other gunblades

[Tigerheart]

i was jus playing ff8 today and i saw the galbadian weapons. and i thought wow, those look like gunblades. maybe squall/siefer aren't the only one??

[The Anarchy Angel]

Nah, in the prison section on Disk 2 they don't have a clue about gunblades, they're just regular swords methinks

[MushroomZOMBIE]

Hint......in the same place Anarchy said....
Galbadian Soldier-So,this is what they call a gunblade.......

[boys from the dwarf]

now someone can go close this threads before people make up a load of crazie theories.

[Hexarar]

He, why not?
Galbadia is a superpower. Of course they have the best technology, and gunblades is that, if something. And if they really say

"So, this is what they call a gunblade?" Shouldn't it mean they have gunblades a bit different from those of Squall's and Seifer's?

[Destai]

Gunblades seem like a rare weapon. When Squall was about to undergo his SeeD test Headmaster Cid said he was hoping Seifer and Squall would do well as SeeD had never had gunblade wielders before.

[Hexarar]

Yeah. It's rare in Balamb. What about in Galbadia? I know what someone is going to tell me.

If you can't find one in game, there are none.
Or something. Then they are going to blame me because of 'Future-Estharism' or something.

Well, if the Galbadians do use gunblades, they wasted a lot of money equipping their army, because not once do the Galbadians use the gunblades properly (if that is indeed what they are, which I highly doubt).

Also, if Gunblades are rare in Balamb, they are rare elsewhere too. Balamb is the only place to take the SeeD exam, remember? That's why Selphie transferred. If Gunblades were common in Galbadia, do you really think Cid would have waited so long to get a gunblade specialist? No.

Oh, and if you remember, when he first faced the Ruby Dragon, Laguna mentioned handling a gunblade in training, but apparently once training was over he never touched it again. Add that to the fact that the Galabadians in the prison didn't even recognize one, and it seems pretty clear that the Galbadian army used gunblades at one point, but gave up on them a long time ago (probably because they are far too difficult for those hair brained G-Soldiers to master).

Yea they did,after squall becomes a seed headmaster walks up to him and say"A gunblader haven't seen one for a while."

...Actually, he says "Finally, a gunblade specialist"...
