It's bad if it's more Siefer than Squall? Siefer uses a gunblade and our job uses a gunblade (or something close at least)... It's ok to me (sry i never played ff8). Maybe we will see more animations from Squall later too.
For the sfx it sound blunt and like cutting through butter. I dont ear any feedback from the blade and i dont hear the gunparts anymore. It's soo low-pitched too... In a raid with other jobs making a lot of noise, the new gnb sfx is barely audible. That broke the good feeling i had before and that's why i (and other ppl i talked with in the forums) want the old sfx. I can see why some ppl like the new one, but it's clearly not for me. Pls cast the new sfx into fire or give me a mod for the old one... anything (i know no mod will be made but let me dream).
In reddit there's two groups thoose who like or dont mind the changes and thoose who really dislike it. I have seen a lot of players who didnt like it, but maybe i'm wrong.

Some players in our forum didnt like it too.
At least you can see that players who dont like the new sound, really want to go back. It's not even acceptable for them.
