Launch Trailer Hype Thread

Do you mean Nael? He had a revolver built into his spear, but Nero used one of those powered hammers. Anyway, if I'm looking at the right scene, it looks like they're just using shorter versions of the model Gaius used.

not to mention Nero switched to a Gunblade once he became a freelancer as seen in Crystal Tower. Gunblade is very standard issue for Garlean Soldiers eventhough SE only show them using it in cutscenes.

As fancy as the unique Guntype weapons the high ranking "Nobles" of the Garlean Army have, the Gunblade is often chosen more for being versatile with use making it eaiser as a stand issue weapon for Garlean Soldiers.

Though considering how often we see Garleans with their standard issue Gunblades and Cid's Ironworks I am a bit surprised we don't see a decent amount of them outside of cutscenes used by others.

Cid already designed a Pistol side Gunblade for himself which shows Ironworks already have the knowledge to create Gunblades and considering all the Garlean Bases that was raided and Garlean Soldiers killed, among them being soldiers with Gunblades, I am surprised there is no one getting a Gunblade in Eorzea and learning how to use it.

Guess that is just something they want to hold off explaining until we can finally go to Garlemald and have 10 levels of Job story from this one guy in Eorzea that for some reason is the only guy trying to master Gunblades for level 50 players (assuming level 50 is going to become the default level for all future New Jobs so players can access New Jobs right after 2.0 storyline in all Expansions.)
