    That's what I get for just skimming posts. I thought the list was over all songs that didn't make it.

    Greetings!

    Thanks for all the feedback regarding the Orchestrion and the Spinet.

    Perhaps when both items are installed it could be changed in one of the following ways:
    -Retain random functionality for spinet songs when the Orchestrion is installed.
    -Retain random functionality and expand it to the Orchestrion tracklist in addition to the spinet list.
    -Allow your last music selection to be retained so it loads the last thing you picked every time you enter the mog house.
    Currently, since there are certain effects from the complex Mog House system’s special specs, we’ve made it so the songs reset upon re-entry for safety reasons. (Compared to the Spinet, which plays songs randomly, having information saved and then loaded is a bit more difficult.) However, we will see if there is any way to do this.

    Starting out the amount of songs is somewhat low at the moment, but we created the Orchestrion with a key item system in place so that we can add more and more songs. With that said, we will be increasing the number of songs that can be obtained in the future.

    We are still deciding if these new songs will be obtained via events, quests, or NPCs, but we would like to provide fun ways to collect and listen to a variety of songs.

    Please have songs obtainable for beating whole expansions, such as having Distant Worlds available for beating CoP (unlocked with a miniquest of course... perhaps the Bards of Vana'diel could enlighten us as to how to obtain the music?).

    I'm aware that your response is a copy/paste from the Japanese forum. If you could get the dev team to somehow acknowledge/respond to my first 2 suggestions regarding the random song functionality (since this is already IN the game) I would appreciate it.

    For the record, I hated the "randomly plays upon entering Mog House" feature of the Spinet, and promptly passed the Porter Moogle my pains. ("This is clearly no substitute for the Harpischord I missed out on many years ago . . ." I mumbled.) I find the current Spinet + Orchestrion combo to work much more favorably than that, but if you can make it save a previously selected song, all the better!

    If you so badly want the spinet to play a random song when you enter.. simple solution is to take the orchestrion out. Problem solved!

    I 100% agree with tamarsamar.. I much prefer it now how I can enter my mh without fear of hearing abyssea music blaring... and I can simply select one of the other songs if i am going to be in mh for longer than a min

    As I stand looking out from my mog house window, I reminisce about the old days and the many ups and downs of my adventures throughout Vana'diel.

    It is then that I know achievement.

    This a thousand times. A bunch of quests / miniquests and your new Key Item gets added to a "Sheet Music" section under your key item menu. Like they've done with Abyssea, Voidwatch and Claim Slips.

    As much as I miss the random song selection, I admit there were times when I got home from a long day in Abyssea only to have its battle theme bombard my ears one last time before logout. I'd love to have previous song saved. There are a lot of songs I'd like to switch the MH theme to, but I don't like the idea of messing with .dats.

    Greetings!

    First off, thank you for all your feedback regarding the Spinet and Orchestrion! We'd like to respond to some feedback you guys provided:

    We are looking into the current setup to see what can be done about this. We'll be sure to update you all on the status as we move forward.

    The orchestrion controls the features of the spinet, so the random selection of tracks will stop.
    If we gave priority to the spinet’s random selection when the orchestrion is installed, it would result in the below inconveniences:
    • It will no longer be possible to select spinet tracks as you like
    • If you want to play a song other than what’s on the spinet, you’d have to remove the spinet each time.

    To have the spinet play songs at random all you need to do is remove the orchestrion, so I believe this way of doing it creates the least amount of undesirable results.

    We are seeing if it is possible to move the location of the Symphonic Curator. We'll let you know once we receive word!

    We appreciate the feedback! We will be making it so songs can be added, and we will use everyone's suggestions as reference for future decisions. Please wait a bit for when and how you can add songs!

    I can't help but wonder if the Tome Shelf will have more scores in it or open up more options for the orchestrion... and when can I try to win one again?
