Imperial class?

There are rumors that Yoshi-P is holding off a GunBlade Job release until we can finally enter Garlemald but those are just rumors.

If rumors are true then we can expect a Gunblade Job in 5.0 (assuming 5.0 is Garlemald since only way into Garlemald is through Ala Mhigo which the game has been strongly hinting Ala Mhigo for 4.0 since 2.0). if not then meh at least we get new Jobs either way.

Baseless rumors are worthless.

It is just a rumor. No need to get all aggressive over a rumor that may or may not be true.

Except almost every rumor that Yoshi-p has alluded to has been true or really close to what he had hinted at. Thing about Yoshi-p is that he will earnestly look into actually accomplishing the seemingly crazy ideas he blabs about. The only issue is that the actual execution of his ideas tend vary from the original concept. DRK, NIN, MCH, Gold Saucer, Chocobo racing, and the Au Ra were all ideas that were hinted at pretty early on to be "possible" in the game; now look where we are.

If he hinted at a Gunblade job being part of whenever we go to Garlemald, it is very possible that we can see it as early as 4.0. Everyone keeps on saying "4.0 is totally Ala Mhigo", but Ala Mhigo is technically Garlean territory. HW was not just Ishgard; it included the opposing nation of Dravania too, so we could very well see Garlemald in the next expansion. There already character models for gunblades and it was revealed the Gaius was not the only one in the empire, or even the only Legatus to specialize in the discipline. So we could see a gunblade guild in capital of Garlemald or maybe the disillusioned gunblade master will defect from the empire and teach us his ways; either is really possible.
