Plus +1 for the Music

If they'd let us edit the music for our client using their catalog, that could be pretty nice. It's sort of disrespectful to the composer, but it would be better than people trying to edit the data files themselves. Which, from what I understand, FFXIV's BGM is hard to replace with other game music and no one has figured out how to loop the songs properly.

I don't know what some people are smoking.. but the old music was so bland and boring. Oh, and that bomb event music... Yeah I turned that off after 5min~ lol

It's nice to change it every so often for events, but to change it forever? That's another matter entirely.

I agree with you, but I think these tracks are better. I think it's easier to feel a sense of attachment to a place when it has awesome music. These tracks are arguably some of the best in the game. I don't think they would need to be changed again if they stuck with these. Of course not everyone is going to agree with this, which is why I think we should try to get some idea of how many people would be for or against this idea.

Like User said, it's most likely cause you're used to the old music.

I picked Ul'dah as my city cause I really liked the music from a preview video I saw, and as much as I like both themes, for nostalgic/preference reasons I'd like the regular city music to not be gotten rid of entirely.

I personally can't appreciate music like this if I hear it all the time. I'm really happy with the normal city music and when an exciting event comes up the change in music really stands out.

I don't see what's wrong with that either. I would personally leave it on default, though.

But I guess SE is worried that people may be presented with a game which deviates too much from the one they want to present. I guess they feel like they know best.

Kind of do hope these tracks stay as well, Even if it starts to play on occasion. The Immortal flame ballad can make going to the bathroom feel like an epic adventure. Seriously i logged in this morning and the music got me pumped! Then I went and did the same crap I have been doing in town for over a year now. But with an epic soundtrack!

Well, the company themes should then serve as a method of attachment between you and your company.

If the company themes are used for BOTH company and city, then that is diluting the impact, I think.

Music is nice. I haven't been on in awhile, and Uldah's music is kicking. they should just keep it so. It feels like Bastok a bit.

Day/Night music for each area, a la Xenoblade.

Bam.
