Will bard lose it's identity/class fantasy?

[Raldo]

A Siren whose song annihilated an entire clan of Moogles. You also learn Minuet at lv52 and Warden's Paean at lv54.

My point was that all of Bard's quests in Heavensward had a lot to do with music, heck the quests themselves are named after songs.

Fair enough, I could've worded that better. I will concede that the quests themselves do involve music, but I don't recall the player character, the titular bard, ever actually doing any useful singing. We were on a quest to attempt to learn a song, so I guess that kind-of counts...

I fully agree with the OP, I'm just trying to say that it doesn't really matter (in my opinion). The reason we're called "Bard" is already paper-thin from a lore standpoint as it is.
