Do you remember the 2.0 speedruns? Yes? Do you remember why people wanted bards? No?

Foe Requiem, thats the answer, so what? Still going to tell me that bards main focus is mobility?
Actually, I don't remember it taking long for people to figure out that 2 BLMs for a speedrun worked a lot better than BLM+BRD.

For me it was kinda common sense from the start.
