    It's more of an imbalance of the volume and a change in pitch with the slash sounds. All that needed to be changed was increase the volume of the explosions themselves, leave everything else alone. I'd like for them to go back to the old one but keep our gnashing fang how it is now to some degree... I wouldn't mind hearing both the slice and the explosion, not JUST the explosions. Overall, I feel like I can't hear my own skills or tel even with everyone's skills turned down in volume. I can't tell what I'm hitting because everything sounds the damn same... At least with the old one I could feel the hacks and slashes and the explosions boosted the effects. Now people are like MORE EXPLOSIONS and now all I hear is nothing but to where I can't tell my hits apart from the next. It's like everyone asked for everything to sound like a fell cleave, so now our ""fell cleave" sounds like everything else we do. There's no longer satisfaction in the combo now because its all the same sound effect, no difference in slicing sounds even. Old one sounded like it flowed from one into the next and the explosions just needed a volume raise.

    EDIT: I think Id just like our old keen edge combo back. The new gnashing fang is alright sounding. Our old blasting zone too please.

    Slice, Gunshot, and Explosion, is what GNB sound effects should be... not flailing a stick around like a PLD...

    Does PLD sound change if you're using one of those stick/plank weapons?

    Myself, I can't help it but Keen Edge really sounds like it should be on MNK.

    Doubt it but I hate the sound of just flailing a stick around... No real impact whatsoever... Old sound effects had more impact...
