Gunbreaker is more Siefer than Squall. A disappointing realization.

I’m a fan of GNB’s form because it actually looks a lot like Auron.

I love FF8 and all. But we’ve got plenty from Squall and Seifer baked into the Job. I will agree, it naturally leans more towards Seifer but that’s because he looks more like a tank than Squall does.

Well, in terms of using 2 hands that wouldn’t make it look less like a tank, true. But because it looks like Auron was more of a tank than either Seifer or Squall put together, I completely support the way he wields it. It’s an odd mix but it works.

I do believe FFXIV is its own thing and it pulls from the other games but it’s never beholden to them. That’s how you can get amazing combinations like what we have now.

Also, I’m pretty sure changing all the animations is just never going to happen. But this feedback may make them think about adding more 2H animations next expansion. I don’t mind either way, once it fits and looks good.

Squall was the most innately durable party member in VIII, and both ended up as knights defending a sorceress. Both them and Lightning(to a lesser extent) are present in GNB's animations.
