Interesting... so instead of a regular fencer sword, you'd suggest for the Red Mage to have a gunblade, along with taking advantage of having a gunblade and possibly some skills revolving around the gunblade.

Personally, I'd rather that the Red Mage pick up and use a traditional fencer sword, but thinking about it, SE DID combine Archers and Bards into a single job role. (Much as some people seem to hate that) So... it's possible SE may combine gunblade warriors with the Red Mage, putting two into one role again.

Right now though, I'm content with just the 3 upcoming roles we're getting now. (DRK! WOO!) Though down the road, I REALLY want to see Dancer (as a healer role) be the next job down the road after these upcoming 3 roles. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the next role after these upcoming 3 would be some kind of spellcaster DPS role.
