Bard is the only job to have it's core game play of what 2/2.5/3 years, completely altered. Sure you can still use non-WM, but that's like saying a BLM doesn't have to stay still either because they have scathe, if you don't want to be limiting yourself and your party you absolutely have to use it in situations that don't require movement for extended periods of time.
I think the job itself is jarring.

First its like "Lets make Archer into Bard instead of Ranger! Everyone will like BRD!" and now its "Okay nvmd BRDs are dumb, lets just make them more like BLMs, everyone liked BLM right?"

The job itself makes no sense... but thats just me. I'd of preferred a RNG class.
