The '''Bard''' (Japanese: {{hover|バード|Bādo}} ''Bard'') is a [[:Category:Base classes|basic]] [[class]] which debuted in {{FE4}}.  Present in four games in the series, it plays two different gameplay roles in its different appearances.
 
In the [[Jugdral]] duology, ''Genealogy of the Holy War'' and {{title|Thracia 776}}, the Bard is an offensive magic class with access to both [[Light (magic)|light magic]] and the three forms of [[Anima (magic)|anima magic]].  They possess significant [[Magic (stat)|magical power]], [[skill (stat)|skill]] and [[speed]], but are lacking in defensive stats as with most offensive magic classes.  The class is exclusive to two characters between the two games: [[Lewyn]] in the former and [[Homer]] in the latter.  Bards [[class change|promote]] to the [[Sage]] class.
 
In the [[Elibe]] duology, {{title|The Binding Blade}} and {{title|The Blazing Blade}}, Bards act instead as the direct male equivalent of the [[Dancer]] class, performing [[Dance|songs]] to refresh their allies and give them another turn of movement.  Here, it is a pure support class with no offensive ability whatsoever, and cannot promote at all; the class is again exclusive to two specific characters, [[Elffin]] in the former and [[Nils]] in the latter.

== Etymology and other languages ==
{{Names
|eng-name=Bard
|eng-mean=A professional traveling musician during the Middle Ages who made a living incorporating storytelling into their songs. For many communities of the era, bards were their only real form of outside entertainment.  Bards are a common class in role-playing games with a class/job system. Their main function is to buff or debuff party members (especially in the ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'' series), but are otherwise seen as useless in battle.
