The harp is a lie.

Yeah I see and I agree it seems strange but I still find ArcBrd pretty cool. What if it makes music while the arrow get shot? this could give it some sense ^^ Anyway to me w/e weapon it uses, a DD/debuff job will be nice!

How, IN ANY WAY, does that make sense? Firing an arrow to play an instrument is absurd.

The whole concept of sticking an instrument onto a bow to make a Bard is absurd. I mean hell, if we're gonna do that, how bout we make Pugilist a Samurai. We can give him weapons where 1 of the knuckles is a hilt, and the other is a blade, and when he holds them together JUST RIGHT, they TRANSFORM into a katana! Woo!

No. The idea is ridiculous, just like a transformable instrument-bow.

I don't have to look so hard, I can clearly see where the bow begins and the cords end. SE has some fantastic concepts and designs for Final Fantasy equipment, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell its a weapon and not a instrument.

For all you harp people... when the time comes to play music, it's going to be more obvious because now matter we compare the reality that it's a BOW with and ARROW mount like what REAL hunters use, you'll still be too suborn to acknowledge it even if we waved it right up in your grills,lol!

I'm sure you'll soon be able to sing and play you sad songs in FFxiv when the time comes...

It's not an arrow mount. I also thought it was at the beginning, but there is now too much evidence against it. It's not the right size, it's confirmed to transform, it's not the right shape to be an arrow mount etc. Trust me, I wish it was an arrow mount. It's not.

My one gil can also say to them, "it can also be a 'Composite Bow' with a Harp to make a musical kill!", lol!!! =P

Nah, SE wouldn't even waste their time on boloney, unless... (nah!)

[PSxpert2011]

I think its bow/harp. Like when you want to use a bardspell(song) you kinda "fling" the notes away like arrows.
Thats why there's a grip on the harp itself, right in the middle.
Pretty cool when you think about it!

OMG I just answered to a post right above yours with almost the same IDEA,rofl! Good way to make peace with the "Harpers". I still think it's a composite bow with a design to throw you off. Crazy Japanese- making fun of the western thought patterns, intellect and rationality XD ... artist can be so abstract but very clear with their compositions and designs.

[PSxpert2011]

It's just an abstract design of a Composite bow that serves no function. Ofcourse those aren't arrows!

[PSxpert2011]

Put 'string like designs' on a Great Axe and everyone will start thinking about 'Bardudard' or 'Maraudard'. (Sigh) The way people start loosing their minds about something that won't ever be.

[PSxpert2011]

A Composite Bow that transforms, hmm...not a bad idea. Anything is possible but was benefits would that make in-game? If it was IRL, it would make good storage (fit it in your hand-bag ladies?). =D

PSxpert2011, if you're going to have a discussion with yourself you don't need the FFXIV forums to do so.
