I've always said I wanted gunblades and gunhalberds to use but at the end of the day I think making them usable would sort of take away the "magic" and make the imperials look that much less special.

The imperials still got massive battle airships Magitek armour and probably more. I dont see the problem in emerging fighters who use (modified) gunblades designed by (maybe) Cid.

We're getting that too though.

From observing other titles with gunblades, I think Mystic Knight makes a good candidate.

Look at Genesis from FFVII Crisis Core. He channels magic into his rapier, causing runic symbols to appear. Plus his copies can use Gunblades.. Or Bazookablades lol

the Real first technical Gun blade was originally designed for boarding parties, be it pirates or otherwise. it would make corsair an ideal job for gunblades as there not technically pirates there priveteers. which side of the law they fall on is entirely up to the corsair.

right, i used pirate as a synonym for corsair, but the association of illegality is predominant i guess.

Indeed.

Also Naoki Yoshida said many times in interviews where Samurai and/or Musketeer was brought up that FFXIV currently has too few Disciple Of Magic classes compared to Disciples Of War and before he adds anymore Disciples of War, he would add another Disciple Of Magic. Adding Arcanist as a starting class is the simplest and most balanced way to help rectify that, and free them up to add things like firearms, katana, and clubs/mace/hammer classes.


Now I suspsect that we'll also see Musketeer added at launch. I can see lore-wise how Limsa Lominsa would go all NRA after the Bahamut attack, and open up the Musketeer Guild for everyone. That way starting off, you'll have these options (remember you can no longer start as a Disciple Of Hand or Land anymore).

Limsa Lominsa:

Arcanist Guild
Marauder Guild
Musketeer Guild


Ul'dah:

Thaumaturge Guild
Gladiator Guild
Pugilist Guild


Gridania:

Conjurer Guild
Archer Guild
Lancer Guild


Holy City Of Ishgard:
Mysticist Guild
Enforcer Guild
Fencer Guild


Every starting city would have it's own Disciple Of Magic guild and 2 Disciple of War guilds. It's not a 1:1 balance, but it is a proportional balance that makes sense ... and would be extendable to new cities.

---

Holy City Of Ishgard:
Mysticist Guild - RDM class / BLU Job problably
Enforcer Guild - RNG class / COR Job problably
Fencer Guild - THF class / NIN Job problably

This would make more sense to me.

Corsair is gonna get the goods XD
