Can We Get The Gunblade From The GNB Concept Art?

[Hank_Hotspur]

Was looking over some screens of the new Shadowbringers Art Book and apparently this image was shown during a stream talking about the development of the new jobs and man, they pretty much nailed translating the outfit from the art to the game, but I'd love to get that huge gunblade too.

Given the animations for the job, that thing would clip right through your head pretty horribly.

Aw, yeah. I want to hold that guy's thick gunblade!

Thancred doesn't even look strong enough to hold that.

I sense your intentions are less than pure.

My roe's hand clipped through most gunblade handles and floats 3 feet off his back anyways, in addition to clipping into the jacket when his hands were at his sides (and the new MGP long hair punching through the collar), so I think the game already doesn't put much stock into clipping issues.

Be careful around his bandolier, you don't want it to cook off prematurely.

I’m disappointed what we got as the Gunblade. The weapon looks nothing like a blade, more like a pocket knife. Why can’t they give us something a big as DRKs weapon? The one in this picture looks so much better than what we got.

If I was going to hazard a guess, that is either a future relic for GNB or possibly just an early concept for Lionheart, probably more the former than the later, given Thancred in that image is clearly wearing normal GNB AF (I agree I was disappointed they made Lionheart so ridiculously small compared to how big the one Thancred wields in the ShB opening is, but that's game development for you. ).

I don't mind the size of gunblades we currently have (as hyur now, I was disappointed they didn't scale them up for my roe), but it is weird that the elezen model which was shown during the shadowbringers reveal at the fanfest and is still currently the image featured on gunbreaker page on the site wield a much more scaled up version of the lionheart than what is in game.
