I mean one Viper exist now and idk about everyone else but I love it’s concept. Kinda sword saint like. Two idk why everyone thinks a simple concept is a bad concept, have you ever considered that too much complexity can cause confusion. I have that’s why MCH is fight for identity as to being a shooty shooty bang bang or a tinkerer. Also they are many MMOs that did this very concept and people play it. Now if you asking for an X factor for the job to stand out other then it’s gun. That’s just brainstorming, have a gauge that when maxed you combing your guns into a sniper rifle and shoot a big aoe (saz), have the jackpot roller like and if you get 777 give your party a random buff (FFVII), take the old reload mech from MCH and give it to them so every shot is enhanced with something. I could go on and on and no this isn’t my concept I thought of just spitballing. Personally I think bards weapons should be instruments , they have the models. Make ranger have a bow and a giant crossbow on their back. It’s not redundant it’s a lack of imagination and direction, which is why we’re here now. We tried MCH in HW hope for a cool gun class. We tired in StB when they gave us flippy dippy, We tried in StB when they gave us broken HC, We tried when they gave us automaton Queen. It’s not a gunslinger it’s a Machinist. So ask for a different fantasy that has had a foothold in FF universe isn’t much and saying well they have a gun already isn’t a good enough excuse anymore. Especially when you see other characters do the things we ask for. I’m not saying break MCH but if them having a gun is what’s stopping us from a gunslinger I think I rather you move that barrier.
