He does go by the name "Leon" in Kingdom Hearts though. So it's understandable if some people are confused because of that.

Sure, but people can make the difference. It's not like they saw the moody and edgy Cloud in Kingdom Hearts and believed it was his actual persona...oh, crap ! :p

Thancred lost his ability to use magic. Also, he spent a lot of time in the Empire as a spy.
If you connect the two together and the fact that garleans use magiteck weapons (which include gunblade as a very common weapon in the Empire), Thancred might very well have learned to use a gunblade and thought it'd fit nicely to replace his magic.

Also, don't forget that Thancred was a one-handed sword user early in 2.x, and had skills from the Gladiator. So this fighting style is not new for him.

it could just be thancred new gear
Lyse got two change of cloths

but having a tank with lighter gear doesn't hurt(well literally it might But..)
already have loads of armor options

It's Thancred, in the trailer he has infiltrated the Garlean empire hence the gunblade, i'm more interested in who or what the young girl he is protecting is, her costume is far beyond normal npc peasant gear.

I'm not offedend or anything don't worry, was quite exhausted and I may seems a bit too much aggresive on my answers and not as clear as I was thinking it was.

Hope I'm wrong and the job is actualy neat and add variety to the tank pool + I totaly forget about all the magiteck vibe they can put in to it. Quite curious of the result.

Worth remembering, even when he's a Tank class/job, Thancred doesn't dress the part. He started 2.x as a Gladiator wearing a cloth shirt.

I'd rather they don't release another 2 dps for this expansion, thanks.

True, BLU will be out of the main system. Don't know if he's part of the "multiple new job" for the xpac or not. and I think he'll work as a jack of all trade for solo BLU instance.

I'd say probably one on each. GUN as tank GEO as heal (pure assumption) and ??? as a DpS probably ranged cause SB brind a melee and a magic. Two job sems a bit short for "multiple job" addition.
