[Spoiler] So at the end of the current storyline...

[Eziekieal]

A certain man had his arm cut off...


I would like to place my prediction... Since guns are a thing in the expansion...

A certain armless man may inherit an ancestors special weapon...


Just calling it out here for my own reference...

[lilirulu]

Sssh! Don't go giving SE any ideas else we really will get Sephiroth in-game!

[Anonymoose]

I know Magis has a running theory based on Yoshida saying the Dark Knight was partially inspired by Berserk that Raubahn will become a DRK and have his arm replaced with magitek.

[Cilia]

While Cid can work some magitek wonders, I don't think they've advanced to cybernetic prostheses quite yet...

[Frederick22]

Maybe allagan tech ?

[Eziekieal]

The fact that guns are in the game with the expansion makes me think he'll be obtaining some type of gun on his arm. Not a full on machine gun but other types are quite possible.

The Dark Knight theory sounds possible as well. Not so sure about a cybernetic arm though.

Raubahn's a GLA by training, he wouldn't know how to wield a gun (besides, Ul'dah doesn't even use firearms, that's a Limsan weapon). More likely it's just going to be like how Kreia fought in Knights of the Old Republic II after she lost her hand early on in the game - she just fought with her remaining hand one-handed style.

I guess it also means Raubahn would have to sacrifice Tizona for a much more lighter sword as those things he has are huge, cumbersome and unwieldy.

why not something to the stereotypical pirate hook arm? Instead of a hook it'll be a sword?

I don't think it'll be magitek, but I believe it'll be closer to ul'dah's automaton technology at most

His arm was removed, his city was overthrown, the person he cared about most was murdered by somebody he thought a long time friend, nearly everybody he trusted betrayed him, and he was thrown in jail. I don't think you can even consider any 'GLA' logic behind it. And you can learn how to use a gun. Just like how our character can learn how to do multiple fighting styles/professions.

I personally say he'd be willing to use whatever he could to get stronger to get his revenge. AKA a gun. Or become a Dark Knight... Or both.

It wouldn't surprise me if Raubahn turns evil eventually. And part of the story is to redeem him.

I'd go evil if I was in his position. Replace my missing arm with a gun and give me a badass Dark Knight 2-handed blade that I can wield with 1 hand due to oversized muscles.

Psh. Given the existence of Cid and Magitek in this game, as soon as I saw his arm come off I deduced that the odds are exceedingly slim that he WON'T wind up with a crazy awesome cyborg arm at some point. It's pretty much inevitable.
