Actually I have talked about this several times in different threads including this one, and so have others.

Quote: Yoshida stated that the gunner class won't be what people expect.

Yes I know and I think that is great and makes me want it even more. I don't care if it's Corsair based, mage based or a tank with guns, I just want my gunner class I've been waiting for for 4 years.

Quote: it is very likely that it won't be musketeer

I think people mostly call it Musketeer because for 4 years that is all we have known it as. Recently he called it Gunner and now and then I'll use that term, but it's hard to end a 4 year habit of calling it something else. In short, I think most people on this thread aren't asking specifically for Musketeer which by definition: was an early modern type of infantry soldier equipped with a musket as much as they are just asking for the class with guns.

I think most are calling it Musketeer out of default. So it's not that this is being ignored as much as, it's what we are used to calling it. We don't have an exact name like Rogue/Ninja to switch too.
