Bard has always been the most player base Job in FF14 since 2.0 due to how mindless it can be with gameplay.

Easiest Job to pick up and requires the least effort to play in this game due to always being at range and mobile with very little consequence, well except in 3.0, thus less stress and less mental requirements to play

That has never been the case. BRD in ARR was among the least played classes if not the very bottom as they had extremely subpar DPS due to being designed to be a support class. This led to pretty much every raid static needing to find a BRD above all else.

In HW they regained some popularity once they had better DPS, but have always been somewhat around the middle of the pack in terms of popularity.

In raid tier yes but for casual content is was quite frequent to run into Bards if not often both DPS slots are Bards.

Heck back in 2014 and 2015 Bards population rival summoner and Dragoon


i hardly call that the least played Job in FF14 when Monk is the least played Job back in 2.X
