand this thread was posted as a joke, but I think its a great idea. Races should differentiate each other in some way. Not having the same song as your buddy isn't going to kill you.

We want you as a refresh bitch anyway.

No thanks.

Let me think about this for two seco...
