[Request] Gunbreaker and Dark Knight gap closer animations

I don't mind not having damage on the gap closer since with Lion Heart it would have been difficult to try to weave in 2 Rough Divide charges as well. So that's been a good change. But they could have kept it as it was and just removed damage. I don't like Trajectory's tinkling sound or animation and I'm disappointed we finally got Squall's last finishing move and then lost one.

Shoulda made Dragoons move a pole vault.

Yeah, trajectory has both a weird sound and animation.. not sure why they decided this was a good idea

The sound is just incredibly odd. Where anywhere in the gunbreaker lore do they think any of our abilities would remotely sound like we're stepping on pixies?

Gap closers should have stayed attacks with actual damage, but with the added requirement to actually stay away from the target to use them.

This seems like the obvious solution to me (even with the inherent risk you'll run into situations where you're just the tiniest bit too close to use the skill, though personally I'd take it over the awful DT version...)
