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

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

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.

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.

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.

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