 | | Bards are the most desirable class for experience parties in Final Fantasy XI because of their MP regeneration songs as well as their stat boosting songs. | | | Bards in the Final Fantasy series use songs to cause effects, often strengthening the party or weakening the opposition through temporary stat reduction. | | | Final Fantasy (Japanese: Fainaru Fantajī) is a popular series of role playing games produced by Square Enix (originally Square Co.... |

| | Final Fantasy XI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Bards are particularly favored for their area of effect (AOE) sleep song and their group MP regeneration song. | | | Final Fantasy XI's Player versus Player (PvP) system, is a unique system where players do not incur the loss of experience points. | | | Monster Player Kill (MPK) is a method by which a player lures an aggressive monster to attack another player. |

| | Final Fantasy IV is a great game to see from what base the current games developed. | | | Final Fantasy IV is a great game to play through during a boring weekend when there is nothing else to be done. | | | In hindsight and with the re-release of the game, we now realize that the game was not original in any sense. |

| | What makes the Final Fantasy series unique is how every game sequel uses a different world from the game before it and different this world, but usually maintains the same game engine, game play, and some of the different kinds of items used in the games. | | | Final Fantasy I is the game that started it all. | | | Final Fantasy Tactics is a strategy game with a basically infinite cast of characters. |

| | New Bard Character Class |
| | Since this bard is obviously too powerful for use as a player character, the aspects of the skald and the troubador were combined with it to create a toned-down version suitable for a new character class. | | | Of all the classes of AD&D characters described in the Players Handbook, the bard is surely the most cumbersome and awkward for both the player and the DM. | | | One interesting sidelight of the bard class is that if a player with a bard character has the ability or inclination to write or recite short poems or songs for particular situations, he should be encouraged to do so. |

| | The Bard - Jack of All Trades, Master of Hearts |
| | Not only was it my first time playing a male player character in a group, it was also my first time playing a bard. | | | Many of the bard's most useful skills are based on dexterity; creating a bard with a high dexterity aids not only his skills but his armor class (in a way that those with heavy armor cannot easily achieve). | | | A player will have to consider their group when making a bard or trying to expand the bards they already play. |

| | Bard's Tale (1985) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In 2004 they released their first game, also titled The Bard's Tale — an irreverent console-style top-down action game which pokes fun at fantasy role-playing games such as the original Bard's Tale. | | | The most important character was arguably the bard, whose magical songs functioned like long-lasting spells and affected the player's party in various ways—such as strengthening their armour, or increasing their attack speed. | | | In fact, the reason he was not involved in The Bard's Tale III was because he decided to go back to university to study philosophy and theology. |

| | Kismet's Bard, Version 1.0 |
| | All of the spells that a bard casts are considered arcane spells and starting at fourth level (and every four levels thereafter), bards can swap out one spell that they know for one spell of the same level that they don't know. | | | The skills of the bard most often involve charisma and dexterity, and in order to have many skills a bard must have sufficient intelligence. | | | Bards are not always friendly to each other and may even try to hinder one another in order to gain favor, love or money - or just out of spite. |

| | For example, Final Fantasy IV on the Super NES also suffered from translation problems in the script when it came out in 1991; many fans of the game often identify the line "You spoony bard!" as one of the greatest ever in a video game. | | | While Final Fantasy II is no longer a truly "unreleased" game for English-speaking audiences, this original translation serves as an intriguing footnote to the game's history. | | | Final Fantasy II ultimately saw official release in America when Square remade it as one of two games to appear on the Final Fantasy Origins compilation for the Sony Playstation in 2002. |

| | The bard may play this spell-song for a number of rounds equal to his or her Constitution score. | | | The bard must sing, recite poetry, or play an instrument for three rounds, and then make a skill check in the weakest of his or her mandatory skills. | | | Always eager to expand on the game, I read about this optional character class, seeing how it compared with bards from other game systems. |

| | Character Class: Bards with Class |
| | Below are several assets you have going for you when you play a bard. | | | As a bard, you can make a big impact on the game by working through others, so be prepared to lend your support whenever you can. | | | Most of them (such as Bluff, Diplomacy, and Sense Motive) involve character interaction, but bards also have access to stealth skills (such as Hide and Move Silently), informational skills (such as Decipher Script and Gather Information), and movement skills (such as Balance, Climb, and Jump). |

| | Final Fantasy XI: Online - Ferrago |
| | Final fantasy 9 was also exelent but it felt like playing with characters in pre school. | | | I think that final fantasy 11 may [B]not[B/] be as good as the rest because they cannot give a character a background so to speak. | | | Given that a game such as Everquest has sold over half a million accounts, I wouldn't count the PC market as "small." The people previously accustomed to persistant-world games will be the most likely to play this (majority of AC and DoAC players are current or ex EQ players). |

| | hubris highway - final fantasy 7 racing |
| | The similarity of David Bard and all humorous devices used forthwith to any persons, living or deceased, is purely intentional. | | | From there, the players re-synch and the player with the best game time going into the fight with Bizarro Sephiroth is basically the winner. | | | Sure, the translation sucked, the characters were kind of weak, and chocobo racing get a little tedious, but I still get a little misty every time I hear "Interrupted by Fireworks." There's just something about the game that hits you where it counts, and that's what makes it so awesome. |

| | The Bard's Tale - Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews - The Armchair Empire |
| | Instead of choosing from a variety of characters that specialize in either long-range or melee attacks, the player's only option is the titular bard, this makes sense thematically, but really hammers the game's replay value. | | | Regardless, it's nice to have the Bard's Tale name out there again, and the game is certainly good enough to find a set of fans (maybe even a large one) and that should mean more Bard's Tale products in the future. | | | The farther along in the game, the cooler the beasts at the Bard's disposal, but there is really something disengaging about depending on hirelings to whack the bad guys. |

| | Four Fat Chicks -- The Bard's Tale Review |
| | The Bard's characteristics are the usual DandD-type categories like luck, stamina, charisma, etc. There are 25 tokens in the game; I only managed to find 17, I think, and I felt like I covered every square inch of the terrain and took all there was for the taking. | | | Once the Bard gets to a certain point about a quarter of the way through the game, he is unable to revisit old locations. | | | The Bard gets killed, often, but mostly in the early part of the game. |
