Gunbreaker weapon size is pathetic

[Liale]

You should keep in mind the various weights of objects attached. The ff8 gunblades were rather simple, a revolver and some type of blade, the one in the trailer has quit a bit more attached to it which would make it a heavier object and thus necessitate a shorter more compact form to be able to move effectively.

Just like the forums to complain before something is out..
I am sure there will be other gunblades that you could them glam

Yah I grabbed this from later in the trailer.


Which is probably better matched with this pose.

It clearly shows the weapon is not the size it is supposed to be.
Sword handle on the miquote side is way closer to the face in comparison to the squall image.

I actually really like the design of the gunblade. It makes me hyped for what the Relic or even Primal weapons might look like. I wonder if we will get 4.0 Primal / Raid / Dungeon weapons. I can't remember if SAM / RDM got ARR ones or not, but I think they did.

I like the size myself, I don't want them to be DRK sword size etc.

The sword itself is at roughly the same angle, unlike your choice in comparison shots. The only difference being that the miqote's head is lined up over the revolver portion not the blade portion. Both blades are roughly 4-5 heads in length.

It's probably meant to be used in one hand for quick slashes, as opposed to Squall who uses it with 2 hands.

We got the ARR primal weapons for SAM/RDM. I'm actually trying to get all of the Primal SAM weapons on one of my alts with varying successes (Mainly due taking as much sweet time as possible).

Likely all the post-ARR primal weapons, so I wouldn't be expecting Ifrit's gunblade or any of the Coil crafted options.

Samurai and Red Mage got primal weapons from ARR and Heavensward, but not raid weapons from them as far as I know.

I'm not sure about Coil but RDM and SAM do have Alex weapons (all 3 tiers).

And yes, most likely since the job starts at 60, we're getting gunblade variants for everything except old relics (old relic tiers are never retroactively updated) in the 60-80 content range. Since there is no MSQ lockout, people who haven't already, will be able to play all the way through Stormblood as GUN so they need to have access to the starting, levelling and end-game weapon tiers for SB's level range. But I doubt they'll be covering any weapons within the 1-59 range, just like there are no sub-50 weapons for SAM and RDM and no sub-30 for MCH, DRK and AST.
