You even get an orchestrion with the vocal version of the song from gemstone trader in Ultima Thule. It is the intended BGM for the zone.

I like the vocal track. But I agree that it should return to the original music. I hope after the devs are done doing their victory laps they make the zone feel a little more normal.

I don't mind the vocals that much.

What I do wish is that they'd expand the vocal styles present in these songs with lyrics. Currently we have Disney princess, Disney princess, Disney prince, and Disney princess. Soprano vocals with heavy vibrato are nice - sometimes and infrequently. Every vocal performance sounds like The Frozen Little Snow White Mermaid.

This is a nice solution.

Good evening.

I adore that song, but I've to admit that hearing it in loop, as an adventurer who does a lot of gathering to relax, after a few minutes it becomes too much and I need to lower the sound volume.

The original music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QEZVSn22H0) was simply perfect: it gave me the feeling to be in outer space, kind of eerie, and also reminded me of some movie I couldn't recall (Blade Runner or Drive's soundtrack possibly...?).

I think I requested it in the past as well, to have this option to change the background music for the city-states (since I wanted to resume Navigator's Glory in my day Limsa), but it never happened.
It's worth to try again. It would be Great if maybe one of the Omicrons at the camp could give us the choice to return to the original music.


(As a side note, this also happened to the first Radz-at-Han music, which for me was perfect to relax while crafting. Anyway, I overall consider the soundtrack of Endwalker to be Soken's Masterpiece. /clap to the Master! :D)

As with the workaround solution for reverting Ultima's music, you can revert Radz-at-Han to the original music by activating New Game Plus.

Tbh I don't mind the vocals that much, although I do understand people preferring the instrumental. However, I do hope they fix the sound in the msq during labyrinthos part 2.... The map music itself isn't bad, but the ""action"" music was turning me crazy.

I really liked the instrumentals, even vocal when at the final phase of Ultima Thule story progression.

But when I realized the vocal version is the permanent BGM, I started hating that voice.

Nah the vocal should stay, the muffled and the instrument are really lacking for me...

I agree, I do NOT like the singing at all, the melody sounds so forced, and his voice... ugh.

If you do that wouldn't it maybe revert it back to the horrible distorted version when we first arrive though? You'd have to complete some steps to get it to the nice instrumental one because that one was phase 2 of the track's evolution I believe.

But...how would you know when it's day/night there?

Because during day time the band theme would sound and during night time the instrumental version.

Very much supporting this, at least an option to switch to "stage 2" version of this song would be amazing.

Same as many, I feel the vocal version was fantastic for the Endwalker finish line, but is simply way too repetitive for a zone track due to the vocals.

With that title I was hoping to find a discussion about Endwalker's music at large, which I very much love, and instead it's yet another thread about that one song in the final area...

i though the vocal edition was supposed to be the background for dramatic "certain someone sacrifice" because the vocal START when that individual gone and even give you rainbow walk even together with other 2 npc complete with mark area to talk about, like that moment literally ask you to "walk" instead of run to enjoy the atmosphere.

then after i finish the EW and go back to the zone, i realized that now the song is stuck on the vocal edition.

to be frank, i dont mind at all probably because its not a "loud" song, its chill and comfy. iam also okay with the version without vocal and i can see why someone prefer it that way, vocal song background usually only used for certain moment so it is kinda weird for the whole thing to just stuck back in vocal.

i agree with putting an option to change the song to either vocal or non vocal, or maybe just non vocal while the vocal edition can be heard through orchestra scroll.

All the people jumping in and saying no because they like the track seem to be conveniently ignoring the part where he wasn't asking for it to be removed, only to have the OPTION.

I also support an optional "Phase 1" theme and "Phase 2" theme for Ultima Thule! Everybody wins! (´･ω･`)

Please patch an option in to change the music back to the original.
I can't stand this singing, doesn't fit to the map and is highly annoying after hours of listening.
