Freak accident, he fell on a knife. Repeatedly. I love how they plant the seed of doubt to make you think that beneath the smarminess, he just might actually be legit… and then that moment happens.

My favorite bit from that plot is still Maxima kinda clearing his throat post-Tsukuyomi and saying "so, uh, whatever the hell just happened, could we still do the prisoner exchange?" because he actually is the reasonable adult that Asahi could only vaguely attempt to be for about ten minutes

Sometimes I get the itch to roll with full Virtu Duelist for that classic feel but I always goes back to Exarchic eventually. I dunno, I really like the chestpiece from the EW AF.

X'rhun failed with me as well. Do you know who I am, X'rhun? I'm the Warrior of F'ing Light and I'll wear what I want. Have you, in your fancy hat, saved the Universe? I did it in a pink sweater and a pair of rimless glasses.

 Okay this is just getting silly, this is my fourth legendary fish in three days. Sea Butterfly, Cinder Surprise, Listracanthus, and now Aquamaton, and I'm pretty sure this was my first attempt at Aquamaton. My only legendary fish left is Stethacanthus.

So is there anywhere I can go to read the story for the 6.x patches and the Alliance raids? After 4 and 8 months I've forgotten most of the nuance so I'm looking for a synopsis that's longer than the 6 sentences I'm finding online

After 4 and 8 months I've forgotten most of the nuance so I'm looking for a synopsis that's longer than the 6 sentences I'm finding online Six sentences is probably longer than the description I'd give for the alliance raids, actually, so that one's probably good. For the MSQ, here's my best summary: We're exploring the Thirteenth with the aid of Vrtra, because his sister Azdaja flew into the voidgate made by Allag way back when and has never returned. In doing so we met Zenos' voidsent, turned her into a Throughout all that, we've been learning incomplete bits and pieces abut the Contramemoria, the war that ended in the Thirteenth becoming the Void. It's not really cohesive enough to have a full story yet, but apparently both sides were conjuring and chaneling monsters with crystals/auracite; Contramemoria like Zero were a force attempting to stop that. The Golbez from the present was active then as a man named Durande, who looked like After Years Zeromus and was hanging out with the real Golbez; at some point the real Golbez died tragically, and Durande took up his name and appearance to do ???. And as an entirely unrelated side-plot from 6.4, Krile, Erenvile, Thancred and Urianger have all got nebulous callings to a place; it hasn't been named in-story but we now know from the Dawntrail reveal that it's Tural. Any questions? Cleretic fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Sep 26, 2023 |

I mean, people have, and still do, attached guns to all manner of other weapons in real life. Daggers, various and sundry swords, shields, axes, spears, maces, brass knuckles. FF's gunblades are downright respectable (outside of the magic part, obviously) in comparison to some of the crazier stuff they've done throughout the series. Quina's forks in FFIX, for example. Not spears, not tridents dinner forks. Or how about Vanille's "rods"? She doesn't break knees with them, instead they've got multiple, retractable wires with hooks that she uses to slash people with like you would throw a fishing fly. Hell, out of curiosity I checked out a fandom wiki for FF weapons, and did you know FFXII had a DS spinoff? I didn't. I also, obviously, didn't know that the game has a character that uses flying surfboards called Skybandits as her weapon. Kheldarn posted:No, but their version of it is just as stupid. I mean, if you go this route, FF's version of any real-world weapon is equally stupid. Cloud's massive sword is obvious, of course, but all those fancy greebly bits on any late-game weapon are functionally detrimental towards using any of them as an actual weapon.

Yeah, there are some bad designs. Hell, 99% of the Monk weapons in this game would do more damage to the user than the target. And yet, they're still not as dumb as the Gunblade.

A gunbreaker's gunblade is not a gun + blade. It's a sword with magic exploding bits. It does not fire bullets. They have a funny name but they're just funny looking swords. That's not to say they aren't silly, just that comparing them to real world firearm/blade combos isn't quite fair.

I've been told that, of all the real-life gunweapons built, the most practical was probably the gunhatchet. It was, effectively, a carbine with a very hefty axe-bayonet and a grip favoring the melee function. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_sword#Similar_weapons This consideration is due in large part to the matter that an axe doesn't really fundamentally have to change if you make the haft different, whereas for a sword you do have to mess with at least a portion of the blade. As such you only primary worries for a gunhatchet are extra mass, malfunctions, the hollow haft being weaker, and catching yourself on mechanical parts. Even then those don't really compromise the axe part much.

It actually is a gunhatchet, and while FFXIV's gunblades are basically fantasy nonsense regardless, Gunbreaker's general combat style does actually suit a gunhatchet really well.

Pretty sure the bayonet wins the gunweapon practicality contest, seeing as they were standard issue for 350 years. Gunspears are real, and can hurt you.
