Musketeer Needs a Job

[Duelle]

Most people are predicting that Musketeers would be red mages due to the french motif that both of them symbolize (Rdm uses rapiers and feather hats, Musketeers... the name itself).

Except the motif of the french musketeer is not anywhere close to how Limsa's military dresses and thus doesn't fit their aesthetic. It would look really out of place.

It could have Hide as its job command like edwin did from FFIV

Fixed.

And to the above pictures, you can post pictures of a bard using 50 different weapons, and you can do the same thing with every other class in this game. Doesn't really make a difference, lest I go find some pictures of paladins and 2 handed Swords/Axes/Maces, Crossbows, daggers, handaxes, handmaces, staves, and we can discuss some changes there as well.

Simply, the FINAL FANTASY bard is musical instruments for combat, mainly the harp.

Considering XI's PLD was able to use almost the same number of weapons as WAR before they changed that, it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to see a PLD with an axe or mace. The axe would look iffy because I find axes to be a little barbaric, but I can let that slide. I got overly used to paladins and maces because of WoW, so that's not much of a stretch either.

This being said, the XI's Bard was also stupidly rare and gave way to the princess bard because its gameplay was something few were actually willing to put themselves through. If built-in DPS options with a bow (not to mention returning the bard to its status as a badass instead of the pansy we got used to in the FF series) helps get people to play the job, I say we win as a whole in the end. Even moreso if encounter balance will take having a BRD in-party into account, as chances are party leaders won't be killing each other just so they can have the sole bard in LFG join their group.

On topic, Corsair. That's really the job that would make most sense.
