More sound effects for the game?

Just wanted to ask what are people’s opinion of the music/sounds of the game?

Does the current sounds create a better immersion when you playing?
Are some of the songs memorable?
Do any of the songs make you want to listen to them again?

For me, there are places where I feel the game’s sound hasn’t really tapped into the environment of the game’s setting. We are in lush vegetation, yet there is a lack of sound effects that makes it feel like I’m in a forest (walking through tall grass/broad leaves). Monster sounds also feel limited? I only hear some bosses growl, but not a lot of normal monsters have a natural sound to them. For the music, I do like the electronic songs for dungeons but I feel the music track needs more relaxing/warming musics to contrast with these upbeat music. But that could just be my personal tastes xD

EDIT:
From the comments below, I think some people are in favor of having some more SFX in the game like water/ wind/ trees wavering.

any more thoughts are appreciated ^^.

I love the soundtrack, but now that you mention it there is a lack of sound effects for the environment. Like you said grass sounds, wind, etc. And it does break immersion

the music is amazing.
probably the missing sounds effect is because IMC decide to give more importance at the music?

music is also a form of doping,so you can grind more easily :sweat_smile:

just kidding,but im sure they decided to omit a great amount of sound effects,cant imagine why.

Also, character skill’s voice are expected to change in the final release. On one of those old dev posts, they said that they used people from their team to dub the voices.
By the way, I think the music (bgm) is fantastic. All the sound effects of skills are specially good, most sounds are rewarding. Yet some sound effects could be implemented as @Platymelon said. Wind and water specially.

ToS does have an option for people to set the volume of the BGM and SFX, so I’m not sure why IMC would omit SFX in favor of the music. ^^;

Currently, the only notable sounds I hear are boss roars, monster cries, and the skills SFX. I think more environment SFX would definitely make the world livelier. :smile:

Love the soundtrack, but I agree there are some sound effects missing. I played an archer in ICBT and particularly oblique shot and double shot (C3) could use a sound effect when firing. There were times when party grinding large mobs that I couldn’t even tell if oblique shot was firing until I looked to see my SP decreasing.
