Vote for GNB Sounds

[Kyser96]

Since we're coming up on Endwalker, now is the time to bring this to the Devs' attention.

Since we won't get any changes in Shadowbringers, they at least need to take another look at the job and fully realize its identity from a sound effects viewpoint. Paladin is pretty raw sword sounds with holy magic sounds layered in. Warrior is super weighty and barbaric. Dark Knight has heavy dark magic vibes to all of it's attacks. Gunbreaker is... an unfinished mix between the old light slicing knife and the new version that seemed to be made and pushed to live in a week.

It's not even about "old vs new" at this point, they need to take a pass over the entire sound design of the job and make the entire thing fit some sort of identity.

If it were a normal fanfest year, I would've travelled to Fanfest to ask about the gunbreaker sounds in person.

Not willing to let this go.

Picked up ff13 and 8 from a steam sale, and gotta say I'd love to know how a sound engineer like Soken's okay with the way gunblades in this game sound as they do now. Lightning's attacks don't sound like a big lunky hunk of iron slapping the surface of a pool, and neither does Squalls.

I'd be fine if they reverted these changes, but it still doesn't make or break the job for me.

Not gonna lie, the ill-fitting sounds has negatively affected my ability to enjoy the job. Enough so that I still believe this topic shouldn't just be brushed aside just because "it's an uphill battle to get anywhere." I know that what I have to say probably doesn't reach anyone in charge, but I remember what being a DRK in stormblood was like. I'd rather not allow another situation of something I enjoy being mucked with, then people accepting what we get with a terse grimace because "at least it's something."

I don't think SE cares about it at all anymore if we consider how easily they changed the original SFX so change it back should be extremly easy, even making a mix of old and new ones like the moded version wich take less than a week to be done should be easy to make and implement to end this already but considering we are reaching the end of the expansion without they even care about it i doubt they will do anything at all and thats so sad bcs GNB feels worse with the current sfx, im personally tired of not hearing and distinguish the combo sounds effects of a properly executed combo from a none one.

[Kolsykol]

Still want the original sound effects back too, it hasn't gotten better the GNB sound effect sounds more like a bat still .

[Karious]

They still did us dirty with gunbreaker, and are still advertising the class with the original sounds on their youtube trailers. No explanation as to why it was changed after all this time. I sure hope they don't give the new Endwalker DPS class a bunch of really sick sound effects and then make them mundane two weeks into launch because 12 people on the forum start crying about it.
