In ffxi if you leveled up Paladin you didn't get Whitemage free.

If they want to allow archer to unlock access to bard... I'm not all that for it, but I'm not vehemently against it either... but atleast require some form of progression as the bard for it to become useful.

The jobs don't need to progress on the same scale as classes... but it shouldn't be that every level 50 archer is also now a level 50 bard if they want to be.
This is a REALLY good point. And that's the inherent problem with combining 2 polar opposite jobs in the manner that they are.
