FFXIVs bard should be something like this.

Oh yes that would be so very nice if they let Bards perform music. :O
I mean Gridania even already has a stage, and let Bards play music stuffz at taverns and the camps outside the citys! O.O

Even if you wont let us do our own music you could give us quests which unlocks certain songs we then can play in above locations!
Chocobo Theme performed in harp/flute single intrument versions!
Go Bards! <3

And of corse for some time in teh future we will need Dancers and performable dances too! :3

*Edit: exitement+tipping=mess -.-
And yes even tho LotRO has many faults the music thing was nice.

(totally agree on concept! lol)

Now we all need to post pics of cute puppys and other super irrestistable cute baby animals and spam the FF14 team with it so they stop sleeping completely and implement the music stuffz for us! :3
But.. realy if there is time for that it would be so amazing. *_*

Well, music doesn't even play when you do the songs >.> sooo, idk anymore, I think this is pretty far off.

Mabinogi 2 might have this feature (since its a spiritual successor of the original), and by the looks of things the graphics will be FFXIV's rival too.

Step up your game FFXIV before it's too late!

Were you really reading threads over a month old? Thanks for bumping one.

Were you really reading threads over a month old? Thanks for bumping one.

Let me explain the genesis of this necropost. I was thinking about this feature today (after seeing that video I just posted) and instead of making an entirely new thread, like some people who shall remain nameless, I decided to just bump this premade one and save myself some hassle.

Is that so wrong?

Mabinogi is one of the games which did a lot of things right, like crafting or playing music.
Especially music *o*
It made the game feel so much more alive! And if you were annoyed you could just mute music played by players.
But sadly I doubt we EVER get awesome stuff like this, I also doubt we'll ever get interactive crafting too...
Seriously...this is how I imagined bard x)

@bobbygunz: I doubt though that SE would have to worry
Vindictus already has pretty nice graphics and also great physics but it seriously lacks in other departments like..non repetitive gameplay, non-story-driven content, etc.
All the things SE did better

[bobbygunz]

non repetitive gameplay... *standard synths*

They took away the few good sounds we did have, now its all screamy ear bleedy.
