The New/Added Combat Sounds...Thoughts?

[Nerfworthy]

Oh no. I hope someone makes new videos for the new battle sounds soon. :/

I hope they didn't change anything with the voice I had. My character literally made no combat sounds at all(highlander, but I don't remember which voice option since it was years ago). I liked it that way. I don't need no combat grunts.

My Voice 9 viera (which already had her battle voice changed once before) very luckily seems to have the same voice actor for her new battle sounds, so it's an improvement It's probably because her voice was implemented in 5.0, so it's more recent, and probably more likely to get the same voice actor.

I suspect it was done to quell people who have complained since ARR about people who have loud and squeaky battle voices on their characters, being annoying in dungeons.
I personally never had any problems, but some people would get usually mad at squeaky miqo'te and lalafell.

Well, unfortunately mine now has a random “NYA!” sound that is much higher in pitch (and much louder) than the old voice sounds for my Miqo’te. I really dislike this, as the sounds really stick out to me during combat. And not in a good way. I picked Voice 2 because it suited Hyomin, but now it sounds like she’s pretending to be two different individuals. The new sounds are definitely a different VA from the old sounds in my voice.

I liked the idea of adding more grunts but theres a clear audio level and tone difference between the old and new ones. It just sounds inconsistent and odd (kinda like the new GNB sound "fix").

Devs are making new weird habit of changing perfectly fine things. First GNB sound effects, now combat voice. What's next?

I like new GNB sounds, and sorry maybe I am in minority that don't voice opinion

Male Hyur Midlander with voice 10.. It got a new "hya"/grunting combat voice that sounds nothing like its actual voice. I didn't realize they added new sounds until I was hitting a dummy and noticed it. I hate it. At least for my voice, the sound is very tacked-on feeling and no longer matches the original sound. The new voice is extremely high pitched for no apparent reason.

[Veila]

I'm not even sure Viera voice 10 has any new sounds.

Just tested out my monk, and not only do I not hear new sounds, I can BARELY hear her at all anymore, even with battle sounds and music at 0%....what the heck? She basically fights completely silent now. Even if I could hear it, it also sounds like it's less frequent.

[Arcian]

Absolutely terrible.

The Midlander voice I'm currently using is this annoyingly high, breathy "Ihhh!" now. I hate it.
Between that and making the full chakra SFX an obnoxiously loud and metallic SCHINNNG I'm playing with the sound off.

Good job, SE. Thanks for these changes that literally no one asked for.
