I'm all for new skills and stuff, but changing the playstyle that much, no thanks. If you want to stay still to shoot, go BLM. Or maybe they could make Machinist be the ranged-aimed-shot job and leave Bard with it's own unique playstyle.

Of course, it's all based on assumptions and may work differently, at least I hope so.
Other than having to Hard Cast an ability, what makes the "new" playstyle of the Bard like a Black Mage? Because everyone says this and it absolutely baffles me.
