[Dev1075]Note to the Developers: Musketeers should not be limited to pistols.

Pretty sure in the data it showed that there are single handed and two handed guns for them. Possibly being able to dual wield pistols.

Let's also not forget that Limsa's Chief Admiral uses Rifles.

No, she uses 2 pistols. You can even see her using Death Penalty (One of her two pistols) in the side quest.

Musketeers primary weapon is going to be an M2 Carl Gustav and their mount an MI 24 Hind, take that you Garlean bastards! +124 points marksman headshot!. HOOO RAH!

Either way, the names in the game are often less accurate than they may seem. For example, did you know that a Dragoon is pretty much a musketeer? They were a special cavalry based Musketeer, deriving their name from a gun called the Dragoon. They don't command dragons and I'd be hard pressed to find one carrying a lance.

But that doesn't matter. And neither does a Musketeer carrying a pistol. In fact, when people think Musketeer, they think 3 guys that are really good at sword fighting. lulz.

I don't think it would make much sense to limit Musketeers to just pistols(even though that's what I'd be using with 'em primarily), especially if we've already seen plenty of long rifles all over crates and shops in Limsa Lominsa(it'd be nice if there were more people around there to party with me ).

Now I don't know how they'd incorporate other types of guns into gameplay as opposed to cosmetic. After all, GLD can use daggers, but it doesn't get dagger-specific abilities(maybe they're going to create a "rogue" class in the future and take away dagger from GLD).

I think a good way to handle this in the future with jobs is to potentially let Musketeer unlock Corsair on its own, but after leveling Musketeer and Archer to a certain rank, maybe unlock Ranger or maybe a new type of long-distance job(nobody says they can't add new jobs to the series like FFXI did). By doing that, maybe you could gain exclusive abilities that take advantage of a higher caliber, more precise rifle.
