That's a dumb point. Because the Machinist in Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward is, you know, very very gun focused.

I get that you don't agree with, or probably just flat out don't like, a character named Barret Wallace being a Machinist, albeit in a game where Machinists use guns and turrets (which are also, you know, guns) to damage and debuff mobs. I totally get it.

I get that you're a Machinist purist, or whatever, and you feel like the name Edgar or Vincent or Mustadio or whoever would tickle your fit better. I do.

And in the context of this thread, as it relates to this specific version of Final Fantasy?

It means absolutely nothing.

I'll see all you Balmungers in Heavensward with my new shiny gun(arm-ament).

Cheers.
