    Huh? All weapons need to be aimed at an opponent, or do you think the gun shoots projectiles still?

    No he didnt, even yoshida said as much. Gaius's weapon shoots bullets, and is a gun 1st, sword second.
    GNB is sword 1st, not gun at all. There is no 2nd.

    on a side note, PLD swords tend to be bigger most of the time, but it took awhile to get there, so gunbreaker might just need to wait a bit, before the crazy weapon sizes show up. (maybe, PLD still gets some tiny short swords every so often (which is fine) so who knows)

    Thats how I felt. Sometimes cant tell if im looking at a GNB weapon or MCH weapon, and the ones you can tell, have the larger blade to handle ratio.

    And yet they seem to be shorter than most PLD swords lol. (I hate how so many of them, the RDM holds them at the bottom of the handle, rather than closer to the guard. Its weird as heck)

    No you don't. You can kill someone with a sword by swinging without aiming. Sufficient force would make it lethal without the need aim the strike.

    (1) The weapon in question is a sword
    (2) which direction do you swing? not just direction, but timing is part of a different type of "direction" in this regard (in a 3d space, rather than 2d plane) this is all part of aiming. There's more than one way in which you "aim" which is why i followed up with "or did u think it still shoots projectiles?"

    Which you don't have to consciously think about with a sword swing. Any swing at the target with enough force will be lethal without any need to account for timing or direction, unlike firearms. If you don't aim a firearm, the lethality is greatly diminished in comparison to an edged weapon.

    Some of them are bigger than others, but I don't necessarily mind the sizes of various gunblades. The lvl 80 artifact weapon is imo just right. And it looks nice and fancy to boot.

    The first time I saw gunbreaker, I actually thought they were machinists! Their gunblades look more like a rifle than a gunblade, so if they could make the blade-parts bigger, especially, to make it more distinct from rifles than that would be amazing.

    I won't be coming back to FFXIV's forums. The forum vibe is way too venomous and brings out the worst in me. I don't like who I am on the forums, so it's best to distance myself.
