[d&d]Okay, bards might not be as threatening as, say, a wizard or sorcerer in terms of raw power. I'll give you that much. But, as social characters, they can have some devastating effects on their surroundings. The sorcerer may also be a charisma-based class, but the bard's class-specific spells and abilities make them much more suited to recruiting and commanding minions, giving them the edge in combat, and manipulating their enemies to turn against each other.
A bard may not be the deadliest choice for a final boss fight, but they can certainly make getting there a lot more interesting. Trust me. Even playing a good-aligned bard, I'm pretty sure that I've managed to inadvertently deal more damage to the world around me, using nothing more than my charisma score, than any enemy that my party has faced yet. I'm not sure if I want to see the kind of havoc that a well-played evil bard could cause...[/d&d]
"The Pied Piper of Hamelin," I think, would be sort of an example.
But this has got me thinking, there really hasn't been much diversity in the villains of Final Fantasy games. Chaos is basically a hyperpowered Red Mage (I don't recall if Chaos ever physically attacks the player). Ditto Emperor Palamecia. Dark Cloud only had one attack, period. Zeromus is a caster-type, too. And Exdeath. And...
Wait a minute. Even Sephiroth ends up being a caster type, and he's supposed to be a Samurai-type class.
Is it just beneath the villains in these games to outright physically smack you upside the head, or something?

I believe Chaos does have a round of physical attacks.
