Bard
From Final Fantasy Wiki
The Bard (吟遊詩人 Ginyuushijin lit. Minstrel) is a job that appears in various games in the series. Bards are characterized as wearing lightweight tunics and feathered hats. They usually fight with harps. Their ability is to Sing, which allows them to sing songs that have various effects. Sometimes, they increase the stats of allies, and other times, they have effects on opponents. Another ability which is attributed to the Bard is Hide, which allows them, due to their stats (usually the lowest of all classes except the Dancer), to hide from the battle. When hidden, they cannot perform any actions, but they are invincible. In some games, such as Final Fantasy Tactics, only men can be Bards - women become Dancers. In the majority of games, however, either sex can be an Bard.
One prominent Bard is Edward Chris von Muir of Final Fantasy IV and another Bard, Hurdy, is prominent in Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
