Haha. I tend to have more respect for tanks and healers than DPS since I hate playing those jobs. Healers over Tanks of course lol.

[DracotheDragon]

tanks only have 2 sword jobs and 1 axe job, dps have 3 sword jobs SAM, NIN, RDM.

yea i miss counted for tanks, also someone said what i see which is ninjas using daggers, while some are short swords i still see it as more a dagger class, and RDM i know its meant to be a rapier but its more a staff then a sword, that's mainly with what i meant by proper sword class, (tho i will admit i did blank on Samurai )
do in my correction if gun is a tank then we would have 3 sword tanks and technically two dps

either way i would still love Gunblade to be a DPS class,

[VertoIncantation]

My idea is that they might make dark knight on par with PLD and hopefully, add gunblade and make it fight for OT position. Cause if it is another freaking DPS, it'll just be a wasted slot and make the DPS queue/life even worse than before. I love tanking, i think its fun and engaging, but if gunblade turns out to be a DumPS, i might just ditch tanking for it.

Big fan of FF8 here and the more i see the gunblade in the trailer, the more i think it'll be a DumPS and it might play like Red Mage/MCH where after a certain point, you'll add the Shot of the blade to your attacks to deal extra damage or even keep a heat level % like MCH to make extra dmg and then unleash THE LIMIT BREAK RENZOKUKEN INTO LIONHEART!

DPS or Tank it's ok with but... I wish it's a Tank Job just for be Tank ^^

Bizzaro world dancer is tank gun blade is healer and blue mage can do content

[Kogasan]

I seriously hope dancer becomes a dps not a healer. But knowing my luck dancer might become a future limited job.

Since Thancred is representing it I think Commando is a good fit... Wonder if that nutkin is still kicking around...

I feel like this is an entirely under appreciated comment, just sayin.

As for the job itself - I do hope it's a tank. I like the idea, thematically at least, of a tank that looks and fights like Regula or Gaius.

Hopefully It's a tank, now It's tanks and healers turn to get new jobs and dps turn to wait.

I’m hoping it’ll be a Tank myself. Granted, I’m very often always Tanking and Healing runs for various reasons beyond “faster cue times”. And thanks to how accurate the leaks have been so far, I have reason to believe it WILL be our next Tank. Honestly, I was hoping BLU would be our next Tank for the sake of a colored mage in every role... but we all saw what happened to BLU. (Something of which I have very mixed feelings on, so I’m on the edge on how to feel about BLU being “limited”) So at this point, I’m pinning my hopes on the Magiteck Knight. (Placeholder name for me, until the developers finally announce it)

And since I saw it mentioned... I’m still praying with everything I have that DNC will show up as a healer. It’s the only job left that I REALLY want to see added in a specific role.

Please SE. ;-;

If the Gunblade job does wind up not being a tank for some reason, Highly Doubtful, what gear would it use? I'm think a Gunblade user would share gear with Ninja.
