Is there any chance that GNB's Keen Edge combo sound effect will be reverted to the original?

Everything has to be reverted. The difference between 123 combo and cartridge combo is so big it feels like using different weapons. It's very incoherent.
5.0 sounds were top tier, now it feels very low quality and bland (including explosions). It doesn't sound like a gun, or a blade, and certainly not like a gunblade.
Just revert it Square Enix and end this mess. Barely anyone complained in 5.0. I haven't seen more than 2-3 people satisfied with 5.01 changes.

^ this, keen edge isn't the only issue, but basically everything that changed is bleh.

Dear Yoshi P,

Please don’t change any audio. It’s the masses who don’t mind the noises or like them that don’t say anything. Only a minority of people who do not like the sounds are complaining, because people only express negativity not positivity. (This is different from wanting something new). Just speaking for the Gunbreakers who love it as it is.

You are very wrong my friend. https://www.strawpoll.me/18398181/r
Current Gunbreaker sounds are a failure. They have to be reverted or at least reworked to something else. But this is a waste of resources, since we can use perfect 5.0 sounds.
Keep in mind barely anyone expressed negativity in 5.0. Now we have a storm here on OF. There is only one way to stop it.
