Handguns

[Kosmos992k]

No thank you, no *more* handguns than we already have with the gun toting Machinist job. If I wanted to play a crappy first or thir person shooter I have plenty of options. Personally I really dislike guns in general, and in the case of FFXIV, I think that handguns are not something that needs to be come more common than they are already with Machinists.

How about a job that uses crossbows instead of a handgun? At least keep things with the fantasy feel I mean, who wants some mob gliding past on their bomb palanquins carrying out a drive by shooting in Eorzea, do we not already have sufficient problems as it is?

Not to argue against your point, but there ARE fantasy games/movies that have guns. I don't believe it's reasonable to think Earth (or "reality") is the only place guns can be made and/or exist. Other than that, I agree. Not a fan of the mch class whatsoever.

I expect that they will introduce one more 'gun' using job when gunblades become a thing, but I really don't like the idea that FFXIV could become more gun based.

I also corrected the really mangled spelling in my post that you quoted.

We got Xbows already covered. Tier 1 LB:I giant ass crossbow shot. Tier 2 LB: DUAL WIELDIN' CROSSBOWS DESPERADO STYLE.

Meh, I doubt we'll ever see gunblades as a weapon we use. We'll get some replicas for glamour, but nothing actually functioning as such.

Always had the framework for a gun-toter already with the musketeers, but that's something still left to the void as well.

I doubt we'll get a crossbow job, but that's like saying we'll never get a two-handed sword job because Braver and Bladedance are already in the game.

Out of curiosity, did anyone ever mention a new job, ever? OP is asking for more handgun designs for machinist, so whining about a theoretical other gun job doesn't do much of pertinence.

Play more Final Fantasy games. Fire arms or firearm-like weaponary has been pretty common in games with a similar style to FFXIV.

note that I said *fantasy* feel, not Final Fantasy feel.

In any case, FF games such as VII, VIII or XV are set in pseudo modern settings with more contemporary technology. Eorzea is a fantasy setting more in the line of traditional fantasy setting with swords, magic and bows. Guns other than gunblades already feel out of place to me. Although the fact that the gun user in this game uses guns with a more vintage, fantasy style rather than a modern aesthetic keeps it from feeling wrong.

I dont think a gun like this would ruin the already established steampunk theme this game also has going for it. I agree, modern hand pistols should be kept far far away- 1700's handguns/blunderbuss's are more than welcome.

But i must say, i very much dislike the GARO gun. At least its so small i barely can see it.

What about FFVI? Fantasy setting with technology sprinkled in very similarly to FFXIV. The world is more of a steampunk place than not, and you can't have FFXIV without that considering the Empire is completely about technology. We have airships, turrets, elevators, guns, missles, magitek armor, entire bases with switches, chemical processing, etc. I suggest you get used to the technology because that's the setting this game has, not medieval fantasy.
