Gunbreaker Offhand

[Seraphor]

It does actually! Like a worst paladin! You don't have a shield. How are they going to explain how you actually tank? I thought it would be more like well you are quick on your feet and use your gun to close distance, etc. but dudes just facetanking and bludgeoning the enemy with his pistol.

Granted, with the manner of tanking in FF, facetanking is mostly what you want to be doing, but it just looks so boring.

Clearly magitek shields for mitigation, and magic bullet charges for increased damage/emnity.

I thought they would be like flying through the air and doing dragoon stuff like a gif my friend sent me one time of gunblade in a different ff.

We saw maybe one combo, a defensive cooldown, a little puff of air for lack of better words, and some emoting. There's clearly a lot of animations they haven't shown off yet.

Problem is that is what they showed off in the gunbreaker trailer. The trailer is supposed to build hype. This just deflates all of the hype, for me.

I assume this is your first job teaser trailer? Just go back and look at Samurai and RDM reveals, they're about the same level.

If you want more just wait for job action trailer.

As for the skill animations in general, XIV has always been a bit more on the tame side.
I know some of you might not like it, but is what it is.

Also I'm assuming one hand had to be kept free for 'Reloading' animation or whatever the Gunbreaker's equivalent is.

According to the way Yoshi talked you are going to have magical ammo that you have to decided how you want to use it. Which to me says it'll be used for your Mitagation abilities when you are tanking, or increasing your damage when you are off tanking. Any other speculations on how it might play?

That was probably Dissidia, where everyone is flying through the air.

I dont see how. Looks awesome to me.

I actually thought the Gunblade on the shoulder thing would be the running animation with the blade out, but that the battle stance would either be Squalls 2 handed stance or the normal Garlean stance.

I wish they were using the Garlean stance for the blade but oh well.
