    Agree, new animations and names would make more sense and I doubt it would cost much in terms of development.

    Obviously archer/brd needs completely new limit breaks though which are more in line with their role.

    You mean, the support the player base refuse to see as support, or the healing over time they don't have yet ?

    You'd guys be surprised how appropriate the bard LB might actually be. If I remember correctly, in the last bard quest (level 50 one), Jehantel uses a song that restores a small amount of HP over time. One could argue this is simply because they want a way for the player to survive without a healer, but if you pay close attention, all other NPCs in this game just cast cure regardless of class/job to keep you alive. This song Jehantel uses has it's own animation and own icon. It's very possible this will be one of the job skills once the level cap is raised. It makes sense as well, as we have a song for TP and MP, it's only logical HP would be the next in line. Thus, perhaps SE was thinking ahead when they gave Bards a healing LB and it wasn't just out of pure laziness.

    I'm bored of BRD's LB being a heal :/ its assigned the DPS role therefore NEEDS a damage LB. If main DPS goes down (in a 4 person party) it can be a pretty long fight x.x

    Well, the thing people need to understand that BRD is support. That's what they do. Yes, they are considered DPS, but they also help the party. In order to do that, they need to sacrifice DPS. Bards sing/play. So for them having the healer LB is kinda fitting. How many times people experienced a duty where both the healers died? Here comes the BRD activating LB3 to save the day. You ain't gonna take that for granted, right? Now as for them having a damage lb; I think it be more fitting if another job similar to ARC gets it. AKA Ranger. So honestly I think BRD is ok with that LB. If ranger ever come, then yea, let's give them a long ranged LB

    We already have plenty of dps that will use the LB, Bards do not need it thats just over kill at this point. Too many times when both healers drop and the bard is there to save the day. Leave it as is but change it so every class has a specific LB animation. Because seeing a monk pull out a sword is kind of.... yeah.

    Its kinda baffling they went with generic ones for each role. There are so many awesome class specific LBs in other FF games to draw from.

    technically, bard is a support role. a healing lb makes little sense.

    i would rather have bard be a three tiered LB that implements the lute.

    like a buff that combines the effects of all three battle-songs for a short period of time, with a tiny buff at one and a full restore + x time massive elemental resistance down for enemies at three.
