Well, I'll put my two cents into the debate. I usually play with a party of three or four, and I never play without a Rougue or a Bard. They are possibly the most powerful character types in the game. Having lock and PP skills early in the game is invaluable. Obviously, they are not combat skills, but the 'loot' you can secure early in the game will give you an edge in the types of weapons, armor, and 'special' items available.
