Gunbreaker is more Siefer than Squall. A disappointing realization.

I think that guy has a "special" one and was talking about the majority of gunblades we've seen.

To be fair, the majority of gunblades we've seen are special, the Empire doesn't equip the rank and file with them.

I mean, if 'gun with sword attached' is the canon then that's that, just bugs me because that isn't our experience in game at all.
The people equipped with that we actually fight have unique combat styles, but with recurring themes across users. Lot of dashing in and out of melee, lot of dropping fire on the floor, lot of creating those magitek X projectiles.

I mean, those are also the special fights. I'm talking about the garlean throwaways who carry the regular gunblade like in the stormblood CGI trailer. Fighting styles aside, I'm pretty sure they made it clear that guy is using something of garlean design but not common within ranks.

Those throwaways are just using regular guns



There actually is an example in the original ARR intro, but even so we're talking one guy vs. the example of pretty much every other gunblade user we've ever seen or fought.

I think that's mainly from ceruleum equipment in their armor, like the arm cannon Gaius used in 1.X. Regula's The Bastard is the only exception I can think of, but there's nothing to suggest that the standard issue Garlean gunblades actually have anything special about them.
