These things do not go together. You can't expect players to be happy with a job which functionally plays identical to Black Mage but at significantly lower damage. So, we either maintain our mobility and do lessened damage (old skool) or they significantly reduce the gap between the two.

For someone who has both jobs, why would I choose to bring my Bard when my BLM also fills a ranged DPS slot and hits harder? This isn't even a songs argument, since songs reduce our damage further than it already is when they're played anyway.
