The problem is that the idea of Bards using music in a magical way is what people are used to in the FF franchise... And the mix between a martial archer and a bard doesn't sit well with some folks, myself included.

It's a matter of personal taste, honestly. I also think the BRD fantasy would be better realized as a DoM than a DoW, and the archer could benefit much more evolving into something like Ranger, adding archery to nature survival skills.
