Gunbreaker is more Siefer than Squall. A disappointing realization.

True enough, the Garlean weaponry is also quite varied, we see regular gunblades, gunpikes, a freaking gungreatsword. The likelihood they make a Garlean based class seems slim but would be interesting, a Garlean deserter giving away Empire secrets to Eorzean heroes.

Can't forget about gun tonfas, gun hammers, and gun shields. The Garlean approach to infantry weapons seems like it's just taking a conventional weapon and attaching a gun to it.

For me it is also downside, and I don't know why SE made this decision, but well... a lot of people defend Seifer as "cool" for them, and I think it is this way because, people are in hysteria now, defending the Job-gameplay in Eorza like zealots, in fear of changes.

Everywhere You can see advertisement with Squall, as the main protagonist of FFVIII, wielding Gunblade, and basically I remember reading forum posts of people needing a gunblade Job in Eorzea, because of Squall Leonhart - we even got his outfit, his weapon, and finally the Job itself (which for example have attack from Leonhart "Blasting Zone" like Limit Break in FF8) so yeah...

I loved the Kingdom Hearts and twists to fight against Squall on arena, and its normal I like him, as I like Cloud, or Terra from other Final Fantasy worlds. No wonder why iconic Heroes are in Dissidia

I don't understand why people state that it's just Eorzea thing, and it should be 1h >__> Job ... Really? If it's 1h weapon, then why in attack some animations are 2H? For example take PLD, do PLD attack with two hands anyways? Ofc no, because he wields 1h-sword and shield. I hate when people say that gunblade is 1h weapon and it should stay like that

So here's my thoughts

1. The gunblade is a hand and a half sword given you can use either 1 or 2 hands with it's use. Thus why some animations buse 2 hands.
- i do think that the weapon itself should be made a bit bigger to reflect this and so it looks like my big hroth isnt wielding a letter opener lol.

2. I really dont care so much about that they used more Seifer over Squall. I loved FF8 and just the fact we get a class built around the weapon itself was awesome. Who's animations they used doesnt matter to me, the fact they incorporated a little of each known gunblade users (i.e. Squall, Seifer, and Lightning 13-1) is awesome in my opinion. Gives the job variety.
- So what, Squall being the poster boy for that weapon shouldnt mean anything. I love its animations, and everything about it and i just picked it up. I like the nods they made to each known gunblade user from previous titles.

As for the sound effect issue, the only thing i can say is afterwords the forums did see a huge flood of threads about people complaining about it and still i see some crop up. So bad on their part i guess.

In the end... I guess yeah people can voice their opinions on things but they do need to remember that if you are trying to change something about a class, do relize you aren't the only ones who play it, and that those changes could ruin it for a lot of people who do enjoy it.

Not saying changes arent needed here and there... Just... Pick your fights wisely.

Also, the battle stance is Auron.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I think that's more of DRK's pose, a mix of Cloud and Auron, its more hunched over the back than it is resting on the shoulder.

Well that is how the Gunbreaker Job NPC describe Garlean Gunblades being a Gun with a sword attached to it.

Though as he said, garleans only began using Garlean gunblades after they discovered the Gunbreaker Gunblades and then based the Garlean Gunblades off that design but replaced the vibration blade function using Magic ammo with a Functioning Gun instead to utilize the Magic ammo for performing Magic Range attacks instead of spending that Magic Ammo to enhance the Blade's impact. Thus the Garlean Gunblade was made.

This concept can actually make a complete new Job with it and hopefully maybe a DPS Job. Gameplay wise the design maybe good for a Physical Damage version of Red Mage gameplay style but more focus on Melee attacking with the Range attacks being the off-combo part.

If you look at how Squall fights in Dissidia, most basic attacks are with one hand and he only switches to a two-handed grip for things like Renzokuken and Blasting Zone.

Maybe people don't want a job modeled after Seifer cause he's a huge douche? Bully, power-mad, etc. I definitely see the elements pulled from Seifer for the GNB job, but its not like its completely a copy of only his characteristics. I think Seifer's an asshat but have no issues with the GNB job as it is.

I have checked some dissidia videos, GNB literally looks like and sounds (5.0 sounds, not 5.1) like Squall. Not 1:1 because they can't make a copy, but very similar. Only sound seems to be "deeper", because old games have worse audio quality. It seems that nostalgia really clouds judgement of some people.
Stop complaining before devs absolutely slaughter the job. We need only 5.0 sounds back and it's fine.

For me it is more of a combination of Squall and Seifer.

Both are Sorcerer's Knights and the job has traits from both of them
