Gunbreaker and Dancer Job Icons

[Ekimmak]

Pretty sure it's supposed to be like a crosshair with a slash through it.

Well, if that's what it's supposed to be, they need to take it back to the drawing board.

The more I look at it, the less I see it as related to gunblades.

I mean, I don't expect one player's whinging to change things, but... I'd rather whinge and make sure everyone knows I don't like it.

It could be worse.

It could be Monk/Summoner

I have no idea how either of those jobs are supposed to be represented by their icons.



Ahh yes, three lines. Since we all know Monks are all about 3 lines.



Of course, triangle thing, no Summoner is complete without Triangle thing!

Though, from the looks of the 2 icons shown...

The heart one makes the least sense to me. I can't figure out its relation to Dancer/Gunbreaker at all, outside of a "Lionheart" reference, which is a bit of a reach for the icon for the job (Especially so given that Squall isn't canon in this universe...)

The other one, could be taken as a Chakram or slice through a crosshair (The latter being a bit weird due to its actual design) which makes some sense for either job.

So while I'll aggree that the monk icon is silly, the SMN one is a summoners horn (the thing they wear on their head) which is actually a pretty iconic part of summoner so it makes some sense

If you want to know the real reasoning behind the job icons, sometimes you need to add a bit of colour.



It's only natural for rabbit tanks to have their own symbol.

Really it's the summoner horn? I always thought it was a breath attack from Ifrit or Bahamut lol

Always made me think of the symbol of the Assassin Order from Assassin's Creed personally.

Yeah the MNK and SMN icons are a reference to their iconic weapon and headpiece. All of the job icons are a reference to something iconic to the job, whether its a weapon, skill, or attribute

Weapon: PLD, WAR, SAM, MNK, BRD, MCH, NIN, WHM, RDM (in addition to looking like a rapier, it's also a combination of the BLM and WHM icons)
Skill: BLM (all by itself)
Attribute: DRG, AST, SCH, SMN, BLU, DRK (while it does sorta resemble a greatsword, its meand to be a physical manifestation of darkness)

As for the new icons, I can see a chakrum for dancer, but I'm not sure which I'd rather have, the heart one is nice, but the other looks too similar to SAM, i was hoping for something similar to a fan i guess. For gunbreaker, I was expecting the iconic lion head with a cross.

Looks like a barrel getting cleaved to me.
