Vote for GNB Sounds

[Seraphor]

Didn't they originally change the sounds because of player feedback?

I honestly don't have a problem with them, and I'm sorry for you if they really bother you that much, but presumably more people disliked the original sounds than dislike the current sounds?
They can't just keep yo-yoing back and fourth based on who shouts loudest.

I like it as is and didn't like the old sounds. I think it's honestly unreasonable for people to want a toggle, because not only does it look like bizarro design, what about other jobs? Why does GNB get an option only? (that will go on the sound menu??)

Heck. If we're talking special treatment, I want SAMs only muted entirely, Holy given another sfx for spam and DNC changed to wind sounds so parties with more than my own wont be [rattling] CHING CHANG CHONG FWOOSH

There was a very small thread when shadowbringers first came out, the backlash to the change was multiple times larger than the number of people who were complaining about the original sounds on both the JP and the EN side. This just a case of SE jumping the gun on feedback and being too stubborn to change back.

The biggest flaw is we don't actually know why it changed.

The original thread was like 13 posts long between seven people on the English forums, presumably something similar on the Japanese forums, and the exact content was just that the bang needed more buck.

Given how many little threads exist and how often they're ignored, it seems unlikely that it was the catalyst for change. All we can do is speculate, as they haven't said much on the matter.

That said, there are options for one to take who have sensitive enough hearing to pick them out in the cacophony of normal gameplay.

The only issue with those options is when a new expansion comes out and new abilities are inevitably added, there won't be a way to change those sounds without someone putting in some major effort :/
