Condensing Bard with Morphing Buttons

[Shurrikhan]

Because it makes you go faster?

Especially valuable in the field where we still can't sprint for more than 20 seconds in a minute.

There is absolutely no reason to ask for its removal. It isn't used in battle so it doesn't change anything. Just don't use it if you don't appreciate it.

Though, did Rika ask to remove Ranged jobs' ability to grant movement speed, specifically?

The button could as easily be handled by just having a passive movement speed aura when outside of combat. (Technically, it'd be better in some circumstances, as auras don't count as an action and therefore don't have that small bit of enmity on application and therefore wouldn't force the Bard into combat the moment they Peloton a player already in combat, stopping the Bard from using or further granting that buff.)

Or, to put it another way: Does Peloton need a distinct button?

If you prefer hitting that key and seeing the green pulse animation over having other skills within handier reach, then probably "yes". Otherwise, probably "no".

:: Granted, I'd still offer that as much as I like having a physical ranged in my party, I see no reason to limit that capacity to that one role -- which can be reframed, conversely, as seeing no reason to give that role that capacity. I'll take it or leave it, but the days of physical ranged being supports are long behind us, so there's little thematic sense to it unless we wish to push them back towards that archetype.
