New Lightning Weapon for Gunbreaker

[Kaedan]

A "lot of people don't realize" Lightning's weapon is a gunblade... because it isn't. At least not in terms of the type of gunblade being used for Gunbreaker (FF8). Lightning's weapon is a sword that can transform into a gun and visa versa. Even the "gunblades" used by Garlemald officers aren't the same weapon (they are a gun with a long blade attached).

One the one hand, they did add versions of Zantetsuken for samurai and dark knight, so there's some precedent.

On the other hand, they never did add FFXIII themed weapons for any of the jobs that came after ARR, so unfortunately I don't think we'll see a model of Blazefire Saber for gunbreaker.

Different aesthetics.

Lighting's folds up, and there are a couple of pld swords that have the folding animation to them. Plus Lightning always has her left hand out like she is going to use it to parry an attack like PLD with spirit shield.

Then Squall is the concept for gunbreaker, and also currently MCH dont dual wield pistols so.........um yea.

[TaranTatsuuchi]

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

Would have loved to get Serah's Sword version for dark...

While the gunblades are of a FF VIII style it would be neat to get some here and there that fit other styles, be it Lightning's or Garlean style etc. Dark Knight got a giant Sephiroth Katana so I don't see why they couldn't throw one in at some point.

Edit: Corrected FF XIV style to FF VIII. Derp.

Not gonna happen. They won't change the Blm/Whm ONE HANDED WEAPONS for 2h versions, so we're never gonna see any change to any of this.

the blazefire saber was actually just a sword in FF XV so why not?

[CrystalRainbow]

Not unless ffxiii get released

Because that's what it is here too (it's the GLA/PLD FFXIII weapon). So, even if it was remade into a GNB weapon what weapon would GLA/PLD then get in return?

Wait a minute...



I change my mind, GNB can have the stupid Blazefire Sabre, I want THAT gunblade and shield for GLA/PLD instead! (And the armour too). Please Yoshi!

Yes I know that has about as much chance of happening as ARR being scrapped and replaced with FFXIV 1.0 being restored to service, but a girl can still dream!
