Did you know that Squall, and Seifer's Gunblades don't actually shoot? The trigger causes the weapon to vibrate for additional damage upon striking. This is why, while you're playing if you choose "Attack" with either of them and press the R2 button (If my memory serves me correctly.) you will get a critical strike.
So since I was bored today, my brother and I talked alot about what job would be interesting, and we both like the Idea of a gunblade user. That being said, what I would like to see is a quest called "infiltrate the 7th legion" or something like that where you receive job/class quest from Cid and it involves temporarily joining the Garlean empire and enlisting in the 7th legion and upon completing some of their quests, you recieve the job/class of legionaire/gunblade user.
As a job I could see it being based on musketeer and Gld. Be able to use abilities like fast blade and barrage or volley, but also have unique abilities like possibly using different strength elemental cartridges. IE, "Magnum class, thunder elemental cartridge"
Job description:"While possessing the Sharpness of a musketeer he never hesitates to get up close and personal, diving headfirst into the fray. Preferring to stay nimble on his feet, his choice of armor is light yet must also have the bracing necessary to withstand the heavy recoil of his Gunblade. His use of elemental cartridges makes him an expert at exploiting the weakness of his foes."
And here are a couple sketches I created. The second being essentially a mini aetheryte cannon in the guise of a transforming great sword that I've dubbed a "Heavy GunBlade." I'll feel free to dream away until ARR goes live.

^_^ My younger brother actually requested that I make a great sword variant of a gunblade so I figured hell why not just make it a greatsword/cannon.
I really like the artwork ^^ good job!So since I was bored today, my brother and I talked alot about what job would be interesting, and we both like the Idea of a gunblade user.
