Let's start with BG-57's Review.
Bard
Prerequistes: Level 4 Summoner, Level 4 Mediator
Role: Support
Sprites: Males only. Wears a headband and green cape over baggy pants and high boots.
Default Weapons: Harp
Default Helmet: Hat
Default Armor: Clothes
Compatible: Works well as a support skill in a frontline job like Knight or Lancer
Sing
Key: Must Have Useful Pass
Angel Song: Restores MP to allies. Nice, but the amount of MP restored is low.
Life Song: Restores HP to allies. Again, the amount of HP restored is low.
Cheer Song: Raises Speed of allies. Very nice when it hits. Good for extending a battle for gaining JP.
Battle Song: Raises Attack of allies. Useful for a warrior party.
Magic Song: Raises Magic Attack of allies. Useful for a magic using party.
Nameless Song: Adds Reraise, Regen, Protect, Shell, Haste to allies. Very nice. Sadly, works less well than MBarrier, which sticks one ally with all of these.
Last Song: Raises CT of allies to 100. Helpful is several party memebers are slow.
MA Save: Raises Magic Attack when hit. Useful for a spellcaster.
Face Up: Raises Faith when hit by magic. Improves magic power.
Move +3: Get this! Certainly one of the best movement related abilities in the whole game. Pity only males can use it.
Setups:
Wagnarian Opera?!?
Try equipping a Lancer with Sing as a secondary skill. They can pound enemies up close in meelee or at a distance break into song! It looks like something out of Tristan and Isolde or the Ring Cycle operas.
Jump
Sing
MP Switch
Concentrate
Move +3
Javelin (II)
Venetian Shield
Grand Helmet
Maximillian
Genji Armlet
Overall Rating: 7. Although they make a nice support characters, the positive benefits they provide do not always counterbalance the loss of a frontline character. Worth going for just for the movement bonus though.
