About a month since this change was implemented, I've noticed several unsettling developments.
- I've shifted to healing entirely, not touching my "main" job Bard anymore.
- I don't feel inclined anymore to level my Warrior beyond doing the Pixie Beast Tribe quests and the weekly chocobo leveling challenge log by doing FATEs. I also find myself muting my character's voice every time I play a melee/physical ranged character, even though I love her voice.
- I'm enjoying the game less than I usually do.


To some degree, part of these elements can be attributed to risking burnout from playing the game for two years non-stop. But this change to battle voice has more and more felt like a travesty towards my character because I regrettably cannot appreciate the changes made and I'm shifting away from any activity where this change is apparent.


I love my character, I love the game, I don't like these added battle voices to my chosen voice. I haven't found any acknowledgement of the concerns mentioned in this thread and haven't yet found an option to opt-out of it.


Please, just make it an option from the menu so people can simply revert to their old sounds or keep the new sounds at their own discretion.
