Gunblade models don't need to be so extra...

I did enjoy the Tidal Heart (Levi) and Diamond Heart and Flame Heart (Phoenix) Inferno (Seifer weapon based on Ifrit) weapons in FFRK, basically had GF motifs. Obviously the Heart weapons share the hilt of the Lion Heart but it was neat to see these elemental versions. But i wouldn't mind to see the FFXIV design team take a similar approach to primal weapons, take a existing hilt (if it saves them time) that looks appropriate and then incorporate the primal's design into the blade in a way that's fitting. then again FFRK does have a Squall weapon that basically took a revolver hilt and attached a Lightning (FFXIII protag) type of blade onto it which looks all manner of clownshoes.

EDIT: Links take you to the FFRK website which has a compendium of the game's weapons and relics.

Is that an actual game? o.o like, official released by SE? Also big same, I feel like all those variants (minus the straight lionheart rip) are just perfect concepts of how gunblades should look.

Yea its a FF mobile game produced by DeNA, its been around for like 5 years going on its 6th anniversary in JP with the Global client being 6 months behind. As with most gacha games the prices are pretty ridiculous but it's generous than most others I've played and there aren't any intrusive "Buy this bundle NOW!" kinda thing nor any advertisements. They have quarterly festivals where they give out tons of stuff which will happen later this month and alongside it players are anticipating a XIV event as well which will include the debut of Alisae.

Um yeah, every single one of those makes XIV's primal gunblades look godawful.

Again, I don't get how Yoshi's team has so much trouble with a simple concept and keeps making rifles with bayonets on them instead of gunblades.
