Viper would of been better if it had a different name

[Boblawblah]

Yes, really. What does a gunbreaker do? "Breaks guns"? What immediate connection does that have to a gunblade, assuming you know what a gunblade even is?

We're used to it now as a term, and had it presented to us when we were already anticipating to hear what a gunblade user would be called. But to an outsider, it's opaque and suggests nothing. If you want to play concept association as loose as "two terms with the word gun in them" – neither of them being real words outside of a Final Fantqsy context – then prettymuch anything goes.

And yes, I am calling you out on sweeping aside the example that disproves your argument as simply "a stretch". What about the term "warrior" (or marauder before it) should unquestionably call "heavyweight axe-wielder" to mind over any other kind of warrior?

Here, let's make this very clear since you seem to be missing it: I think Warrior is a bad name for a job. The only reason it works and is easily identifiable is it's history in the Final Fantasy series, which is why it works. Viper doesn't have that luxury (and YES, that does matter).

Okay, now that we've hopefully passed that part, if they go with Viper, and choose to have nothing to do with poison/dots and is just the name of the organization of fighters without any more snake context, then yes, I'll stick with my assertion that it's a bad name. I'm still not convinced that there won't be some poison element involved, but I could be wrong.
