Can Gunblades be made bigger?

[Cetek14]

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.
Keep in mind that bigger gunblades wouldn't really work well with current swift animations. It can't be too big.

you obviously haven't seen a lalafell equipped with the revolver. if you have it, link it and ask somebody in your fc or something to equip it and show you a screenshot. it's about as big as a butter knife

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.

I want a larger version for my Roegadyn D:

Yeah i agree even more now haha. Squall looks more slender than ff14 races, that's why it looked smaller (even with a miqote it looks that way). Making squall's gunblade bigger is not a bad idea, but not all gunblade need to be bigger or have the exact same size.

They look fine to me.

I'm still in stormblood so I dont know how the other ones look, but I really like the size and look of the doman steel gunblade my guy has

I hate big, chunky weapons.... so to me the Gunblades are a nice departure from how every other tanking job tends to get weapons too large to be used by literally anyone. I prefer them to stay the size they are.

The gunblade indeed need a size increase. It doesnt need to be DRK size, but it needs a increase.
The FFXIV oficial art work aswell as the CGs have the gunblade larger than the ingame models.
Also the gunblade came from ffVIII if im not mistaken, they are big there (not Buster Sword big), and for players familiar with the weapon, it looks weird to carry a weapon the size of a short 1 handed sword.

I dnt know why SE decided to go with such a small gunblade ingame, when the art and CGs sugests they are bigger.

I will agree that Squall's gunblade in FF14 needs to be the same size as it appears in Dissidia NT.
