If they made this 'gunblade' class, from how you're describing it it wouldn't have the highest up close or long range power. If it could do both, what would cause it to stand out compared to other classes?

Pulling a trigger whenever you attack, you don't specify if it's with a skill or an auto attack, not to mention it sounds like it would be a bit annoying either way. We're already getting a gunner class that everyone has been wanting for a long while now, but I don't really hear people saying much about a gunblade class. Plus I have a feeling people are wanting a few other jobs before a 'gunblade class', i.e. classes from Final Fantasy Tactics/Early FF games that were either unplayable, or only in that one game (Like the Astrologian class)
