Two suggestions/questions.. One for a Bard RW & 2nd for a crossover

Bard comes from Archer, and without removing all the Archer actions like they removed Arcanist actions on Scholar, it will continue to inherit Archer actions and resemble an Archer more.

but that's the problem. the class is more Archer than it is Bard. You could just reskin all of the "music" abilities as an animal whistle or call, and rename the class "Ranger", and it would make perfect sense, with a gameplay loop to boot.

Namco which then later moved to work with Nintendo for the Xenoblade Chronicles series of games after Namco merged with Bandai because they felt they weren't being given the creative freedom they needed to make the games they wanted.

Square-Enix still holds the rights to Xenogears. The other Xeno titles are beyond their reach, but everything concerning the original is very much still within SE's purview.

So I was wondering if anyone else think the Bard should get reworked to operate much like how the Bard in Lost Ark does.. Obliterating enemies with magic music

2nd and most importantly

Anyone else hoping for a Chrono Trigger & Xenogears crossover event?

A Lavos raid boss would be amazing especially with the phases
Minions like Larval form Lavos, some of the enemies & main characters
Have areas from the game like Magus's castle

For Xenogears we can have a ID raid battle where you fight ID and then his Weltall
All the gears would make perfect mounts and minions

Orchestral scores from the games... I mean Square made both of the games and hearing a FF version of Red Knight...*Pitches a "tent"*

What do you guys think would go good with those crossovers?

Bard in Silkroad Online is more in line with what i envision for a Bard class.

Pure support, Grants buffs to allies, Debuffs to enemies and deals damage by amplifying notes on a harp with magic.

I wish, we had a dedicated 'Support' role in XIV seperated from Physrange.
