I really don't understand the use of the word "Warrior" in this world

[YukikoKurosawa]

It's like the Bard situation, where there is the minstrel type who are travelling musicians earning coin by singing in taverns and the like... and the actual Discipline of War (Job class) that are Archers who started singing songs in battle to inspire their comrades - two seperate concepts which also are similar.

I really don't understand why they didn't just make Archer transition to Ranger and instead made them become Bards. Though, could this be like the Paladin class fantasy problem (They're just Gladiators with holy-themed abilities) where it's simply an issue of Japan not having or understand the concept of a Bard because it's a western thing like Paladin? By that I mean they fundamentally did not understand what constitutes a "Bard" and thought making a bowman who also plays music made sense. Sad that thanks to the way jobs are designed we'll never get a proper bowman class because we can't have two classes who use the same weapon.

Unless they go the route of Arcanist and have Archer branch into Ranger as an alternative and still use the same weapon/animations.
