A challenge. Make Bard more Bard.

[Majidah]

I love how there are at least 10 posts dissing people who want higher DPS on bard yet there isn't a single one asking for higher DPS on bard

[Aerenvel]

Ya SE im gonna have to agree since there is so many who want and see it the other way. Bard should be like Edward using a harp etc, potraying a fragle charismatic nature. Trying to bring harmony to a disordered world. The roots of FF are what is rekindling the game and although bard isnt on my top wish list the pld in me cant ignore the fan's plee. lol...

Someone takes things a tad bit too seriously.

Huh? I just said that because it was the same video in the OP lol.

I like BRD the way it is in FF14 ppl here are biased from FF11's BRD >.> its a new original approach to the job stop asking for a "BRD-clone" (seewutididthere). If Yoshi-P decides to separate them which i HIGHLY doubt bcuz theres trailers portraying them lore and all that jazz i would hate it to be BRD > DNC ...keep DNC out of my FF14 plz :P.
If you wanna attack with strings do it this way:

If you read the lore of the bard it is very easily seperated just by that, after the 7th umbral era it could be rooted out to a lost art now replaced with arc/rng w/e/brd

[Aerenvel]

Or not even that could do a branch out for mutli class arc>brd using harp w/e then rng using bow but sharing gear only weapon diff making it easier but there are so many variables. I am sure everyone will agree they are doing a great job and at least entertain their fans where as most other companies ignore them.
It really comes down to being patient im sure there are stacks of plans but programing designing implementing etc takes so much time and energy.

There is literally no difference between an FFXIV archer and a typical FF ranger. It's the same exact class. If they were going to re-design Ranger and make it more like it is in other MMOs (with pets and what-not), then they might as well wait til the first expansion & do Ranger as a class with Beastmaster as the job that spins off it. That makes much more sense from a design perspective IMO.

Lol. Monk redesign!

[Kaizuko_Hakupac]

in my opinion the current BARD is not really a BARD, its an interesting take on the job ill give Yoshi that, but that dosent mean the BRD in FFXI wasent more fun to play, but then again the whole games class/job system is horrible and Alien to me lol you got:


GLA PLD ARCH BRD CONJ WHM THM BLM MNK PUG LNC DRG WAR MRD

Just give us the Basic 7 and add totally unique jobs after that, stop rehashing classes and adding a few things then calling them "jobs"

we have too many of basically the same jobs.

[Aerenvel]

I think a branch off would be easier to implement and less of a headache on gear only change the job weapon. imo.
but having to lvl other subs up to accomodate the soul Like Cecil for example Drk Into PLD shows the opposite paths that a mer soldier can take through light or dark. Mar more a primal spirit thin BST would go good Mar/War Mar/Bst
Archer/RNG ARC/BRD not only allowing you to keep your main and branch off to another role with a main established.
And just having to swap gear except class specific obviously the staple af stuff.
There is so much ways they can do this there really is no wrong answer.

[GreyJorildyn]

BRDs in D&D are essentially rogues. That's bow and/or dag... Nevermind...

Just keep asking to move backwards in time. -.-
