GNB sound change not mentioned in the liveletter

opinion fellas?

not sure what much more we can do other than complain and suggest in game,but at the moment it feels like they wont address this and quietly sweep it under the rug.

I'm hoping they at least do something if they wont recognize it or talk about it with us. This is prolly the most BS thing I've seen them do.

These new sounds are not different. They are simpy extremely bad. Failed design. One handed blade cannot sound like a very heavy blunt hammer. I simply cannot believe that someone in dev team thought it was good idea. It's almost like they did it on purpose to punish us (that vocal minority) for complaining in the first place.

It simply cannot be accepted. I often hear when people say 'Yeah job is fun but sound design is very bad". Keep discussing about it, keep sending suggestions, spread the word on the internet. This is far from over.

Because a number of players in the Japanese base are content with the changes, granted some do think a one or two things could still be adjusted again but not so much that it's a priority requiring an immediate fix. It's just not that important enough when other things need attention.

Agreed, the job may play fine but I'm not going to just forget how it was released and its intended sound design just like that. I still feel so blah when I'm doing raids and junk.

You seen their forums lately? There's more upset with the new sounds atm than what seems like there were before. Eve with this, you'd think the other things mechanically broken would take more attention than changing the GNB sounds only 3 weeks into the new expansion.

To be fair they basically told all ast, to suck it even though every region has unanimously been unhappy with the job.

Yes I have read them (your attempt at Google translate is only giving you half the story with your thread) and the opinion on the sounds is not as bad as westerners are making it out to be, but again it's not a priority. Could the sounds be adjusted yeah JP could accept that, but reverted completely no as they were changed for a reason to begin with.

ユーザーの要望に応えて、迅速に手を加えたことは、素晴らしい対応であると思います。

しかし、音の調整に関しては、個人の好みに依るところがあるため、合理的に善し悪しを照らし合わせられるものでは無いですし、今回のように、全くの別物に差し替えてしまうのは、元々のSEが好きだった人に対しては、悪影響になるということを考慮していなかったのでしょうか。

私自身はSEに対する特別な拘りはありません。ですので、差替えられた新SEの感触についての善し悪しについては語りません。
ですが、今回の新SEは、実際にプレイしていて支障をきたすレベルで違和感を覚えます。
まず、パーティープレイの場において、他の音が混ざる環境であると、ガンブレイカーの新SEが低音であるため、自身の攻撃音が聴こえません。その為、攻撃動作と音が連動している感覚が掴めず、攻撃している感覚がありません。
私自身のプレイ環境にも問題はあるかと思われますが、自分の効果音100%、パーティー・他者の効果音50%で今までプレイしてきましたが、パーティー・他者の効果音を50%に下げた状態の環境ですら、自身の攻撃音が聴き取りにくいほどに今のガンブレイカーのSEは低音です。

SEはユーザーが選択できるものでもなければ、任意で差替えられるものでもないため、流石にここまで大きく手を加えるべきではなかったと思います。
手を加えるのであれば、旧SEの爆発音を調整するなど、旧SEから大きく逸れることのない、細かな単位で音を調整して頂きたかったです。

This player pretty much hits on the head. They understand a change was needed but at the same time, some of the sounds could be adjusted again for certain actions.

If japanese players think that swords should sound like hammers just make the change for JP, and revert it for NA and EU.
If someone is able to post on JP forums it would be highly helpful, we need to keep fighting everywhere we can.

And if you send them suggestions in game remember to be civil. The fact that they disrespect us doesn't mean we should disrespect them.

im pretty surprise the lack of GNB and DRK mention in the live letter specially both of them have been top trending on the forum, im kinda expect it on DRK, seems like his curse of being ignored remain strong as ever but GNB and his sound problem could get a small mention or something.

on the other side they mention the duration of some defensive skills, meaby TBN idk, at least seems like WAR will get some love as usual.

the change achieved nothing tho, instead of balancing the high end and lower end of the sounds they just cut the high end and jacked up the explosion sound.even the explosion sounds are nothing spectacular in my opinion they all sound too similar,have you tried playing it in content? barely anything can be heard against the sound of mechanics and other effects its honestly terrible.

it feels like a rushed out band aid to shut ppl up quickly but created more problems than fixing them
