It not even a debate
listen to this before and after

makes me wanna cry. the metal sounds felt so good and synced perfectly with each hit. vs these day, it sounds like im getting wacked by a blunt/cardboard dildo.
also I made a complaint thread in the feed back section, if you guys want to chime in to keep it alive, so they could potentially see it
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...AKER-SOUNDS%21
I wonder how the person(s) who originally complained about the OG GNB sounds and is the reason SE changed them feel(s) to this day. I wonder if they're happy with the new sounds.
I like to think that somewhere out there, this person is enjoying his "THUMP THUMP" THUMP, THUMP" "THUMP THUMP, THUMP.....THUMP" as their character swings a big metallic bladed weapon around. I wonder if, when they made their complaints, that what we ended up having it replaced with was exactly what they envisioned as the perfect sound effects. Despite how much we complain, someone out there is happy with it.
I hope.

well maybe in 6.1 guys. its beginning of the next saga so it hopefully they do a bunch of overhauls for things, including the sounds. keep this thread alive. amazing how a couple people complained and it got changed originally but when a overwhelming majority complain to get it changed...... silence. lets keep this thread alive so they might finally cave and do it. also leave you thoughts in this threas in the feedback forum.

gonna keep bumping this thread overtime. It might seems stupid for a sound, but it legit ruins a feel of a job that felt amazing at the launch of shadow bringers. Also if your just as butthurt about the sound be sure to comment is this feedback thread here: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...AKER-SOUNDS%21
were gonna get this changed!(yes I know Im being a salty C**NT lol.)
bumpity bump
Its a pity that console players are stuck with the blunt combo sounds, when the ones from 5.0 and the trailer were clearly superior.
Did this question get ignored in the live letter?
The last time it was addressed they were like "Give the new sounds time! I'm sure you'll like them!". By the time that statement was issued, the new sounds had already been out far longer than the old ones ever were. Clearly they don't care.
unpopular opinion: neither set of sound effects is very good for GNB. The old ones are very tinny and empty, a blade that thick and heavy wouldn't have that metallic ring to it, it should be much lower pitched if it exists at all, and the newer ones with the THWACK sound less empty but are awful in their own way, especially that stock punch sound effect.
They had the gunblade sound effects perfect back in 1999... there's no reason they can't get this right 23 years later.
