While lore-wise, it doesn't make too much sense, I absolutely love that when Altdorf was very unstable in the WAR MMO you could walk around and see skaven taking over houses in the slums and hiding in barrels.
I like fantasy games with guns. I'm half tempted to give some to the ratmen in one of my D&D games, but I think it would cause sour tastes in the mouths of my players.
What!? FFVIII is awesome. Because I played it all the time when I was thirteen and now feel very nostalgic about it. It's clearly the best Final Fantasy game because no other Final Fantasy game has managed to pull that off yet and I don't think they ever will.

just cuz you're emo 14 year old self identified with the whiny teenagers doesn't make it good.

Modern bullets will penetrate steel plate just fine. Now it's true that this is not going to be true for old weapons, but the English had developed armor-piercing arrow tips specifically designed to puncture plate armor.
Bodkins. They used swallowheads for volleys at mid to far range, but those were to kill lightly armed infantry and cavalry horses - an armored knight isn't much good if he has to haul ass all the way over there.
Bodkins were for close range with more precise aim, so they could hit the armored knights head on without the bodkins glancing off if they hit at an angle.

Wouldn't guns really fuck up plate armor and make it deadlier to be hit?
well think about it, most bullet proof vest are just a ceramic plate.
I know the interceptor is at the very least.
That is not "just" ceramic though - it is a very specifically engineered ceramic, that i would wager is a multilayered composite structure.

yes, which had much higher terminal velocities than early bullets.
I just found it retarded that FF7's climax centers around the permadeath of one of the main characters. A main character that has probably died hundreds of times while fighting with you. But no this one time a phoenix down won't work. Just inconsistent.
At least in FF8 the dude falls off a cliff edge so if something kinda permanent happens there it's understandable. Not being able to find a body to phoenix down? Fine. Having the body right in front of you and not even trying? Fuck you.

See, in D&D, armor works like this:
Heavier armor makes you harder to hit.
either one, really.
I mean, matchlocks predate it.
edit: also, fantasy swords are the very worst
Depends, I mean the term 'bullet proof' comes from shooting plate to show it's proof against guns.
lulz
Not really. Most breastplates of the era were bulletproof.
And then people started making better explosives...

No, she's definitely pretty.
Pretty AWFUL that is.
edit: But to be clear, I would have sex with her.
SHEEET.
Most bullet proof vests are layered kevlar. The interceptor is not most bullet proof vests.
and i am now wondering why doesn't a soundtrack for that show exist
i'd buy it
Any gun can shoot fantasy swords
What.
The best weapon is a sword that is also a gun
Actually I was lying. The best weapon is a gun that can shoot unicorns.
Well the interceptor has a lot of kevlar on it, but the main protection is the ceramic plate.

Spallation is nasty.
