I agree that Bard is a strange job to be connected to Archer, but as other's have said, it's speculation. But if it is true, I would be a bit torn. I loved Bard in FFXI, and I would like to see that role in this game. However, I really love archer (changes and all) in this game... It would just depend on how it is done, what changes are made, which is all at this point, pure speculation.
