Sword based DPS class?

have you never played final fantasy 8? its more like a shotgun/revolver. its only used during a close range attack. the 'trigger' activates during use, and YOU have to pull it. Sure they could HAVE a ranged attack, but it would be like the paladin, dragoon...possibly the marauder, havn't played that class yet. Otherwise just pure hack and slashing goodness.

FFVIII's gunblade is actually completely different in concept to the Garlean gunblades shown here in FFXIV however - here it is actually more a pistol with a very long bayonet attached to the side of the barrel, with the gun's muzzle clearly visible (End of an Era clearly shows Garlean centurions shooting at Alliance soldiers with them accordingly). Thus any hypothetical ginblade class would be more leanign to the gun side than the sword side of it.

actually the 'normal unit' ones were fighting with the same one leon used. But there were other versions yes.

if I remember right, Fencer was a Melee/DoT/agility/caster class I think from the tactics games, I would very much like this job, I think it would be fun
