    To be fair, they are used both 1 handed and 2 handed, the weight of the firing mechanism must also be taken into account. I know it's a fantasy game but that doesn't mean a small bit of realism isn't allowed.

    Which you don't have to consciously think about with a sword swing. Any swing at the target with enough force will be lethal without any need to account for timing or direction, unlike firearms. If you don't aim a firearm, the lethality is greatly diminished in comparison to an edged weapon.

    Swings Gunblade at target, pulls trigger at wrong time. Looks at party and sees a dead healer. I can see myself doing this.

    That's actually pretty close to the original designs of FF 8 and Dissidia in size. It is only marginally smaller at best. Squall wasn't exactly a tall, ripped man either.

    Any swing
    Even the ones in the opposite direction?
    at the target
    So directed at the target? which is the definition of aiming.
    will be lethal without any need to account for timing or direction
    If "direction" is a pre-requisite, how is it just as uneeded in the very next sentence?
    Also, timing matters in both cases.

    The argument isnt if timing and direction arent needed, but which ones requires greater amounts in this example.
    But this example wasnt the original point either.
    The original point was two fold.
    (1) Why is "Aiming" being brought up? Is it because you assumed they are projectile/ranged based weapons?
    (2) If you assumed gunblades are for shooting projectiles, you are incorrect, and therefor the argument of "they need to be small, for aiming a projectile" wasn't a counter to size arguments. And i you didnt think it was a ranged weapon, but knew it was a melee weapon, then "aiming" is just as needed as any other melee weapon (which the gunblade is a melee weapon)

    I can only assume you're suggesting its not a melee weapon, because you're not understanding im only comparing melee weapons to melee weapons, and or clarifying they are not ranged weapons.

    Technically not how the weapon works. You enhance your weapon with the cartridge aether. You dont shoot bullets at anyone.

    for me its same size, you have a big zoom in picture too. And in final fantasy 8 the gunblade was not as big as dissidia game, also its 1 handed sword, biguer than that will be another 2h DRK weapon.

    im very sure gunblade of squall supose to be smaler and lighter than clouds weapon, even so squall use his shoulder to balance the weight of weapon. Squall moves are also faster than clouds moves cause of this diference. You can see it too in ff14, GNB moves are faster than DRK.

    Squall used 2 hands, just as cloud used 2 hands. (when attacking, not just holding it around)
    Also, if making it 2handed makes it a DRK weapon, then by that logic, making it a 1hander makes it a PLD weapon.

    No, do not make the weapon bigger. I love the smaller size.
