because if you simplify the weapons to how you said it then all classes can have a form of swords,
sword on a stick, swords strapped to your wrists,a bent out of shape sword on a stick (literal lore for war relic) little swords shot from a bow, even smaller metal swords from a gun that is shaped like a sword, have you ever had a paper cut its like a thin sword for astros Black and white mage shoot magic in the shape of swords if they wanted, Summoner and scholar write with a sword dipped in ink cullanarians use swords to make food!

gun blade offers a different verity of a weapon, to dismiss it for something else being similar is a small part daft, as long as it's fighting style is unique and it stands out amongst a crowed then it's welcome in my eyes.

This is true i just feel like since we got only 2 swords in stormblood that they shouldn't add another sword nxt expansion we literally shoulda got another axe weilder or hammer type
