Pretty sure it will just be brainless damage number.
I’d be extremely surprised if Bard gets anything besides maybe Apex Arrow scaling changes. It’s still very popular and has no issues with DPS, so as far as the devs are concerned there are no issues with the job currently.

I really hope I’m wrong, but after playing Bard all this time I have no faith them doing anything to it other than reinforcing the Archer aspects.

In an ideal world I’d like Requiem to return, some kind of buff added to songs, and Paean / Minne on GCD with a base MP cost (more readily available but have to sacrifice DPS and thus need to balance using the two efficiently)
