Gunblade job must be a DPS.

[Ilan]

In every FF game gunblade jobs looks pretty different from each other, look at squall and lightning both use gunblades but they combat style is complete different, squall use more heavy swings and heavy fireshots and lightning is more matrix style and fire his weapon like she is using a handgun compared to squall, they only share the gunblade, in this game they are represent more squall archetype and wear heavy armour all around.

And no, is not about quetimes, is about expanding the tank and healing choices like DD since tanks and healers mains are human beings that deserve have they fun expanded too.

As you wrote yourself, they have never really been weapons for tanks before.
For me its ONLY about quetimes except a new tank and/or healer would be enjoyable to play. Lets just imagine every new class would be a dps, the quetimes for everyone that doesn't play tank or healer would explode because everyone would suddenly play these two new dps classes. So alone because of this we should get at least a tank or a healer, best would be both. No need to start with this "tanks and healer mains are human beeings" because thats quite obvious and has nothing to do with what i wrote.
