Petition to remove "Ha Ha, HaHaHAHa, HEEYE!" from the left-side channel of crowd ambi

Look who's talking...

We've spoken with the development team about the ambient voices, and Sound Director Masayoshi Soken clued us in on some of the particulars for crafting the commotion that is made in cities and the other ambient noises. Primarily, it would be difficult to turn them off individually. Technically speaking, we would need to have a massive amount of settings added to turn each of these on/off.

For example, there are around 100-200 bug noises, including different sounds for monsters and ambient noises, so including all of these would make the setting screen look pretty ridiculous!

However, while it might not be perfect, we would like to make adjustments so you can listen to the sounds you want using an easier to understand format. Specifically, we will be making it possible to adjust the volume by adjusting a "sounds generated by others" parameter in the sound settings. This will allow you to change the volume of other players' crafting noises etc. If possible we'd like to separate the sounds for yourself, party, linkshell, and other characters so you can change the volume for each, but we are still looking into the specifics for this feature

.

FINALY!!!! now we can gather or walk in town without others sounds being 50 times louder than what we generate no mater how low sounds have been set!

I actually like all the sounds in the game.

Even the one in crowded areas.

I'd like an option to turn off PLAYER CHARACTER voices but keep NPC voices at normal volume. Right now if you're tired of hearing your character go "HEEYAAA!" "HA!" "OOF!" "OYA!" during combat, your only option is to turn down all voices. Unfortunately that also includes boss voices and cutscene voices, which is ridiculous.

I swear that lalafell voice is close to the one I have.

I like crafting noises, I like NPC voices, I hate the loud crazy hussle bussel of random noise you get when around the MBs and the summoning bell. I use the MB on the outer edges of the markets but the summoning bell is either in the middle or in my house. Allow us to just turn off that freakn crowd noise.

Some carpenter sound I think sounds like a guy breathing down my neck. Very creepy, jarring and loud. I have to mute the sound fx or whatever method is quickest to silence that particular sound. The option to mute other crafters would be really nice. It just occurred to me I'd be leveling carpenter one day with that same sound, so maybe after that I'll get used to it.

I thought I was the only one haunted by this. Seeing this thread gives me a little relief. That lalafell laugh is so loud it cuts through whatever I am doing like a knife.

"Uwah!"
Anyone else hear that? XDDD
And remove Bard users annoying ass sounds.

Could you please, please, please add an option to turn off the battle music so that I can enjoy the soundtrack for the zone.

This is why I enjoyed 1.0's battle music and leve themes, it pretty much incorporated parts of the zone's music into it.
