Why not abolish the Class system entirely in favor of Jobs? [@ Devs]

Yes but that doesnt mean I will like it :P

Face melting paladin in FFT

Cecil from FF4 however was pretty facemelting lol

The purpose of titling something is to say "this is its main thing" if you title it "musketeer/corsair (w.e they are called..)" but 90% of the time he is using a staff, I'm going to say "Uh.. SE... WTF?"

Bard, I want the majority to have to do with being a bard, otherwise just don't bother calling it a bard.

Part of the problem is that archer doesn't speak bard like gladiator speaks paladin or thamaturge speaks black mage. So the class isn't really the best choice for bard to be linked to. Really they should have went ranger or something. And then made a lead up class to bard called something else.

I agree with people in FFXIV that in FFXI not being able to do damage was pretty sucky, but please do damage with your bard-esque stuff...

So you want more bard type skills?

Just more job skills would be a doubtful fix. The emphasis wouldn't change. I'd really like to see the knot between archer and bard untied and replaced in another class which follows a lyrical poetic suit.

More job skills for other jobs would be -great- but when the class isnt bard like which is the 'base' of each job then you wont ever have the emphasis appropriated appropriately.

Like Samurai in FFXI you could use a bow but your 99.9% of the time weapon was a Katana. Thats more of what I'm talking about. And Samurai wasnt screwed because he didnt use the bow a lot - it just came in handy sometimes. I dont mind a bard able to use a bow but it really shouldnt be the bards focus.
