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!

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.

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

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

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.

seifers is cool but i still prefer squalls, dont no why though 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!

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!

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.
