For the love of the Twelve, remove the BLARING TRUMPET MUSIC just for aggroing.

Actually, I like this idea. They did it for mounts. And lost city is so much cooler because of the fact that it doesn't have battle music.

Needs more cowbell..

10/10, thanks for the laugh man. :')

It would be awesome if there was a feature to turn it off when out in the field, much like how we can turn off mount music.

I agree. I remember back when they added the "feature" of battle music starting for mage classes that never engaged monsters in XI and literally the forums BLEW UP. Battle music is nice the first few times you hear it, but it gets obnoxious after a while and one of the things I loved about partying in XI was I could jump on a mage job and listen to the beautiful soundtrack in places like Caedarva Mire, only occasionally interrupted by the bleating of Imps letting me know it was time to toss a silena into my rotation.

The battle music in low level dungeons is obnoxious, the aggroing sounds interrupting the soundtrack of the open world is obnoxious, and in general ANYTHING that stops my enjoyment of the soundtrack of the various zones is obnoxious. I'll even add the chocobo music to this - I ended up turning it off because instead of a short chocobo-theme song that I was expecting to fade back into the zone sound... it NEVER ENDS. Occasionally I will turn on the Coerul music because it is pleasant, but overall it's not worth the hassle.

There are a lot of things that need to be fixed about how the music plays. Or rather, is interrupted.

Haha, I absolutely agree and also feel there really should be a toggle for battle music. I've been switching the BGM on and off depending on what I'm doing, but I really enjoy the soundtrack especially in certain areas like Coerthas.

I just hate it when my favorite part of a song plays in the area I'm in..and then a frog decides to grab me with it's tongue..and the battle music starts.

Same here i find my self near little Ala Mhigo a lot and I love that soundtrack. The damn amajaal always interrupt the music because they see.

There is a way to disable choco riding music, so it couldn't possibly be too hard to adjust the way battle music works. Just like whats said earlier, make it where it only plays, when you claim a target.

Did someone say blaring trumpet music?

(Sorry, it was the only one I could find that didn't have someone talking over the video.)
