Vote for GNB Sounds

[samuraipew7]

I'm still here also, still passionate about them being changed. And I have been sending feedback in game too. I was holding out for 5.3 like Shao, to see if anything gets changed. Still sad this thread has reached this size and still nothing, not a peep from SE. It's been a year almost since they up and changed them so more than ample "try and get used to time" but nope they still sound and feel horrible, which is a shame because I love Gunbreaker otherwise. Just the sounds hold me back on enjoying playing it a lot.

Yeah it's very sad that no matter how much we try we get no answer from SE. Even though they are a great company, sometimes they commit bad decisions like letting these sounds linger. Gnb with the current sounds is just hard to play and feel satisfied. It's very boring and non impactful.

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.

Exactly. We are not pure yoyoing like you said, because there has been a lot of suggestions in this exact thread about how to move forward. Easy fix would be a best of both worlds, combining some of the old sfx and keeping the more impactful new sfx. But again that may only be me. But keep the current cart spenders as is and maybe revert the rest thus keeping the "impact" on the actual charged blade swings (gnashing combo, burst strike, fated) and at the same time allow the non cart related skills to keep the old blade sound ( 1-2-3, aoe 1-2, rough divide, blasting zone, lightning shot). I think you'd find most would be perfectly happy with something like or similar to this. It makes the people that liked the old sword sfx sounds happy, while at the same time keeping the players happy who thought the cart spenders originally were "not impactful enough" keeping them at current sfx.

Full revert is a thing too but I do understand there might be the small amount of people that maybe never played pre 5.01 GNB so they are used to/like the new sounds. And asking SE to create a 3rd set is abit too much I'll admit, which is why mixing both seems the most logical way to do it, to not only fix it finally and easily but to keep both sides happy.

I would imagine those who did play the old pre-5.01 GNB are actually the minority, seeing as that was a span of two weeks and it's been nearly a year since then.

What fully annoying me is the fact that some ppl complaying about the sounds, to be more specific the lack of explosive sounds, and change the whole thing a month later after release and then when the backslash happen and ppl complain about how bad the new ones are they say they will think about it if there is enough feedback.

in other words they immediately changes GNB sounds without letting anyone really get use to them bcs the feedback back then was like 3 weeks old only and then when ppl raise way more complains they say bring more feedback and wait for it like a year of feedback? this is complety irrational.

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.
