What is a gunblade and what isnt   The gunblade section needed a clarifiction  The weapons used by Yazoo and Loz in Advent Children are not gunblades Their Velvet Nightmares function only as guns while the actual gunblades used in Final Fantasy VIII only work as swords Its only fans that have called them gunblades Same thing with Vices weapons in Dirge of Cerberus Theyre also different from gunblades because they both shoot and work as swords Seifer and Squalls style of weaponry are the only gunsword weapons officially called gunblades in all of Final Fantasy  Just thought I would point this out and make the correction I will leave mention of Yazoo Loz and Vices weapons in here though sinec theyre quite similar and are often called gunblades by fans Im just going to point out the distinction
