Sing/Dance doesn't work with Mimes anymore. It's a bit unfortunate, but Laggy felt that it was too good, and any team using Mimes would be better with Sing/Dance so he opted to cut it so Mimes would be used for more interesting purposes.
It was a bit more complex than that. One of the big goals with LFT was to remove auto-pilot. Like...what spell do you spam with Math Skill? In classic FFT the answer is "Holy, end of discussion." In LFT it's...not really clear at all; Haste? Slow? Zombie? Don't Move? Pray Faith? Fire? Ice? Demi? Poison? Next question: what class uses Punch Art the best? In classic FFT, the answer is Monk or Ninja. In LFT there's good arguments for Monk, Dancer, Geomancer, Squire, Ninja, Knight, Lancer, and Toad Rod makes several of the mage classes...decent at punch art...I mean, not exactly good, but tolerable.
As for Mime/Dance/Sing, they kinda had become autopilot in LFT. People who got Mime basically always combined it with...usually both skillsets, and it was a very autopilot combo in-battle (compared to every other Mime combo in-battle). I still wish there was a better solution than just "the miming doesn't happen at all"--it's kind of brute force and inelegant, but I haven't found a cleaner solution.
