Gun Blade Squall

[Shiro--Tsubasa]

Well, I mean, Squall's not exactly what you'd consider a tank, anyway, so to me, this seems rather faithful

He has the highest base HP and base VIT out of all of the characters in the game. He is naturally more tanky. I don't know where you get him not being a tank from, but that is false. lol

That doesn't even take account him having a title of Sorceress' Knight.

My thought exacly ; since he's a Sorceress' Knight, you can consider that he 'protects' his Sorceress and, therefore, makes a good tank lorewise.

That being said, I have the Gunblade, and it dosen't seem too small for me.

They ripped off Dante a lot.

Way closer to Nero than Dante. Considering that boiled down, Red Queen is essentially a Gunblade. Just trade the gunpowder/aether cartridges for an ICE.

Aside from that it looks like Gunbreaker uses a single-handed version of the "wrath guard" (or Zornhut) as its neutral stance:

That website will help more than you know for RP reasons

FFVIII was released in Feb of 1999, DMC was released in Aug 2001.

They ripped off DMC with Gunbreaker. Didn't mean FFVIII

Will add my voice to this. In a Hrothgar hand in particular, the weapon looks laughably tiny. It's a two-handed weapon for Squall, but fits in just one of my mitts.

the Revolver is too small, please SE make it bigger, what we have now looks like a kids toy

You Gun Blades. Always judging a tank by the size of their weapons.

Not to mention the other two gunbladers, Seifer, and for a short while Laguna, were also protecting sorceresses (although Laguna was just protecting an actor who was playing a sorceress)
