Will bards ever "sing" and play instruments

But never do I want bard to be like it was in FF11.

Too late, it already is. In fact it's worse since you can only do one song instead of two.

Wrong, you misunderstand what I mean by that statement. I mean I don't want the bard to play like they do in FFXI. Also I like the fact I can only have one song up because it makes us able to have 3 bards in the party get full buffs and fill the space of a DD if need be. A bard should never only be able to just buff and not participate in battles in other ways as well. Though I would like to see more songs and actually see it sung or played on a harp than it be a simple casting animation.

I was disappointed when doing the bard quests to find all my new abilities except one were stupid songs I'd never want to use. I'm a DD player, not a support player and I won't be your refresh bitch, nor are you having my TP. I don't think I'll ever be using BRD in a party setting. It's a shame SE has killed ranged DD. It's not even good solo since you need the distance to combo.

Killed ranged DD's? My Bard is more powerful than my Archer. I outparse my Archer damage. I don't get what your issue is.

Consider this zet. In xi a bard with out a instrument of any type was only able to support one song as well.
as it is now Barcher is with out there barb. Perhaps once you guys have access to your bow from cybertron you just might have the ablity to keep two buffs up
