Unless it's both a gun AND a sword that happens to fire actual rounds. I can't recall but doesn't Lightning's original weapon fit that description?

Dishonored gameplay huh?

Lightnings is a sword that transforms into a gun. i think its a gunsaber?

I want the phys ranged to be Blitzballer real bad tbh. After seeing PCT make it past the cutting room floor it got my hopes up just a little.

Out of the ones listed I'd like a job that uses a flail because those are wicked visually, even if they are impractical. Seeing a dude in For Honor with one outright sold me to try that game rofl. Also Dragon Nest if anyone played that, paladin could use a flail and I had to try. Scythes and flails are my jam for more exotic yet not too outlandish options in fantasy/medieval-themed games.

Corsair still on the cards? Still disappointed VPR was not COR.

Wouldn't rule out hammer just because warrior has some thunking animations and a couple hammer glams though. Warrior also has a "scythe" for a pvp weapon glam, BLM has the Deepshadow Scythe and ofc there's the Blackbosom Scythe for many jobs. Didn't stop reaper from happening.

FFX is my favorite FF but throwing a sports ball at people as an entire job feels too ridiculous to me. I wouldn't be upset if that was the job, but I want something like dual pistols/hand crossbows, crossbow, big boomerang, etc over it.

Yeah, think you're right. Also found a video of her Dissidia moveset just to get a better idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWB4ji_aLDg
If you pay close attention, she fires projectiles on top of her blade moveset. She hurls magic though I doubt they'd let us do the same on a phys ranged DPS unless it's rune coded or something. (would be pretty cool to use a little mana). DRK uses MP as an example yet they're a tank.

I mean, Gunbreaker was considered original yet inspired by Squall. Viper inspired by Zidane. Sage and Reaper (FF Type-0?) are more original creations so it wouldn't be too far fetched if "Gunsaber" is the new weapon type.

Though I wouldn't be opposed to the Dishonored/Bloodborne job. That would be more original.

I agree crossbow+whip are too uninspiring, and BST having a whip was already passed on. None of the Garlean weapons are usable either, so there won't be an exact replica of Rhitahtyn.

Blitzball is unlikely so long as they refuse to break open the FFX floodgate, and they're currently opting for FFVII instead. With that in mind...

• ShB: GNB and FFVIII references
• EW: SGE and FFIV references
• DT: PCT and FFV references

Dudes...we're getting a megaphone.

What do you mean FFX floodgate? We’ve already had plenty from FFX. Outfits and minions from a fanfest, Yojimbo and Anima as bosses, Hrothgar as a playable race referencing a whole FFX race and named as such on a different shard with Ronso characters used as place names, and the Pelupelu as an allied society with Rin’s Travel Agency theme as their theme music.

This pales in comparison to every other FF from I-XII: most have an entire series of instanced content, a variety of characters/weapons/enemies/locales, and a plethora of music rolls. The floodgate is still intact.

Clearly we are getting our long overdue Nero gunhammer storyline. Ranged DPS, of course.
