    I can barely hear my gnb in raids now

    I got every sound effect and music to 100, the new 1-2-3 combo sound seems muffled (like cutting soft cardboard and getting stuck in it). Everything else is lounder while raiding, it's almost like playing with just the music on now.

    Explosions are still weak in fights, i could ear the blm and drg a lot better than myself... It doesnt sound like a gunblade but more like a flamethrower-blade or a flamethrower-bat.

    Original ones were perfect imho, i always heard them during fights. New ones are dull and bland, and they are lost during battle. At least i don't have to listen to that cacophony. I really hope for revert, or at least further improvements (of original ones, new ones should be casted into fire).

    watched some gnb videos today prior to the change, and even fully zoomed out (how i nornally have my camera in dungeons/raids/etc) you can hear everything clearly. i love the cartridge combo prior to the change; it sounds heavy hitting, but clear sounding. same with keen edge combo.

    now i'm forced to zoom in as close as possible if i want to hear anything. it sounds like i'm swinging a stick. :/ truly disappointed with these changes.

    I have to wach my hotbar a lot more because i dont hear anything, they removed all the sounds that made gnb confortable. I use my hears a lot while playing, now gnb just sucks for me and it's the 1rst and only job i have to max lvl.

    100% agree. The new explosion sfx sound more like a flamethrower or a raging furnace than an actual explosion. There is almost zero impact/attack to the sound.
    Overall the new sounds are all just kind of muddy. Makes playing GNB feel a bit dull, flat, and detached when compared to how clean and crisp each button press used to feel.

    Didn't even realize this was a post. Yeah, I get lost in my rotation all the time now no matter what I'm running. Doesn't help during hunts when there's multiple gunbreakers either and all with the same loud booms that all sound like the same skills of the same job for everything we do. Its pretty hard to distinguish.
