    Many SHB job actions need much louder/more impactful sound effects

    These include but are not limited to:
    PLD: Confiteor
    DRK: Delirium, Edge/Flood of Darkness/Shadow
    WHM: Afflatus Solace, Dia, Afflatus Misery, Afflatus Rapture

    These are the only jobs I've leveled up so far, and just reading the patch notes about how GNB sounds got "adjusted" makes me even more worried about this since GNB's louder sounds were one of the biggest reasons it felt so good and satisfying to play. The low sounds of these particular actions make them feel no where near as good or fun to use, nor does it accurately convey just how significant or powerful they are. For example, PLD's Holy Spirit has a very distinctive "thud" to it, and you can hear it pretty much any time you use it during mechanics or large pulls. However, Confiteor feels like it doesn't make a sound at all most of the time. These kinds of things really make these jobs and actions much less fun to use. It feels like SE wanted to have some weird design philosophy with all the new actions to ensure they had very low sound effects for some reason, and I think that needs to be addressed.

    Put DRG Stardiver in this list. It's nowhere close to Dragonfire Dive.

    Ninja's Raiton and Katon need their impactful booms back. Now they just sound like a leaf on the wind.

    Raiton sounds like a small short circuit inside a wall outlet in your house, and Katon sounds like a calm campfire. There's no "umph" to these anymore. The old lightning strike sounds for Raiton was perfect because well.......it was a lightning strike. Katon is supposed to sound like a roaring flame explosion since it's an aoe.

    I can understand nerfing katon a bit though as it's upgraded version is obviously bigger so that makes sense, but taking away the lightning strike boom from Raiton just to show inferiority to the new Hyoton upgrade is not the way to go imo. They're two different elements. Now I could understand if they upgraded Raiton like they did Katon, but it's not the case.

    When if comes to Combatsounds this Game was always very... "calm"? It is like they are afraid to put in proper Sword or Gunsounds for the Playerjobs

    To be honest, one of the things that puts me off GNB is how noisy it is compared to most of the other classes. >_>

    GNB burst skills seem very underwhelming int heir effects and sounds and as a blm I’m very disappointed by xenoglossy. It’s blink and miss it, fire 2 has more style and flare (excuse the pun) than xenoglossy. I sometimes wonder if I’ve even cast it as you miss it amount all the other things going on
