Chiming in with my first post to complain about the GNB sounds. This is especially shameful with the FF8 remake coming out soon, so people will know this goofy blunt object we swing at people sounds nothing like the weapons they're modeled after in FF8. I really hope they revert it back. All they had to do was increase the explosion sounds because they were muted. Please listen to this man make PUNCHING sounds they use for TV/movies and tell me this doesn't sound exactly like the new Solid Barrel combo: https://youtu.be/ArqiTny3ZoM?t=11

This is just sad. These weapons were treated in FF8 like they required the skill of a fencer to wield properly without injuring the user, as if they needed great finesse, but they sound like baseball bats being swung by a caveman in this game and it's an extreme buzzkill. Here's hoping they decide to revert the changes and just boost the explosions for Fated Circle and the Gnashing Fang combo.
