New Lightning Weapon for Gunbreaker

[DamianFatale]

A lot of people don't realize that Lightnings weapon is a gunblade.

I wonder if it would be possible for SE to repurpose the model, and make a gunblade version of it.

Thoughts?

We didn't get Sazh's gun for Machinist, either.

That's different. You're asking for a brand new weapon model for a class that wasn't present at the time event. OP is asking for a repurpose of an already existing weapon model in the game.

Personally I'd like to see this as well as I never really felt the blazefire saber fit the aesthetic of PLD very well.

The Monk weapons are Sazh's guns.

They wont repurpose it.

OH! haha I'm dumb, I thought you were asking for this bad boy, Sazh's original weapon Vega 42

I think the main issue would be the difference between Lightning's gunblade and those of Squall/Seifer.

Like, VIII's gunblades are swords with a revolver handle and chamber where "Shooting" sends a shock down the blade for more damage (Physics be damned!)

XIII's gunblade is a sword that folds into a gun to shoot actual bullets.

I'm not sure how they'd be able to make a Blazefire Sabre than functions for Gunbreaker without seeming odd due to not working like Lightning's actual weapon (Which would be drastically different to how Gunbreaker would use its skills)

As Kalise mentioned, the gunblade folds so the way I see it, the could make a folded model (revolver) for MCH and the non-folded version for gunbreaker.

Then there's that other unique aesthetic where the animation for the Lightning's Gunblade to fold and unravel depending on what skill to use.

As much as I'm loathe to use this particular sentence, it really sounds like too much work for just one piece of gear that has already hit the game. Especially when Squall's gunblade is actually going to be brought in.

TL;DR: It's too late for that.

They never gave MCH, AST, DRK, RDM or SAM a FF 13 themed weapon, they won't do it.
