| 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. |

In my opinion, the best weapon ever devised. 
Other than Cloud's Buster Sword, I think it's one of the more recognized swords out in the world of fantasy.
I thought it was a good compromise between ranged and close-contact, really. I actually thought you had the chance of actually firing it once.
Sore disappointment.
But nevertheless, I think the weapon is awesome, quite unique, and quite fitting for Squall.

It reminded me of a bayonet...just...with a pistol for a head instead of a rifle. It was kind of a goofy design to me, but I did like it. I just...can't for the life of me seem to figure out where the bullets come out. =\

Does it even fire bullets, or rather, was there any point in the game where the Gunblade actually fired something out of the revolver? 
Well, I had this notion that it did everytime you connected with the R1 button boost, but maybe that's not it.

all the gun part does is make the weapon do more damage as a whole. probbably puts more power in the swing.

Ah well, I was expecting as much.
But it would've been cooler if it actually fired some shots as well, what with a combined shot or combined attack limit or something, would've been better.
Probably cooler, but then again, Irvine already specializes in long range.
Then what makes the gunblade so different from regular swords?
Other than aesthetically, of course.

Idk I thought the whole point of a bayonet type weapon was that you could do close and mid/long range combat with it. You could only do close range damage with the gunblade; which ruins the "gun" aspect.

Yeah, they should've included some battles where you could only fight ranged, that way, they could've enhanced the gun aspect of it too.
Like in X where you had to battle Wyrm. =\
Yeah, so now I have mixed feelings about the Gunblade.

another theory i heard was that the gun part caused the blade to vibrate in a manner that as it cuts into something it will move side to side along as up and down. or something like that.
