Start Your Day To The Soothing Sounds Of These Astounding Final Fantasy XIV Bards

It’s not uncommon to hear bards play a tune or two in Final Fantasy XIV. Sometimes that’s a light twiddling song on a flute, sometimes that means playing “Megalovania” in the middle of a crowded bar.

It’s the little things people can find attractive. For some, those are beauty marks.
