Bring back the 1.0 OST :<

There are a select few tracks from 1.0 I wish were around more in 2.0, Twilight over Thanalan for one.

That being said, as much as I enjoy Uematsu's work, I just wasn't feeling it on the original soundtrack. Soken has done an amazing job.

The last one I would like to see in the New it just songs really good.

Personally, I have many memories tied to the old OST and the pre-Calamity world. I think hearing the same music on new maps would just feel weird to me, and the new soundtrack is good as well. I'd just want the music to play more often, but they already stated they won't do it.

Heh, I liked how the old dungeon music would play all the time and change it's instruments to a more upbeat one when you enter battle, fading back seamlessly into the more quiet one once enemies were dead. That's something I miss, but then, it was always the same music no matter the dungeon which was boring. If they made an alternative theme for each dungeon that doesn't only play during the opening sequence, that would be great.

While there were a lot of great songs in the 1.0 soundtrack (especially the town themes), that doesn't mean the entire soundtrack was good.

Remember hearing the first 5 seconds of this song every time you entered combat in a leve?

It was awful.

I think that they should allow people to select which tracks in game are from which soundtrack. Or maybe make that a bonus for buying the Before Meteor soundtrack. I know I'd buy the OST if that was a bonus that came with it.

I like a lot of the new music, and I love a lot of 1.0's soundtrack. I wish they'd make more use of it, and mix in 1.0 tracks occasionally. I noticed there is a lot of 'dead air' between tracks in a lot of zones. Perfect opportunity to throw in one of the 1.0 songs.

Also, is it just me, or are all monsters (besides the bird wing flapping sound) insanely quiet? They hardly make any ambient noise at all. I'm actually distracted by the lack of natural sound coming from the environment at times.

ARR's music is better than 1.0's, I'm sorry to say. That battle music you linked? Yuck, seriously.

It doesn't need to be brought back. Nearly the entire original soundtrack is still part of the game. Only some of the zone music is not (some of it is, but is repurposed)

Ignore this post, it's the worst opinion in existence. Anyone who dislikes any of the leve or normal battle music of 1.0 is a heretic.

Seriously, I would vastly prefer if we got 1.0's battle music instead of the same song but different instruments music that we have now. I miss 1.0's music.

The last one is the only one that you posted that I care for, to be frank. :x

Would really like an option to loop the music, kinda crappy running dungeons with no music :(
