so servers came up early so i figured i would test stuff out, i can confirm the issue is still alive and prevalent at least on my end. at first it didn't seem as bad, i ran a FATE and it crackled here and there. then i did trial roulette and did the Moogle fight and boy was it awful. I either don't think they know about *this* specific audio issue, or simply put, the systems that are having this issue can't handle this new sound engine they put in and its time to upgrade. its sad but i don't see this getting fixed.
