Well they do already, but of course its not enough a simple enable battle music toggle should suffice.

FFX zanarkand theme during everything else xD
And during combat I will switch to FFX "challenge" theme

I mute Leviathan and Titan primal theme and any FATE boss theme, and plays Terra Battle "Lying in Wait" boss theme. XD

There's an option to disable BGM. Do that and play what you want.

Bumping this thread cause it's still an issue.
Was hoping they would have included this in Heavensward but they didn't.

+1 There needs to be more unique battle music, it gets really repetitive hearing the same music. Fates/Levequests/ Enemy outside dungeon/Certain Dungeons you hear the same BGM. Needs more unique music in the game for battling/fighting enemies.

*Want to sit on garden at Churning Mist while listen to the area's BGM*

*suddenly wild dragon comes to attack*

*begin Battle Music*

FFFUUUU I WANT TO LISTEN THIS WHOLE AREA'S MUSIC YOU DUMB CREATURE *kills the dragon brutally*

*back to listen the bgm grumpily*

Now I can't enjoy the music anymore :(

i usually turn off in-game music, and have a program running in the background to play various tracks from final fantasy mystic quest in place of it (not modified files, just a program that i have set up to play specific tracks when i press a certain combo of keys)

My playtime would be so much more enjoyable if I didn't have to listen to the same darn song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and...

I don't care if "other FF games" have particular battle music. This is the only FF game I've played and dang is that combat music annoying. It's not even very good. >_< And it ruins awesome tracks in dungeons and in the open world.

I like a lot of the background music, especially in dungeons but also in the open world. I severely dislike the combat music. This isn't really a solution.

We already got this option for mount music, shouldn't be that hard to let us mute battle music too. :)
It would be a nice start but yeah, some ingame music player that would let you pick songs would be much much better.

I'd love to be able to substitute or add some FFXI music.

I rather just have Zenith playing everywhere I go lol. As for music, I really have no issues. I doubt SE will give us the ability to swap music from any content to our own or other music within the game. I can see them adding a J.box where we can listen to almost any track.

Also I remember SE already saying they are looking into this matter.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET US TURN IT OFF!

I really hate the combat music, it's horrible. It sounds more whimsical than serious, plus I just hate combat music. I wonder what's the reasoning for not having that option.

Same. Master volume works better but I kind of rely on the crunch the rod makes when I'm fishing, It's also the reason music volume is off as well as combat sounds. (random player runs by and kills a mob, my headphones 'splode)

Jeez.. some of you people really ask for way too much customization.

Go onto youtube, look up the FFXIV music you like and then have it play in the background. A solution that doesn't have to make SE do a little extra work.

just mute the bgm for that part then?

but ya it would be nice to have an option like that

Signed, the music in the Library dungeon is awesome but the thought of that switch from relaxing to hyper battle music makes me run the game without the BGM on.

>_> I don't want to have to go manually hunting down the right track every time I go to a new zone or dungeon. That's absurd. SE's job is to "do a little extra work".

Field music, alrighty, but dungeon music... that's something I'm curious about. Every dungeon from 2.1-3.0 lack a battle theme for trash mobs, whereas bosses 'interrupt' the music for their own theme, which I feel is fine (you're fighting something that's 'tough'), as that music will most likely loop before each boss encounter. All dungeons in ARR (CM and Prae excluded) play music for a bit and then it's silence.

This is a much needed change. Kind of surprised its taken this long to get addressed.

The only time that actually happens is when you reach the final boss. And the final boss theme is pretty awesome. :I

I think they should revamp the battle musics in this game. make all of them an aggressive mix version of the theme of the map, like how it works in CT/ST/WoD, and Coil.

Exception is FFT. Really good battle music in that one. Even then, though, I wound up muting at various times. . .

chrono cross/trigger music, best of all ;)

Ah, I remember when 13-2 introduced something like that and they added it to XIV. Sometimes I would prefer the Aggressive mixes than the actual song.

yes , please FFXI battle music were awesome

Signed.

Would love the option to disable altogether and to toggle between other battle themes!

Remix the music for each City Region like FATEs, Battling, Levequests etc and Dungeons too.

Holy thread necro.

The reason I am all for this?
