Squenix will definitely see the numbers of BRDs and MCHs being played in end game and might do something about it... thats all we can hope for.

All I really want to see is BRD becoming hybrid in 4.0.
We know that we never will be full DPS. So why not make us more of a support. I want more songs and party buffs. -_-

BRD/MCH is considered mandatory for every raid statics. I don't know what you are talking about.

I believe he/she meant they will be played less because of the change of gameplay. They will always be mandatory for progression I think.

It's a shame people like the originatory haven't understood why they are vital. Too many, I think, see archer and Bard as just an extremely mobile DD. That's just Square giving Bard a strong, active foundation in archer so that they aren't as combatively useless as XI's Bard when singing. Which is what makes Bards and Machninists vital, not their damage output but their support potential.
