Bard (Final Fantasy V)

From Final Fantasy Wiki

"Musicians whose dulcet tones soothe savage beasts...or kill them"
—Description


The Bard is a job in Final Fantasy V, which is part of the Fire Crystal job set. However, the actual shard is located on a chocobo later on. This job's ability "Love Song" can be used to great effect on Omega Weapon.

[edit] Appearance

The main cast as Bards.

The bard doesn't really look like they're going to sing. It is possible that the job's costume is designed to reflect a medieval minstrel.

[edit] Abilities

  • Job Command - Sing
  • Innate Abilities - None
  • Equipment - Knives, Harp

The Bard has a whole host of songs. Some songs can only obtained in the first or second world. While the effect of some songs are instantaneous, other songs are "continous", which basically means that the Bard will continue to sing until he/she is hit by an attack, killed, or silenced, though in most cases the effect of the song will retain even after the Bard stops singing.

  • Sinewy Etude - Continuously raises the party's strength.
  • Mana's Paean - Continuously raises the party's magic.
  • Swift Song - Continuously raises the party's speed. Found in the King's Chamber of Surgate Castle
  • Mighty March - The party regains health as long as the Bard sings. Found in Lix
