.....?????????? Please remove the Dravanian bagpipe music from Azys Lla.

I might be in the minority, but I absolutely hate the bagpipes. The rest of the music track is great, but that bagpipe intro is just grating. I normally keep the volume loud in general, so that shrill music is just all the more jarring. It feels totally out of place anywhere they use it. It doesn't match with any of the other great music in HW. I've actually turned off the bgm entirely because it's such a pain to toggle it every time I zone into Idllyshire.

It sounds like silly marching music, which is definitely not the feel sanctuary music should have.

Agree, the bagpipe music is epic, but it has no place in Azys La.

It's a little-known fact that haggis is actually an engineered organism created by the Allagans.

Open your mind, don't keep it so narrow.

Yowza! How'd you know my life history of sci-fi experience?

In any case, I'll redirect to this post for part of my rebuttal:

Then, you have the clash with the music when you step away from the aetheryte, so it's obviously you're not supposed to have a Scottish/Gaelic atmosphere in this area at all. They were just being lazy and reusing Sanctuary music.

I don't think you will like More Drama 3.0 then (Illdramashire)

I do have to say, I have to give bagpipes or bagpipe-soundalikes a shoutout for one of the most epic town songs in FF history:

And possibly the best dungeon song in the series as a whole:

And the killer bagpipe solo from this vocal FF song, starting about 2:10 in (you have to listen up to that point for full effect):

I like it more than Mor Dor

Bagpipes have no place in sci-fi?

I beg to differ.

No, I like bagpipes.

I personally don't really like the bagpipes music either.. My mind just perceives beautiful mountains with peaceful and serene music and not the current music. That's just my opinion though, but yeah, it doesn't really fit well with the theme for Azys La.
