Livia's weapon? I don't see how it was lacking in effectiveness. She ascended to a very high rank within the Garlean Military and whilst the Warrior of Light succeeded at beating her that only happened after Limsa, Ul'dah and Gridania were persuaded to make a last ditch effort to fight against the invading Garleans.
Applying real world 'realism' to fantasy weapons is a pretty slippery slope though.
Yes... that's my point exactly. I brought up Livia's banghnaks as an example of something that would be even less effective than a gunblade IN REAL LIFE being effective in the game world as a response to the criticism that gunblades are dumb.Â
This gives gunblades a pass in my mind.
