The New/Added Combat Sounds...Thoughts?

[Nerfworthy]

Viera voice 9 sounds really good, I gotta say.

If they're going to make changes to our characters without asking us, they should at least give us a Fantasia for free so we don't have to pay them for the privilege of them screwing up our characters.

I'm using voice 3 on my cat (the Yukari Tamura one), and the new grunt sounds like it's from her as well. So I can't complain about this addition.

i made a quick video just demonstrating the huge difference here (no visual because i have really bad fps) because why not

i'd honestly advise using the in game feedback as well at this point because i do not want to settle for this laziness im forced to listen to. at least with gunbreaker, i'm not forced to play it

This is one of those things that really bothers me. I use miqo voice 1 and the new voices don't sound ANYTHING at all like her normal voice. I want them gone or redone tbh. It's like a different VA did the new voice. Either there should be an option or they should revert it, imo.

Okay people...You're only noticing these things because they're new, and because they're new, they feel out of place simply by virtue of them not being there before, regardless as to if they work or not.

You'll get used to them in a few weeks or months, and you'll never notice the difference.

You gotta remember that people make weird sounds under stress. Even the burliest man with the deepest of voices might make a high pitched squeak if he had to swing a big lug of metal around all the time without even enough time in between to breathe, so i dont think its really all that unreasonable that the new voices sound slightly different.

Personally? Its a good thing for me...I think im using voice...12? 12? 11? One of the higher numbered ones, with a low pitch, i forget...whatever doesnt matter...But before patch day i'd only ever hear ONE battle sound coming out of her mouth, it got a bit robotic, this change is good for that even if it is a tiny bit off.

For me personally, once I notice a stark difference in something that I’ve been exposed to on a near daily basis for an extended period of time, I cannot unnotice it, no matter how much time has passed. My character making a NYAH squawk randomly during combat that she never made before won’t be something that I “get used to”.

Unfortunately, none of the other Miqo’te voices have ever appealed to me. So changing it isn’t an option. I honestly wish they’d just added a few new voices as options rather than sticking sounds in existing voices that people may not appreciate. Messing too much with established characters is very iffy because, sure: you will have some who like it, some who are neutral, some who don’t even notice...but you’ll also get those that don’t appreciate the changes made with little to no forewarning.

I'm enjoying the added battle voices. Now my Viera doesn't sound like she's on a hyperactive warpath the entire time. The added variety is great and it is sounding great on my friend's characters as well.

I have nothing against more variety. But I don’t think adding said variety to existing assets like this is the best way to go about adding it. All of my friends that I’ve asked about their new sounds don’t like them, because they say their characters sound odd or “out of place”. My BFF who plays a female Midlande (Voice 5, I believe) says one noise is way too high-pitched for their character, whom they always imagined with a lower voice as opposed to higher.

To each their own, but I would have preferred the voice variety not be added this way. Not even sure what prompted the idea that they needed to change in the first place, if I’m being honest.

if I had to guess, I'm thinking it was voiced on the Japanese side of the forums and other social media. I've never noticed any requests for that here.

Or maybe they're just bad. Or are we supposed to get used to things like this as well?

God I regret looking that up and playing it to make sure it's the right one.
