So far iv seen a few screen shots and this leaked video of the beginning cut scene and their are people holding and using guns. It looks more like a sub weapon me but maybe it will have its own class. what do you guys think?

Yup gun's will be in the game. Likely there will be some sort of gun using class but I guess they could be a secondary. I'm not sure. Still it's awesome we'll be able to use guns.

There will also be a a gunsmithing discipline. That was confirmed.

I assume guns will fall under the Discipline of War, in XI they were Corsair's but those were a combination between Gun slinging and Gamblers.
I can't really think of any name for the Gun wielders in this game.

Also keep in mind they have to hold some stuff back for later expansions and stories from the core game.

I like the idea of having guns as long as it like 12 I mean flintlocks and stuff like that but it wouldn't look right with someone running around with an RPG or a M-16

Don't worry Myth, XIV seems to be a Steampunk Fantasy based world. So no RPGs and modern weaponry.

Yeah as we know we will be adventuring in Eorzea during it's industrial revolution. There will be some technology like guns but it won't be very advanced at all. Still I'm glad they made this move because I don't think I'd be interested at all if they stayed with the time frame XI was based around.

The way I figure it the pistols will likely be similar to our flintlock pistols. I figure the Gunslinger class will be a slower yet more powerful alternative to using the Archer.

The Galka in the instance cut scene is holding both a great axe and a gun ^^. I'd like to see gun's with blades on them.

Gunblades are a very practical idea for XIV. In the steampunkesque modernized world of Eorzea it seems logical to me that that sort of weapon would cross some gunsmiths mind. Especially since we now know that Musketeer is a confirmed class in game.

One would assume that Musketeers would heavily favor from a bladed rifle. This would allow them to change up their role on the fly and give them huge party effectiveness allowing them to rival the other DPS.

This seems like something that would work
I wouldn't mind them "ripping" this idea off from .Hack//

Hrm... I would hope for some form of revolver, personally.

But any form of gun would be awesome, it would definitely mix up the weapon variety a bit.

I was thinking of having like a Gunblade type thing also, kind of like the guys from .Hack G.U. so that they could fire a couple rounds then get up close with the bayonet.

Yes there will be guns, and the class is called Musketeer. It's been officially announced, but isn't in beta and not sure when it's going to be in game. Tho I'm hoping soon, because I wanna be one, as I was a gun wielding ranger in XI lol. In the mean time tho, I'm going to be leveling Archer and a few other classes, so that when MSK (Musketeer) is released I'll be all ready with some nice skills for it.

There is a gun shop in the beta, called something thundersticks. It's located over in Limsa, but does not have any guns for purchase yet. So it WILL be implemented at some point. I'm in the open beta right now.
