Gunbreaker weapon size is pathetic

[Ramesses]

While i don't approve of us getting another sword user...

This Gunbreaker job is already happening... pre-orders and all...and you still don't approve? But why? Because you think the gunblade is just a sword?

[Makeda]

It's the least realistic weapon in the game to begin with; all too closely mirroring a failed renaissance suicide machine...

So this is the last weapon to be nitpicking anything over.

Because we have way to many swords in game but its 2 late so it doesnt matter

We got sam,red,drk,plly, technicaly nin uses shortsword kinda, and now gunsword lol. I knew it was going 2 happan eventually since the entire army of the empire uses them.

But i don't approve because a large part of are weapon choice is sword big sword small sword, sword that becomes a staff, a sword that is also a gun. Then you got a sword and shield. So srry i disapprove of us getting a new sword for a long time... atleast for 6 expansions.

We need more piercer , chopper,smash weapon types.

Yes, because AST's globes are totally realistic in every sense of the word. Or using a book/tome. Or palming two bladed weapons for fisticuffs, and somehow don't break your wrists after every fight. Really, the list goes on about realism in this game...

I remember way back when the Stormblood jobs were revealed, he said something along the line of 'every new jobs will get primal weapons, but for raid weapons, they will only get those that were in previous expansion'.

So far this holds true (DRK,MCH, and AST got every primal weapons, and all coils weapons. SAM and RDM got all primal weapons, and all Alexander raids weapons. Dreadwrym weapons, which weren't implemented at launch, was an exception because they had to make Ultimate coil version anyway)

Though whether it stays true into 5.0 or not remains to be seen.

I hope (and I think that'll be the case) that they got all primal. They are very cool. For the raid, I hope they get at least the dreadwyrm because UCOB, and Alex Gunblade seems so logical and fitting I don't imagine them not making it.

For relics, as always, only the 5.0. One day maybe they'll add old relic for new jobs. Let me dream.

You realize that there will be more than 1 weapon right?

[New_Game_Plus]

Game isn't out yet and surprise surprise someone is complaining about the size of a single weapon.

[Shurrikhan]

It's less the weapon size for me than what animations the weapon size and apparent weight makes possible compared to other iterations or even just the trailer. The strikes in the trailer are all deliberate, precise, and smooth in the power. Instead we get weapon-flailing.

Ofc i do, however it matters what they have shown to us.
They could make it bigger or they could make it smaller, and according to the type of animations this character did i really dont think it will be any bigger.
Showing off weapon smaller than it is originally in other games make me thinking that they are showing us the "best of the best", because what sense would it make if they will show us a weapon on low lvl?
The fact is, this weapon does not fit the original concept of gunblade being big and bulky one and a half hander, it is the length of the paladin sword.
And yes size does matter, i dont imagine a tank with one handed weapon only.

you do know there are a lot of swords types.

ninja uses daggers (not technically swords) red mage uses a rapier a fencing weapon that is notable for it's PIERCING, Samurai uses a katana which differs highly then a standard sword, paladin uses the standard western sword with cross guard, and dark knight uses a two handed (notable two handed sword being the zweihander) which again differs from a normal sword.

because if you simplify the weapons to how you said it then all classes can have a form of swords,
sword on a stick, swords strapped to your wrists,a bent out of shape sword on a stick (literal lore for war relic) little swords shot from a bow, even smaller metal swords from a gun that is shaped like a sword, have you ever had a paper cut its like a thin sword for astros Black and white mage shoot magic in the shape of swords if they wanted, Summoner and scholar write with a sword dipped in ink cullanarians use swords to make food!

gun blade offers a different verity of a weapon, to dismiss it for something else being similar is a small part daft, as long as it's fighting style is unique and it stands out amongst a crowed then it's welcome in my eyes.
