Gunbreaker is more Siefer than Squall. A disappointing realization.

[Jaydarksol]

Tbh... I like Seifer, so this isn't disappointing to me. They gave us JUST FINE SOUND EFFECTS TO BEGIN WITH, then people complained because good god their nostalgia ruins this effing game's newest job. No one complained prior to its release how it sounded, they just loved we were getting it. Now people QQ over every detail, now we have crappier sounds GG. Gunblades just need to be longer, only issue there. We use two hands for some of the attacks too so idk why everyone's QQ'ing about that now. Ya'll need to stop complaining about things that don't matter and sound just fine, this is FFXIV, not FF8, not dissidia. FINAL FANTASY FOURTEEN. Stop whining for your dumb false nostalgia and making SE do unnecessary work.

Yes its based off FF8, everything else in this game is based off some FF, but they at least take some time to adjust it to feel new and fresh, enjoyable. Whoever whined about the sounds deserves a suspended account imo because now I have to find a new main AGAIN after spending weeks gearing and leveling this job. All because some kids go "wah I can't hear explosions, it needs to sound like a cannon vomiting michael bay farts wah MUST BE EXACTLY LIKE SQUALL GUNBLADE FROM FF8 CUZ VIBRATION OF PS1 TRIGGER FEELING OOMPH". Thanks for ruining something nice kids, I'm an FF8 fan, only one I truly played through and through and I didn't need these changes.

I understand your jaded feeling towards posts similar to this, however the most iconic gunblade wielder is Squall, he is the poster child of every idea of it. Even the collectors edition of shadowbringers came with Squalls revolver.
Its difficult not to base this class look off ff8 as it is where it comes from, and what made it virturally everything it was. The animations must have the essence of what made the gunblade so likeable. Players even so many years after understand that the gunblade is tied to Squall. This is where my disappointment rests. the main inspiration for this entire class is from FF8, the most iconic character associated with the weapon is squall, so why choose to favor Seifer?

If its their choice to do so then great! the gunbreaker isnt for me. But it goes against the entire promotion and somewhat underhands the look and feel.
There is nothing wrong about what i am saying, you may disagree but thats ok too im not going to bash you like you did a number of your fellow fans of the game/nostalgia.

As for the sound of the gunbreaker animations, the heavier sound is better than the *tink* sound it had, they are not daggers.

Because it's a gunblade, the job isnt tied to a character. They're based off them, they aren't them. Idc about your FF8 nostalgia, the animations are fine. I'm not jaded on anything, I just can't stand when people get so greedy they think something new and nice needs to change for THEIR memories and nostalgia. Nothing about it goes against the promotion, they showed what it'd be like with Thancred with both the sounds and magic ammunition, it plays well, sounded great, and has beautiful animations. My "fellow" fans ruined this job's sounds, I'm gonna bash whoever ruins my favorite job because "LOL MY NOSTALGIA MUST BE OR IT TRASH". You people who aren't satisfied with your lot demand more and then ruin it for everyone else, the minority of people who complained here about the sounds, as now brought about 10x as many people complaining about the changes. Stop begging for your nostalgia to be forced on a new job that's RESEMBLES gunblades of FF8, its FF14, you're not squall or seifer, those are bonus easter eggs for knowing the game, get over it.


As for the "tink", there's more of a "TINK" now than before. I can't even hear slashes now, it nothing but loud muffled explosions for 90% of our skills while we hit something with cardboard. All of your complaints are invalid and clouded by your nostalgia for something that NEVER SOUNDED like this, and never needed to be a carbon copy of the exact characters you grew up with. Again, get over it, its a new game, new style, you're not Squall, this isn't FF8, its all references and that's it. Leave our gunbreaker alone, you people have done enough. It's already based enough off of FF8, you don't need more.

And AGAIN, I am an FF8 fan, but a true FF8 fan loves that game, they don't try to force the design on new ones. FF14 was clean, cirsp, precise, you could hear the triggers, clicks of the gunblade, like it had inner mechanics, as well as very steel scraping sounding slashes coupled with explosions that highlighted this. It's not a boom stick, it's not a cannon, there is currently no "blade" in it right now if you listen to our base combo hitting an object, it sounds like cardboard, blunt, its not a stick. It didn't sound like daggers, play NIN and tell me it was exactly the same I dare you. NIN sounded thinner, MUCH thinner, old GNB sounds had heavy swings but light/steel-like slashes. I'm sorry but your nostalgia is covering your judgement in this. I'll bet you hated Eden too lmao.
