Tuliyollal Theme is an Odd Choice for the Setting

Its good music but for this place ? Why ? I would like to know what thoughts are behind this decision are.

The cover of Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing" does not fit with the zone. What does big band 50's jazz have to do with Tural?

What Emet Selch thinks about the music:

Clearly nobody here has played Tropico. Trust me, the theme fits perfectly, latin jazz is a thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZbTChx3Y1U

Yea...but the problem is that the day theme is not latin jazz.

I was stoked for some I dunno, flutes? Interesting gourd shaker percussion? Something more tropical sounding? Instead we have... the roaring 20's

Every time I hear that theme, I think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbS1LYRLRRo

Good tune, placing is offputting, not very immersive. It would be like hearing EDM in Kugane

I hate the music In Tuliyollal so much it's actually ruining my experience, I Can't focus on reading the quests, I have a constant frown on my face, but I am afraid to mute it, because some cutscenes have nice music i don't want to miss.

I agree, but I give them a pass on some of the city music. Some of it just won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Like San d'Oria- I really just did not like that at all. I shut that speaker off every time I zoned in. But The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah I used to AFK in just to fall asleep.

So, this city is XIV's San d'Oria for me. I have yet to find something equivalent to Zi'Tah here though. Closest so far was Iroha's theme, but that doesn't count since that's also XI's.

But this game has the best dungeon music - I never get tired of Rise or the seemingly endless variations on Unbreakable or A Long Fall - the folks churning those out are of a SINGULAR talent.

Jazz is a blend of music. Tuliyollal is a blend of cultures. Idk what ya'll are on about, it fits extremely well.
