Vote for GNB Sounds

[Valic]

Wow, that is definitely better in the old sound. It's a lot more oomph for each hit. Some of the SFX even sounded like that "bullet sliding down steel" SFX you get in some anime or movies.

EXACTLY!!!!! You can also hear them in the job action trailer as the first job shown. Blasting zone had a bit more oomph to it then too, not sure why they changed that when the minority that complained was talking about the explosions on hits either.

Because aparantly the Japanese community (before the change) had people complaining that it sounded like they were attacking things with scissors... and when Japan complains, Square takes immediate action... When NA complains, though....

Also I voted yes to bring back the old sounds. I don't like attacking with a wiffle bat

I completely are on this aswell with you. The new sounds sound absolutely D U L L -no offense- If players are happy with today's sounds, let it be optional to have em or the original. Please Square Enix, hear us, please, bring the original sounds back. We beg you I don't even understand why they were changed, it's the SFX that made me instantly fell in love with the J O B. Absolutely. For me personally I can't understand why it was changed.... completely not. If you want to make both parties happy (cause I think they were changed maybe due to a minority) make it -as already mentioned- optional. Let the 5.0 Sounds for Gunbreaker be Default, and give people the possiblity to activate the "new" sounds, if they like it. Shouldn't be impossible. Regards!

I got solucion for you, option to set old and new sound in options ...

Then like 90% of playerbase would just set original in options. Either way it's better to create something that satisfies majority, we can't make everything customizable. And i wouldn't feel very comfortable knowing that there are players who hear that my sword sounds like a hammer.

Iirc, they SHOULD be able to do it like the bahamut size code. Where the player sets how big/small their bahamut is, but that doesn't define every single bahamut. In such a sense, we COULD get a toggle for old and new sounds but honestly, I'd feel weird knowing we're the only job that has a 2nd set of SFX. Still, to have that option would please the masses though and wouldn't force SE to create anymore sounds or unnecessary work.... If people don't like the new or old sounds at this point, don't play the damn thing.

Absolutely yes.


The current sounds are actively turning me off from playing the job, even though the job itself is really cool.

I joined around two months ago so I never got to experience the old sounds. The biggest change IMO was the 1-2-3 combo, where the clashing gunblade steel got replaced with paladin 2.

I thought I might share my opinions on it as well.

I leveled Gunbreaker solely through trusts. After awhile the sounds grew on me, each and every one of them. And that Final run of Mt.Gulg where I hit level 80 I will never forget.
2 mobs before the final boss, when I unlocked Blasting zone. The first time I heard that noise in game I was so happy and happy with Gunbreaker overall. (my fave tank at this point)

I loved the clink sounds of the parts in the Solid Barrel combo while slashing away. Same with gnashing fang combo, aoe combo, rough divide and even lighting shot. Blasting zone was just icing on the cake.

After the patch that they were "changed" I felt pretty upset. They no longer have the charm to them that I was used to and they just sound awful (like a hollow bat whacking things, no slashes at all).
And they changed almost 90% of the attacks sounds. Bow shock and Sonic break being the only unchanged to my knowledge.
The new sounds are no longer mechanical or have the clink (hard to describe the noise prior to changes but people who play gnb know) sound to them.

I was upset so I voiced my concerns about them only to be met with "my opinion doesn't matter" and told to "kill myself" which at the time of the new raids patch just made the whole experience unpleasant.
But Gunbreaker doesn't feel the same so I haven't felt like touching it since.

That aside, I dislike the new sounds and I know I'm not alone in disliking the new sounds and I and others would very much like the old sounds back. Please.

The job wasn't ruined for me personally, but I will of course give a +1 in support of bringing the old sounds back. The change was pointless to begin with imo.
