It is not a matter of adding a replacement for Gunbreaker but to introduce something that is something different in gameplay style that has been set into FF14.

We've been teased by the Garlean gunblade since 1.0 and they established the Lore that Gunbreaker Gunblade and Garlean Gunblades are two completely different weapons. It is a rather interesting opportunity they set up in the game as we know how the Garlean Gunblade combat works through the years of encounters being a Hybrid of Melee and Range combat due to the design.

I am not saying Gunbreaker is bad as it is a decent tank as the Sorceress/Oracle Knight themed Job based on FF8 characters Squall and Seifer.

However, the Garlean Gunblade facinates me a bit more since it is something designed for FF14 beginning with Gaius then become more spread with other Garlean NPCs. It would also give them a chance to introduce a Job that is FF14 exclusive as Yoshi-P did once said sometime back in 2.X or 3.X that he did have interests in introducing FF14 exclusive Jobs despite most New Jobs will be from past FF games.
