Gunblade

[Susanoo]

I've mentioned this in a thread of mine. I personally would love to see a Gunblade job versus just the weapon itself. Beserker or some nonsense like that. It would make for one of the most unique "F-F"y experiences.

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.

Who says musketeer has to stay in the backlines? Have you seen how Admiral Bloefhiswyn uses her guns? She gets right up in your face, then gives you a second or two to think about what you've done.

Then she kills you.

When are we going to get gunblade? I know a few people including myself that really want to see this implemented onto the game.

there we go with a gunblade








for garleans-only

garleans are more technical based.. while we are more magic based. but well. who knows.
would be great though. but i think it would become so popular like jedi-knights in Star wars lol ;XD

a gunblady job would be cool if you think about it.. melee and ranged attacks combined in one class.

Yeah whatever job Gaius van Baelsar is, we need it too. we haven't seen him do too much to know his abilitites, and although he's called the black wolf perhaps he could still be a red mage.

i don't think there's a danger from becoming too popular.
because otherwise the OP would get much more support

so when the thread icon turns orange to a hot topic, there'll be a dev response right? right?

With the easier to modify UI (SE words) and just plain better UI I think it would be highly possible to add abilities to items - It'd be pretty sweet to see gunblades come with abilities.

(Since I dont know how much sense a gunblade class is - its just a weapon with a gun on it lol, there are gunspears, gunblades, and gunguantlets)
