Will bards ever "sing" and play instruments

[Darkhaund]

Will we ever get unique animations? Or do we will have to settle for the plain, generic and crappy hand in front of our face for ever?

LOL you say this like you have had to put up with it for months.

Animations will be worked on up until 2.0 and beyond.

I've been pushing it for a long time now.

Yeah, I was super excited about Bard and did the quests only to find out that there's nothing bard-like about it. I was horrified and distraught and almost quit until I remembered there's not a better modern MMO around right now, and that I love this fracking game too much to quit.

I really do hope they make it play music and sing for buffs because the spell animation is terrible and the class feels nothing like how a bard class is supposed to feel. Someone needs to get word to Yoshi-P to fix it and make a music system so I can play the Spirited Away theme where my LS hangs out.

Bard should have been a future class. They could have given Archer another support job, one that better fits it.

[Rokien]

I would have to agree, they should have made archer musketeer

I would like them to sing or when we get the "Bow Harp" play that beast. But never do I want bard to be like it was in FF11.

Too late, it already is. In fact it's worse since you can only do one song instead of two.

I hope not I like it the way it is personally. The more bards you have the more bard aura's you can have.
