It's unclear how this class would have played as, but it's possible it might have worked in tandem with ACN's original 'trap laying' role).

    It's also highly possible BRD was originally planned to have been included as a class and not a Job in a different way, as Thancred was always mentioned as being a BRD in 1.0 right at the start, yet he wields throwing knives NIN-style. In ARR he's still called a 'bard', but his ability set is based on GLA accordingly.

    So why were none of these classes ever implemented (apart from ACN's addition in ARR)? I guess only Hiromichi Tanaka knows the answer to that, but it's possible the original development team just ran out of time designing their animations and abilities, and hence set them aside for 'later inclusion' which never ultimately happened.
    The original FFXIV actually had a lot of classes lined up to join in as content in FFXIV 1.0 expanded. Of course due to time constraints, certain classes like Musketeer didn't make it in. It would of been interesting to see how 1.0 played out if it wasn't in the state it was upon release. Also, remember seeing this interesting chart of classes possibly intended for 1.0's future that never happened.

    After Musketeer I hope. We haven't been waiting three and a half years for Ninja.

    The houses in the hamlets were not really guild houses. No one know what the original plan was with them.
    The shepherd sign:

    In 1.0 he was also a gladiator who said to the ladies he is a bard.
