Vote for GNB Sounds

The strangeness of the new sounds might be stemming from the absence of the "combo ping/zing" sound effect that is supposed to play when you successfully complete a weaponskill combo. For whatever reason, this sound effect doesn't play anymore since patch 6.0, and as such weaponskill sounds always seem like they're "cut off" or otherwise sound like you simply used the ability out-of-order or pressed it without it being "lit up" as part of a combo.

The actual sound effect file of the combo ping/zing (whatever you want to call it) seems to still be there, it just looks like for whatever reason the game isn't calling it up anymore. No idea if it's intentional or accidental. I hope it's the latter, because the sound effect was helpful to know if you were performing properly just by listening, and the sound effect also made up a portion of what we perceive as the "correct way" that weaponskills sound (since we should have always heard them sound this way up until now).

What was the point of doing that... You'd think they want people to use their combo correctly and then this. I suppose you can also go 3-2-1 right Square?

I miss the sounds, the whole impact is significantly reduced now.

amazing this thread is still here 2 years goin strong. keep at it, hopefully the ffxiv team will at least give the option the change switch out the sounds. I remember gunbreaker was my favorite job by far when it came out, but the hollow cardboard banging sound ruined it for me. The og sounds synced with the the hits perfectly and sounded great. Dont know what compelled them to so this. I hope they change it or atleast give the option to switch out at some point, there is no way they have not seen this thread. I know Pc has a mod for the sound effects that make them sound like the og but alas Im a console peasant. Im rocking with reaper atm, which is amazing and fluid but I would switch back to gunbreaker in a heart beat if the sounds changed back.

I hope we get the old gnb sounds back

It's really funny coming across this thread. I started playing a couple of months ago and as soon as I unlocked Gunbreaker, the first thing I noticed was how annoying the sound effects were for my 1-2-3 combo. I had no idea they had different sound effects before this, but the fact that I instantly noticed it should really say something to how bad the current SFX are. I looked up the trailer after I saw this thread and I would love for the sound effects to go back to the way they were before.

I didn't know about this. Where could I check the original sounds?

Check out the original Gunbreaker trailer on YouTube. I like the original sounds WAY better.

The very first cutscene after picking up the job quest, to my knowledge, still has the original sounds used.

The current / then-new sounds are used first, the original launch sounds second.

Man, those old SFX sound so nice and crisp.
