Griever

[Burningskull]

Since we are getting a Gunblade job... supposedly... Can we also have Griever as a Primal?

this would have to imply that besides the odd mention of squall for spin off games, or triple triad, SE would have to acknowledge that ff8 was a thing, and if they do that they might have to make a remake...

HEY SE WHERES THE REMA- I MEAN GRIEVER FIGHT!

Ultimecia and Griever themes, go!

That game has such a wonderful, though criminally underrated, soundtrack.

Well Rinoa, Edea and Ultimecia made appearances in the latest Dissidia so I think SE are branching out more from just having Squall here and there throughout other titles. Perhaps the success of the VII remake could just encourage them to make one for VIII as well, time will tell...

They already HDing a lot of things in FF Mobius FF8 event.... They even got Squall to do the Balamb Garden salute...


Even Balamb Garden been HDed in FFMobius FF8 event with Classic FF8 Squall....

I'd love to see some FF8 stuff. Would be nice to see Griever in the game!

Since we have Squall's glamour can we have Rinoa's XD

..Was gunblade actually confirmed? I personally think it's a stupid idea for a class. You have Machinist, you dont need an entire class surrounding a stupid and impractical weapon like "Gunblade". Rdm and Machinist fit in to those roles anyway, RDM beign ranged + melee and Machinist having Guns.

To my knowledge it hasn't yet been 100% confirmed, but just hinted strongly by Thancred wielding a a very large and unique one in the Shadowbringers teaser, and apparently *cough cough* people have datamined references to a gunblade class already existing in the game files (although that should not be taken at face value as plenty of things are added to the game files but dummied out and never actually used - datamining especially being a big no-no as far as the ToS is concerned, so I won't say anything more on that subject).

I agree it's somewhat of a cliched class, and you're right in it being effectively redundant - there are already gunblade-like weapons in the game (Lightning's Blazefire Sabre from FFXIII is a GLA/PLD sword and many of the MCH's 'knifelock' type guns look like gunblades with a long bayonet attached to the barrel), so it's really superflorous anyway. But I guess we'll find out one way or the other in the next couple of months.

And yet we have Jobs that effectively use identical weapons (WHMs Canes and BLM Staves being virtually identical in form) and yet have vastly differing unique gameplay styles, not only in the spells being cast but also the animations of those spells.

So sure, we have a 'gunblade like' glamor options, but lets be real fair, a gun with a bayonet isn't a Gunblade. The Lightning one is probably the only real Gunblade glamor option. Just because we have glamor options that mimic another weapon type (DRK Club for example) doesn't automatically preclude them from adding a Job that uses that mimic weapon as a fullblown Job.
