    This is what the Ultimania guide says, and in case you didn't know, that's the official guide written by staff members of Square-Enix themself. If that's not good enough for you then nothing else will be.

    As for what happens in Kingdom Hearts, that has nothing to do with FF8. Hero, you said you want evidence from the game? Well, last time I checked, Kingdom Hearts and FF8 are NOT in fact the same game.

    Summary: Square said they don't fire bullets, hence they don't. QED.
    Dont even try to explain, apparently we are on different plains of thought.

    First of all, it's Heero with two e's. second, if the bullet exploded wouldn't the blade break and shatter? And square made kingdom hearts and someone earlier said u can see the bullet being fired. doesn't matter if they're not the same game.

    Obviously the gunblade is constructed in such a way so that the blade does not break or shatter.

    And it DOES matter that they're not the same game. In FF8, no bullets are ever seen to be fired, and Square have made an official statement that no bullets are actually fired. Clearly then, if they have bullet be fired in Kingdom Hearts, the KH gunblade does not fit in with the FF8 gunblade, hence they have to be treated differently. I'm sure bullets are fired in KH, but not in the gunblades used in FF8.

    then what is the sudden white flash after the sound of the blade swinging (when u use auto or the R1 button)? also, did it ever occur to u that they might have wanted to show the bullet being fired in KH after seeing that u couldn't see one in FFVIII? they may have said that statement because it is not shown in the game.

    A flashy aftereffect of the bullet 'exploding' and the shockwave being sent through the blade. That's all.

    lso, did it ever occur to u that they might have wanted to show the bullet being fired in KH after seeing that u couldn't see one in FFVIII? they may have said that statement because it is not shown in the game.
    That doesn't make sense. Are you suggesting that Square, being unable to make an animation in which a bullet was visibly fired, decided to pretend as if there were no bullets fired, only to revert back to the original plan for KH? It wouldn't be that hard to make a bullet-firing animation for one(they do it for Irvine after all), so that doesn't make much sense.

    yes, it does. for Irvine he has a gun! Squall uses a blade. They could've had mixed ideas of how to show a bullet being fired through a blade. Think some more! A bullet being fired from a gun, and a bullet being fired through a blade? Difference? lots!

    Squall really should be doing this instead.


    As for the kingdom hearts gunblade, It didn't fire any stuff out from my POV and the Fireball attack is cast by Leon instead of being fired by the gunblade .

    I don't follow your point. I say it doesn't make much sense to assume that Square would claim that the gunblade does not fire a bullet, even if that's what they really meant for it to be. Then you say here that there's a difference between a blade and a gun?

    What exactly is your point? Do you agree or not?

    I'm saying there's a difference between firing a bullet by a gun and firing a bullet through a blade! Also, if u read in the previous pages that there was a debate about if there was a barrel in the blade. We agreed through game info. that there is and that a bullet is fired. U really need need to think outside the box about the Square statement. Don't think literally. Just try it. Also, earlier when there was a statement about the bullet exploding, that can't be because theblade would shatter no matter how u try and get around making it the only other explaination that is that the bullet has to be expelled from the blade.

    Sorry, but the Ultimania Guide is the official Square verdict, and no offense, but I think Square have a better idea of how their own game works, what with them having created it and all. And if the people who conceived of the gunblade say that it DOES NOT FIRE A BULLET, then it does, in fact, not fire a bullet.

    Also, I HAVE looked through this whole debate(notice my post on the FIRST page?), and the main people in the argument conceded once the Ultimania information was confirmed.

    Now, your suggestions that I 'not take it literally' or 'think outside the box' are, in my humble opinion, silly in this context. None of us here are experts on the gunblade (yes, you are NOT a gunblade expert, and certainly don't have any knowledge we don't). None of us know it's inner mechanism, it's intricate build. On the other hand, Square DO know, and Square said it doesn't fire a bullet. If you think we shouldn't accept that, then I think you're grasping at straws, and quite frankly, most people will agree with me.

    ...

    Heero, I don't think your grasping the concept... the Gunblade does not fire bullets, reguardless of the fact you say they do. Square, the creators ofthis fine game, said they do not fire bullets, so, in turn, they don't, and never will. End of story.

    And, well, in my honest opinion, your statements are nowhere near reasonable. There is no diffrence from firing bullets from a barrel at the end of a blade then from a gun such as Irvine's. The only sound diffrence is that there is a blade between the two barrels...

    And no, the gunblade do not fire bullets or else Squall will be doing what Yazoo is doing. And note Yazoo's weapon is called Velvet Nightmare instead of a Gunblade.
