Ya Know....

Ya know, on the one hand I'd be fine with us DPS people not getting anything now. We had two deeps in Stomblood, Ninja is better than ever (screw HW ninja) and tanks and healers really need new toys.
But there is no way in hells the gunblade job will be tank. Gunblades have always been two handed weapons. Or used with no off hand at least (Jake is the only exception who dual wields.)

So Gunblade class as tank would be:

The third out of four tanks to use sword.
The third out of four tanks not to use a shiled (the icon for tanks)
The third out of four tanks to use parry.

No way. We will have another surprise class for tank. Or Dancer as the evasion tanks and something else as the surprise healer

the two could share a Fencer INT set

That's not how you spell pimp.

To your point about Gunblades always being a 2 handed weapon as a reason it couldn't be a tank DRK would like a word. (Secretly tho I hope you are right.)

I do hope Squalls revolver or Lion heart is a glamor weapon for Gunblade tank like chicken knife was for RDM

FFVIII: Squall used his with two hands, Seifer with one hand.

XIII: Lightning used hers with one hand.

XIV: Gauis/Regula/Fordola/random Garlean commanders use their's with one hand.

Thancred: Shown pulling out a gunblade about the size of a PLD weapon, which is one-handed.

In Dissidia Squall also uses his gunblade with one-hand quite a bit.

You might be JUST a bit off-base about gunblades always being two-handed.
