Sing (command)

Sing, also known as Bardsong, is a command ability usually associated with the Bard job class.

Final Fantasy III
Sing is usable only by the Bard job class. Each of the Harps gives a different ability to the Bard:


 * Minne - Raises defense.
 * Minuet - Improves strength.
 * Requiem - Deals damage equal to a percentage of the enemy's HP.
 * Paeon - Restores a small amount of HP.
 * Elegy - Raises magic defense.

Edward is the only character with the ability to Sing.


 * Lullaby - Puts enemies to sleep.

In the DS version, Edward learns several new songs, as well as those listed above. Other characters can also access the Bardsong command as long as they have the Bardsong Augment Ability equipped. New songs include:
