Final Fantasy VIII The first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.

It seemed to offer too much for my tastes. A sword should retain its normal function, not become a hybrid to make it excessively 'good.' I was disappointed with it really.

It´s a nice looking sword but not my favorite of the series or FFVIII for that matter...

I prefer gloves anyday and i actually think that Irvines ultimate weapon the Exeter i believe to be the most well designed weapon of FFVIII.

I sure don't want to see it in any more FF games ¬_¬ Along with the Buster Sword and Sephiroth's sword, it is one of the most impractical and worst designed weapons in FF. How could you honestly hold something like that with a handle so small? Can it actually be used as a gun?

That's true. I really do wonder if they ever will come back with it though :S

Well, technically the gunblade is coming back in FF13. The heroine wields it.

Not entirely. The weapon switches between a gun and a sword, kinda of like the old school Power Ranger weapons
