    Unpopular opinion: The explosion sounds from the original SFX sounded like complete and utter garbage. The current explosion sounds are infinitely better. If anything, they should keep the current explosion sounds and change the blade portion of the sound back to the original, but only on Gnashing combo. Original Burst Strike SFX was completely awful.

    Thats not unpopular. A lot of people claim original SFX has weak explosions. But they have to adjust blade part of cartridge combo anyway, because it sounds like swinging a bat, not a blade. Possibly the best and cheapest solution would be taking original SFX, and apply explosions from 5.01 SFX.
    I personally have no issues with 5.0 SFX in the long run, but we are trying to find solution that satisfies as many people as possible.

    As Cetek said, it's not a very unpopular opinion. I'm partial to either right now but I know my sword should not be going *thump* with each swing and I definitely miss the sound of aether being compounded when I finished a combo. Also, not that I at ALL condone the use of mods of any sort or anything that goes against the ToS... but someone did in fact make a mod specifically using the old slashes but the new sounded explosions.... And it does sound INFINITELY better. I also felt like Fated Circle was very lacking back then but overall gnashing fang and the keen edge combos sounded MUCH better before, at least as far as slashing goes.

    A side note, I sent in yet another suggestion... Almost 6 paragraphs in length urging why we'd just like "AN ANSWER". At this point I just want them to acknowledge our existence.
