some of them are tiny and kind of silly when you consider: they are made by big lionmen so it'd be kind of silly if the weapon they designed for and by themselves wouldn't be scaled appropriately to their size.

Tbh, Titania's is the only weapon that looks properly sized and made. It's lengthy, not too wide, has a well placed trigger(and just the fact it has one), a good hand guard, firm looking handle, and it leads to a good pointed edge. Everything else feels liek shrunken greatsword, mishapen paladin sword, or "throw in a pipe, some extendos and hell make it look like it's a flintlock pistol like garleans use". Some of the designs are just silly, its a tank wep, it doesn't have to be GIGANTIC, but prolly should be a big longer. I just know if I complain about this though, SE will make them x200 scale, larger than DRK weps lol.
I agree with you op just look at this

This is Final Fantasy XIV. Not VIII, not Dissidia. Size is absolutely fine. This is swift and not heavy weapon here.
But i have to admit that bigger races like roegadyn could get slightly bigger gunblades.
Use the Dwarven Mythril Manatrigger if you want an oversized weapon.
You know, I can't help but feel if they swapped the drk, sam and gnb stances (drk gets gnb, gnb gets sam and sam gets drk), this wouldn't be so jarring. That kind of stance is usually reserved for people who are carrying heavier weapons.
I would like to see the size we see in the CG art rather than the toy weapons we currently have ingame

Oh boy, I could say something about phallic envy but I won't...
Seriously though, I think the problem here is the weapon doesn't scale properly depending on the character's race, as smaller races the gunblade looks much better compared to say, roegadyn, where it does look more like a pistol with a bayonet, rather than a greatsword with a gun-shaped rumble pack for a hilt. A slight size increase wouldn't be a bad thing, but I doubt SE would really bother with enlarging existing gunblades frankly, they'd be more likely to just make future gunblades larger. So, keep waiting I guess?
This, the scaling is simply off. Races like hyurs or miqo'te look just fine, when roegadyns run around with toothpicks.Oh boy, I could say something about phallic envy but I won't...

Keep in mind that bigger gunblades wouldn't really work well with current swift animations. It can't be too big.
I like the fact that some gunblades are smaller than others. But i was surprised when i saw the squall's gunblade, it seems smaller than the original. I agree for a bigger size for some races tho.
