Gunblade

I'd like to see gunblades, cannons, rackets(FFIX and FFCC), whips, lots of weapons really.

You didn't realize that this thread is old OOOLD....

The question is... which class should use a Gunblade...?

No i did but theres a fair few posts before mine so i really dont see why your singling me out.

The current or known future classes dont really fit Gunblade very well at all. Probbably Judge or Soldier but to be honest SE can call it whatever they want. Edit: Maybe with Magitek Knight/Mystic Knight/Celes esque job attached to it.

Limsa already has a Musketeers guild. how could a gunblade not fit to an advanced job for musketeer?

i can imagine an exciting storyline for the job as well, involving some espionage in the garlean empire to learn about their advanced weaponry, including the gunblade that they used in 1.0 already.

The very name says it all Musket-eer they use guns/rifles stand in the back line and shoot. I'm not saying it could never happen but the Gunblade is quite a different weapon to a Musket and probbably Musketeer has about as much of a chance of weilding one as Gladiators do. They would really be wasting Squall Lionheart nostalgia by making a Gunblade Class/Job that stayed in the backlines.

u mean just like a Bard with a bow-harp is different from an Archer?
i think THAT contrast is even bigger.

Comparatively no the harp is a small attachment, the blade is a big attachment, the harp doesnt change the combat style of the class in question, the blade would and if it didn't it would be a big dissapointment to alot of people i'd wager. The whole drive to play a gunblade class/job would be over the top explosive close quarter swinging and shooting weaponskills. Like the ones Squall and Seifer performed. Maybe with some ranged auto attack. I just cant see Musketeer being able to provide all that with the current armoury system and keep everything that would help it expand into the more natural job choices.
