It's literally just a name. A name that isn't being honored, even; I sure wish that summoner actually got to summon stuff, that scholars had black magic beyond Blizzard II and that bards were singers first instead of arrow flingers.Classes were the mistake though. Taking out jobs would be akin to telling people to pay cash to watch an Avengers movie and then giving them MLP episodes 1-3. Classes have less than nothing to do with the FF series, which has always had jobs as the main focus. Take out jobs, and it's a completely different game and aesthetic, one I would abandon in a heartbeat. I'm here to play an FF game, not a generic MMO with generic classes with no identity.
Summoners summon, Bio has always been a black magic spell, Ruin has always been a black magic spell, and Shadow Flare is typically a monster only version of Flare that dealt dark aspected damage, and the only difference between our bards and older bards is that older bards attacked and did damage with their harps, as well as sing. Ah, FFT Bard is still my favorite iteration...
About all I want for BRD are the Brave/Faith up spells they had in that game and I would be beyond happy.
