Why gunbreaker?

[TouchandFeel]

It conceptually translates to "Gunblade" in the French and German translations.
Revolverklinge --> revolver/gun + blade/sword
Pistosabreur --> pistol/gun + sabre/blade

Japanese translation is basically "Gunbreaker"
ガンブレイカー --> ガン (gun) + ブレイ (buh-reh) + カー (kah) --> it's literally just gunbreaker in katakana

As to why "Gunbreaker", if I recall correctly Yoshi-P felt "Gunblade" was more the weapon they used and not the job itself, and he liked the idea of "Breaker" as it conveyed the sense of someone who was the vanguard that led the charge into battle and broke through the enemy lines.

We'll find out more with the job quests, but this is basically it. They didn't want to call it Gunblade, because that's the name of the weapon. And the job originated in Ilsabard with the Hrothgar who were the Queen's personal guard. So it probably has something to do with "breaking enemy lines" or foiling assassination attempts, etc.

Tbh, in french, the "-eur" would be translate to "-er" in english, for Gunblader. Or else, it would be "Pistosabre". The -eur means that the world is for the one who wields the Gunblade. So in french, the weapon's name is "Pistosabre", and the job "Pistosabreur".
