Vote for GNB Sounds

I'm still here also. Still for either revert or mixed, current ones are still very upsetting and disappointing and I know Soken could do so much better.

To be fair, the explosion sounds are fantastic. It's...everything else that could use some work. Like I've said, not a deal breaker, but it'd be nice.

I picked GNB up when ShB released and I must say the old sounds were very satisfying. It felt like you were pulling a trigger with each attack, simultaneously the OG sounds gave off this feeling of pressure regarding the gunblade. Only after a few months when I picked it back up I realized those sounds were gone. I do like GNB but I must admit it kind of feels like you're beating things with an aliminium bat. Kind of sad SE has to adjust because some people can't deal with this and threads like these exist with so much support.

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.

not just the trailer.
If you have/make an alt / buy a boost, then pick up the GNB unlock quest, when you first meet the hrothgar trainer dude, that cutscene showing off some of the skills still uses the original sound effects.
So it's not like they aren't still in the game, but we just cannot have them.

I second this, I always followed the thread but now I'm writing here 'cause, as many have said, SFX sounds on GNB are not very representative of its weapon, and a "slash" effect would be much Better.

Wait... does Soken do the SFX?
I thought he was only on the music.

I'll freely admit I attribute Soken to being in charge of the overall sound team. But I'm not certain if that's the case at all honestly.

I just know: NA Feedback; on the OF; in Tank section... it's an uphill fight to get seen at best

Unless the JP side of things makes a fuss chances are nothing significant will happen. If I remember right though, they were just as confused as we were when these changes were made. At this point, the only thing I could suggest is having someone who knows their Japanese (so not me lol) make a post on the JP forums. Never know. There's nothing to lose by trying.

There was indeed a "fuss" back when the SFX was changed you can probably still find it in JP general discussion but it has since been died down. For the dev incharged of the SFX you can find him on youtube The Creation of FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers – Episode Five: Spawning the Sounds (CC) at 9:00 mark.

Gotcha. Well, if the thread still exists it might not hurt to attempt to bring renewed interest there.
