    But there are already gunblades in xiv >.> like a lot of them in fact..
    don't step on my dreams of striking people with giant keys, how dare you. Also considering Kingdom Hearts is part Final Fantasy it technically belongs >.> besides.. we already did our dive into the soul opening cutscene to choose our sword shield or staff, keyblade is the next logical step since for all intents and purposes the carriage dream is the opening to Kingdom Hearts

    Lol I'm just rambling, though i do want it please don't take anything i say here too seriously beyond i want this and i want to hit people with it.

    Viera looks amazing
    Hrothgar looks amazing
    Shadowbringers looks amazing
    Everything looks amazing
    ....
    .....
    So obviously it's all a trap and the world is factually coming to an end..

    People can like them if they want, and I knew they'd show up eventually, though I mercifully haven't encountered one myself "yet". I have problems with gunblades on several levels, not the least of which is an engineering standpoint, but since this is "Fantasy" we'll just put that as an aside to my vehement hate for the weapon. Keyblades ? Hooboy I could rant against Keyblades (maces) for ages.

    Mechanically Speaking, A Garlean Style gunblade really isn't that different from a rifle with a Bayonet on it. The "Bayonet" just happens to go further and attaches across the entire gun barrel for stability. And as for "Weight" since they are arestocrat weapons only it's safe to say it's made of any of the many "Lighter and Stronger than Titanium" metals that Final Fantasy is known for. Then add the fact that they are trained how to handle them and I'm no longer seeing a valid argument.

    Now, Squall's Revolver, Seifer's Hyperion, And The Guardian Corp's Blazefire Sabers (FF13) are all an entirely different argument.

    (Also, if Keyblades were items I'd never glamour anything else)

    Mechanically, I've yet to actually see the Garlean style gunblades, I've mostly been pushed to do the dungeons and been waiting on play with friends {And thats been slow since I'm also trying to get into balmung to play with more dedicate friends of mine but..balmung.}

    Squalls, Seifers, and 13 on the whole are what I think of when I think gunblades, primarily squall over any other. I tend to forcibly forget the existence of 13 with the use of heavy in-gestation of liquor.

    I know what you mean on the FF13 thing but I use heavy metal music to brain wash it out of myself. >_>

    But to get a good look at a Garlen Gunblade just look at the ARR cover Art that has Gaius's picture on it. He's posing quite nicely with his Gunblade being completely in the shot from Trigger Mechanism to sword.
