[Cool Revolutionary]

seifer....or squalls original revolver? i think squalls might just take the biscuit....but im not sure!

[Polaris]

-.-"

why did you hate it?

[Polaris]

Too much time playing with it and I already knew there would be new weapons! :( I miss playing ff8! :whimper:

[Timster]

the Hyperion (seifers) looks so much better...

although they're probably equal in strength... i like that Hyperion is held with one hand instead of like the revolver, with two hands... the Revolver is so... plain

[blackmage_nuke]

Unless the ability to use lionheart is included i would say Seifers

[Cool Revolutionary]

seifers seems to be the most popular.....
i was the one who voted both are of equal greatness.
both look fantastic. but i might have been going more towards voting for squall's revolver.

[10-Breaker]

I too voted for equal greatness.
Still Seifer has so much better looking.

[licence]

Seifer's gunblade is better. His attack animation also whips Squall's.

[Goldenboko]

I hated gunblades in general but Squall's was the worst, mainly because how freaking huge it was.

[Namelessfengir]

i just like the look of the hyperion and squall could have swung his blade single handed

[Rocket Edge]

The Hyperion gunblade probably looks cooler than the standard model, and Siefer's stance with it is better anyways.

[f f freak]

Seifer's looks cooler.

[DiggyPup]

I like Squall's 'cause of the Griever embellishment on the blade and the matching icon on the chain, but these make it look cumbersome and a bit cluttered. Seifer's, on the other hand, is relatively plain, but perhaps this is what gives his gunblade a more serious initial reaction. Also, the angles near the hilt of his weapon are more prominent, giving the semi-arc of the blade an overall sharper and deadlier appearance.

hmmm, not really. revolver seems to heavy to hold with one hand.

[Ryushikaze]

No. They aren't. They are an akward, ridiculous design that could have been streamlined at any point in the design process, and the whole gun aspect could have been replace by a pistoning or rotary motor for the same overall effect, since it doesn't actually launch the bullets it holds.

That said, had I to choose between them, I'd screw them both and take the gunblade that was shown in the Fan Made Neo-Rinoa model someone made. That, or the one from Wild Arms 3. It could at least fire real bullets.

TRYING...hard GAAH! not to get angRY!
let me just say this....they are the greatest weapon designed...ever!
ps,
i called the doctor for you he's coming round to check your ok in the head!:tongue:

[Ryushikaze]

TRYING...hard GAAH! not to get angRY!

Oh, feel free to get angry. Just know that I won't care.


let me just say this....they are the greatest weapon designed...ever!

And let me just say that that is absolute bollocks. Looking 'cool' does not a good weapon make, much less a great one.
I repeat, the design it horrible, and if you wish, I shall elaborate as to why.


ps,
i called the doctor for you he's coming round to check your ok in the head!:tongue:

I'm sure not knowing my real name, or my address, or what I look like, or even what State I'm in made that one especially difficult.

[Zeromus_X]

Okay, guys.

I like Squall's gunblade as far as looks, although Seifer wields his a bit cooler.

[Lynx]

i have a gunblade and even though i think its an intimidating looking weapon thats all it is. the handle design is horrible. since its not straight with the blade swinging down or stabbing forward is akward. recovery from a missed swing is hard do to the handle and the weight. the sword weighs like 12 pounds where as a katana is like 3. i know 12 pounds doesnt sound like a lot but in a full force swing with one hand it feels like much more.

revolver > hyperion

[Takara]

I voted for both.

Squall's Revolver looks too heavy and cumbersome, although I love the engraving on the blade and the pendant dangling from the handle. Seifer's Hyperion, on the other hand, looks lighter and easier to use, and the blade looks razor-sharp. The design is plain, though. Both seem equally powerful.

So I guess Squall's wins for the design, while Seifer's wins for the usability, and they both score the same for power.

[Ender]

A sword with a hilt shaped like a gun is dumb no matter how I look at it.

As a fantasy weapon, a sword that also can be pointed at an opponent and actually used as a gun for ranged combat, or to throw your opponent off-guard would rock. I, for the life of me, can't figure out why they didn't do this--even if only as a limit break.

That said, Squall's gunblade > Siefer's

humour sense in you must have broke down. seriously i REALLY DISAGREE lets leave it at that.

[Takero]

I voted for revolver . I think revolver is cooler than Hyperion .

and i usually forget that seifer has a gunblade and in the dollet mission I always forget to put the trigger for seifer's gunblade

[Ryushikaze]

humour sense in you must have broke down. seriously i REALLY DISAGREE lets leave it at that.

If my humor broke down, yours did first. And if you disagree with my assesment that the FF8 Gunblade is one of the worst weapons designs in existence, I'd like to see some reasons why it's well designed for combat. Looking cool does not cut it in battle.

[cloud21zidane16]

seifers is cool but i still prefer squalls, dont no why though:confused: Id prefer to use the Revolver in a battle than the Hyperion;)

great! a revolver fan!
and ill say this to a certain person who doesnt like gunblades....
how are they badly designed? there heavy yes....but thats the point.
weight=power. there perhaps are MORE practical weapons to use...but the gunblade is my favourite!

[Hyperion4444]

Here.

3 pictures of both Gunblades.

I like them both.
I like The Revolver handle and the Griever carving on it.
But i like the black colored Hyperion Sword and the name.

i like em both too, thats why i voted for "equal greatness" but im surprised that some folks dont like them at all...and im also shocked revolver isnt more popular!

[Trisdyn]

This isn't really a tough decision at all for me. Squall's revolver, by far, I think looks better.

You guys pretty much pointed all that needs to be pointed out. Squall's gunblade looks way too heavy and unusable, but it has a nice design and it actually has 'personality'. I think the revolver is based more on brute force in the swing, to cause damage. The engraving of Griever, the pendant, the shape, it all contributes to a great sword that looks awesome.

Seifer's hyperion, on the other hand, does look nice, deadly, and sharp, but it's much too generic. There are no specific qualities that you can really differentiate from. And although it looks lighter, easier to use, and Seifer does look cooler with it, I agree, it just looks too normal.

Verdict: I voted for Squall.

[Yuffie514]

Squall. i think Seifer's Hyperion gunblade has a rather ugly appearance.

[Kanshisha]

Lust if they had a char that uses a gunblade and weilds it like blank from ff9... you know, from the shoulder? that would've gotten my vote if it was real, but yeah anyway, i don't really mind but a question.. is the hyperion double edged? when seifer strikes it shows 2 lines, on the other hand squall only shows 1 line

[Slothy]

Revolver without a doubt if only because Seifers is gimped as far as usefulness as a sword. There's a reason I've never seen a sword in the real world with the handle coming out almost ninety degrees perpendicular from the blade. It'd be awkward to swing a sword with a handle like that, and more importantly, even though Seifer's looks lighter and easier to wield, it'd still be rediculously heavy. That's not a sword you wield with one hand. Too bad for him that the handle keeps you from using a two handed grip.

[Northcrest]

I like Squalls the best.

not quite ninety, but yes, they exist. There are are plenty of pistol grip swords out there. Rarely though do you see them on anything heavier than a longsword, and they're most common on rapiers and eepees.

Actually, Hyperion looks like it belongs right about in the standard longsword size and weight class, meaning it would actually be a one handed sword.

[hanawa]

I hated gunblades in general but Squall's was the worst, mainly because how freaking huge it was.

Yeah right... But wonder why people still love Cloud's freaking huge Bustersword... In fact most of his blades' are again, freaking huge...

Please tell me when I said I liked Cloud's Sword.

[Emery]

She never said you did, and it wasn't that big.

[Goldenboko]

Consider the way he had to hold it, its dimensions give no advantages for the annoyance of holding the weapon like such.

[Shiny]

Squall's. I like the Griever engraving, the revolver gun and the dangling Griever charm.

Love it..

[Mirage]

Squall's Lionheart has the highest attack rating, and is thus the best.

[ff is da best]

i liked squall gunblade because i like guns and i like swords combine them together wolllaaaa a gunblade hahaha

[Mirage]

And seifer's gunblade doesn't?

[ff is da best]

i didnt konw seifers was a gunblade (what am i thinking lol) oh well i like both

[Heath]

I thought Seifer's design was better than Squall's original gunblade definitely. A lot sleeker and, basically, just better looking!

[JodoBaggins]

I agree...Hyperion owns

[_yeojina_]

Seifer's Hyperion, although looks less bulky than Squall's Revolver, also looks somewhat more difficult to control single-handedly. I guess it's been designed for more swift and cleaner attacks, as it does, I admit, look rather sleek in design.

On the other hand, Squall's Revolver is more bulky and looks heavier to use. However, he is able to use it single-handedly at times as shown in the introduction. I guess its been made for brute force and blunt attacks.

So I'll just go for both are equal. However, in appearance, I find Squall's more appealing. :D

[Aerith's Knight]

This point is moot, as nothing compares to the awsomeness of a girl using a whip.

[Sephiroththegreat]

:choc2: Squall definately has the best gunblade i mean who wouldn't want a revolver handle as a sword handle:choc2:

[champagne supernova]

The detail on Squall's makes me choose it over Hyperion. I agree that the Hyperion does look a little bit generic. Revolver has personality.

And I am judging it purely on how cool it looks. Because this game is a fantasy game, so judging based on practicality is a bit silly.

[Hyperion4444]

Both are great.
Squall's Limits are usually better for duels.
Seifer's Limits hits all enemies.

[Yuffie514]

Squall. There are upgrades and more limit-break attacks that come with it. And they also look better.

[Mercen-X]

Whelps... Hmm. Personally, I find each of the two rivals' starting weapons to be of a rather equal unimpressiveness. *SHRUG*
