We NEED a "Gunblade" job, a sword-wielding DPS job is long over-do...

And just because anything is possible, doesn't mean everything should be possible. There's very delicate balancing, as well as working the whole quest line of a new class into the game. It's why it takes them so long to just come out with less than a handful of classes at a time. 'why should they have skill A instead of ability B' 'What class(es) would they work best with' 'Would this class be upclose or at a distance, or a class that has to constantly move in and out of the battlefield'. There are a LOT of questions that need to be asked when looking at new classes, and even when they have the basic structure of the class, they still need to tweak it again and again, and even more so after said class(es) have been introduced.

I'm asking all of this stuff because I've seen how individual classes being added to other games have ruined the gameplay greatly due to how rushed they were/ect, just because the playerbase thought it was 'cool' to add.

(Also this is a thread, as in an individual post you made in the suggestions/feedback to get people to post on, a forum is where a bunch of these threads exist)

Who said Samurai will be DPS?! And that it will specifically wield a sword only? I just want to see new things, and not the same rehashed stuff, over and over and over. You obviously don't want the Gunblade to make its appearance within the game as a new DPS job, and just want the same stuff and nothing else, like that somehow makes your point more valid than mine when it doesn't. lol, and i know this is a thread, i accidentally wrote down Forum twice. Don't have to point something out like that in order to somehow get your point across better, or to make yourself look better.

Yoshi P himself said that he would see SAM more as a DPS than a tank. Plus we already have two sword weilding tanks, and no sword wielding DPS, making it more likely. And finally, looking at the way that DRK works, you can tell that early in the development cycle you could tell that it was originally supposed to be SAM, and if they made SAM a tank, they would need to work very hard to differentiate it from DRK. So DPS seems far more likely.

Good points. =)

I don't think its a must but I have to admit I would love a gunblade...

Nothing is a must honestly.. But i would definitely like to see something new instead of the same rehashed stuff over and over. Maybe when we venture into Garlean territory it'll become an idea.

I wouldn't mind seeing something of this class become playable or even Squall's outfit with his weapon as a glamour.

I think they eventually would. We did get a mechanic after all though I would like dual wielding guns :P

Thankfully Squalls outfit from Dissidia will become a Veteran Rank Reward for 1,440 days subscribed or something?! So yeah, pretty stoked about that! =)

Personally, far as Gunblades go, if nothing else, I want a glamour of Regula's Greatsword for Dark Knights.
