Regarding BRD and the bowharp...

[Babydoll]

Would be a HUGE let-down indeed. I want to sing and play instruments, not cast normal spells, otherwise I'd go BLM/WHM.

Agreed...that would be lame I hope we have more then just a harp!

SE has never had a different system for playing songs, doubt SE would do something so elaborate.

Explain what you mean by "a different system" please? :/

This thread was about us just using animations like swiftsong, instead of actual instruments...

These look different from other FFXI skills to me, and definitely involve instruments...

(Job-specific weapons are lined up for after 1.21, and we’re making sure getting them will entail a bit of difficulty! )

Yep. As for how songs will work until job weapons are implemented, I'm going to guess that the animation will be the same except you'll just have your bow. I wouldn't expect them to design an entirely different animation just for use until the weapons are put in.

I mean it won't use a system for hitting notes and such like in other games. You'll just trigger the skill and it'll probably be casted like a normal spell, only it'll be a song.

I'm so conflicted! On one hand I don't want a million inventory spaces taken by instruments, but on the other hand I want to play an entire band. XD

its settled, i want a rasta bard with optional dread lock wig.

I'm a little scared it will work like Swiftsong, where it's just like casting a normal spell. That for me would be a huge let-down

This is a post Square Enix Final Fantasy game, it's supposed to let you down, that's what they do.
