Oh wow i didnt know there is a game like that ! where when ! where was I

and yes !! thats exactly what i want to see if they made it in other FF games this one should has it too ! ty ty for post

FF Type-0 was released a few years ago for PSP and only in JP, though I've heard rumours that it was going to be internationalised. It's my all time favourite FF despite not being a classic, and Deuce is one of my favourite characters. ^^

But as much as I'd love to see something like that, I think SE has already gated themselves out of it with the history of the bard (they were originally archers who found that music could tangibly increase morale; the idea of a bard being primarily a musician was the result of them embellishing their songs post-war to the point where the words lost their meaning, so they sung only for entertainment purposes).

Maybe we could see music-related attacks if they add advanced jobs.

Bards weren't implemented like this most likely because that's EXACTLY how SOE did bards in both EQ1 and EQ2.

Square chose to go with a class class type setup: tank, Healer, DPS. there is no genuine support class type. So bards in this game are relegated to being dps. Unfortunately i have no great words of wisdom on how to resolve this or what the heck SE should do if/when they decide to implement a ranger class. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that they will never release a player useable ranger class. Yes... yes i know there's a ranger in the Thornmarch fight. I guess they could do something similar to SCH and SMN, i could see the RNG branch off the Archer class simple enough. But to what end? Make rangers more single target focused... similar to how paladins are better at being single target tanks? Possile i guess. Maybe they could put in a thief class as a support class (take to L30) to make archers into rangers. THF could then evolve straight to ninja (similar to pugs into monks) i guess as their primary job upgrade.

lol, welcome to my rabbit hole i just dug
