Mute Button for the Main Theme(Let us turn the Title screen Music off)

I'd like this feature too. Actually, a Mute feature in the game would be nice. It would be more convenient than turning the volume up and down manually.

I would kill for mute 5 toons logging in can't hear myself mfing think worst part of the game experience ever....

Just an idea for those who are so very annoyed by this 'issue': adjust system sound for the duration of the title-screen. ^^;

Would be the track: Wings of the Goddess, assuming that expansion is installed. I do prefer that, or even the original Vana'diel march over the Adoulin theme (which I don't have yet, so ha!). The title shouldn't be that loud and all over your face. Nothing wrong with the track itself; I don't mind it, but it's a bit out-of-place, in my opinion...


As for the topic, this is a bit old, but I'll mention it anyblue:

Q: Is there a way to adjust the volume of the title screen BGM? It always seems to be either too loud or too soft, and never just right.

A: While both in-game and PlayOnline Viewer music volume can be adjusted in their respective configuration screens, there regrettably is no way to adjust volume for the title screen. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I don't know if they might have magickally discovered a way to change the volume now, which I'm not bothered by one bit, however, it would be nice to have the option to choose which track plays first!

Also, here's a few related things from the past:

• Music Volume
• ATTN[DEV] title screen music
• Audio Mute - Request
• [Suggestion] Updated Title Screen
• Intro Music

You can just mute your entire PC while logging in. There's also the Mixer option so you can mute only FF, then unmute once you're logged in. Honestly, I'd rather SE spent their time on something more productive than the music I'll hear for only a few seconds every day.

Try sending yourself a couple of mil from a few mules while streaming something from your PC to your TV at the same time.
Having to manually Mute the game or turn the volume down like 20 times in a row isn't the solution unless you only use the PC for gaming.

They can spare the 10 minutes this would take to code, i mean if they can waste time for a "Bank" Chest they can waste time for this, so we dont have to delete the dats every time they update the game.

considering I play with the game silenced most of the time so I can listen to my music I would love this (none of the themes over the years have blended all that well with Cream as an example). Of course, I used to substitute songs from my collection for the game sound files anyway, but that makes me get sick of hearing good songs too quickly, not to mention being too much like work.

Yeah I'd like an option to randomize with the older themes or to turn it off completely.

Agreed. After 11 years, why isn't this an option in the config program?

Works wonders, Most keyboards have a "Mute" options built right in you can press to turn on/off Mute. I know it can be a minor inconvenience to have to mute your game, all that darned finger movements are just inconsiderate on SE's part.

While I'm not against the option, I just don't think its as catastrophically disrupting as you guys make it seem.

If you actually read the post above yours, you'd have read that you can just turn down the volume for FFXI, so as to not interrupt your valuable PC > TV Streaming. If you always stream, watch TV or listen to music at the same time, just leave ffxi muted permanently. If not, just leave it muted until you finish sending all your gil to/from mules.
