Shadowbringers abbreviations?

I'm for ShB (I just prnounce it Shadowbringers in my head when I read it, really), and I guess I kind of started using StB for Stormblood.

I just call it SH.

I'm still using "5.0" if I have to abbreviate, or writing it out in full.

So far, the vast majority have been using ShB or SHB for Shadowbringers.

Dancer is most definitely DNC.

Gunbreaker will likely be GNB.

I hope Gunbreaker is GUN.

After all, Ninja is NIN and not NNJ, Astrologian is AST and not ASL. Warrior isn't WRR, and Samurai isn't SMR.

MaCHinist = MCH
DRaGoon = DRG
MoNK = MNK
PaLaDin = PLD

GuNBreaker = GNB

There is most definitely a precedent for it.

Then again, Paladin isn't PAL, Monk isn't MON, Dragoon isn't DRA, Bard isn't BAR, Machinist isn't MAC, Summoner isn't SUM, but Scholar is SCH, so you have 5 jobs that take the first 3 letters and 6 jobs that don't.

If we take a look at the two-word job names: Dark Knight isn't DAR, White Mage isn't WHI, Black Mage isn't BLA, Red Mage isn't RED, but Blue Mage is BLU, so 1 job takes the first 3 letters and 4 that don't.

ShB

Dnc

I wasn't inferring any trends, just highlighting that there's no hard and fast rule, that there's no reason it couldn't be GUN.

GNB looks way more aesthetically-pleasing than GUN, GUN is meme-ish looking, can't really see them going with an abbreviation that silly (no matter how cool it'd be). As for Shadowbringers I straight up type the whole thing out or I'll get confused.
