Additional Jobs for the future, a graphic, need help.

Considering Bard is an offshoot of the rogue archetype, which uses Swords, Daggers and Bows, that's not a precedent for anything.

Within fantasy lore sure but not within Final Fantasy tradition of how the jobs are presented. So the job has been bent to fit a different weapon, bard becoming more akin to Corsair than the ones that came before. You think that isn't a precedent for them to say make Samurai a spear user? its within their achetype after all. I don't believe they ever would but then i wasn't expecting a bow weilding Bard either. I just think if SE are inevitably going to have to pair Jobs with weapons outside tradition why bother forcing the 1 class x job system at all? Have jobs and classes as seperate entities, classes can still mix and match and solo. Jobs can still be more role specific but classes role in jobs would be more akin to a sub job. As well as take on the role of also determining your attack range and weaponskill access.
