Title says it all really. I'm looking through most gunbreaker weapons so far, but i cant believe there aren't any that are based on the imperial ones. Are there any that I've missed, or are there actually no gunblades based on the imperial design? I'm trying to put together a glamour, you see.
I understand its early, so a few more gunblades might be thrown around in a patch or something.
The starting gunblade actually looks a lot like a Garlean gunblade in that it's clearly a pistol with a greatly exaggerated bayonet attached (albeit the 'gun's' muzzle has apparently been disconnected from the barrel, and clearly has a gap between them, the firing chamber is also at an odd angle from the barrel, thus making it physically incapable of firing a bullet like an actual gun), meaning it is probably indeed a Garlean weapon that the hrothgar salvaged and exstensively modified into a GNB weapon.
I'm not sure if there are later gunblades in the same style though, as the ones I've seen all seem to be more FFVIII inspired.
Damn, just that one? Ah well, thanks for the response!
Yeah, so very few options on gunblades.
Most models look very FF VIII, since the Gunbreaker Job NPC (and Yoshi-P in an interview once) said the stuff the Garleans use aren't true Gunblades, rather Bajonets/guns with a blade attached. Gunblades in the context use the ammo to make the blade vibrate, Garlean 'gunblades' use it to shoot.
Tl;dr: As Imperial Gunblades are seen as a different type of weapon than the Gunbreaker ones, there isn't really a similar model and probably won't be too soon.
Maybe someday we will have a magitek job.
The starting one, and I think one or two others of the crafted 60-70 ones, looked close enough to a garlean style. But most of them are going to be FF VIII based. The lower level ones are your best bet.
There is a mod somewhere that turns the Ryumaku Gunblade into a Imperial Gunblade. But outside of that, the starter one generally is most similar to what the Garlinians would have, minus the odd angled barrel.
