Grand Company Themes in Cities= More Livelier ( Petition)

Noticed the same thing, Uldah's current music fits the place so much better, it's still a tad bit too "marchy" but it's way better than the earlier one. One of the things that I dislike in a game is when they put music in areas that don't even match with the theme of the place.

I dunno, sounds more like an army or mercenary force HQ. Standard Ul'dah theme had a more middle eastern flair, which fit the city. Hall of flames theme sounds great, but doesnt really fit every day life in a middle eastern themed city.

Al'zahbi and Aht'uhrgan from XI got it right...Diablo II's Lut Gohlein and Romancing SaGa's Kjaraht were pretty cool too.

Kinda sad that a game that was published over 10 years ago, has better musics than a game of 2011 even when composed by the famous Nobuo Uematsu. I just had to take up on that one and listen to DII musics again.. such golden tunes :)

I agree on a serious and less Aladdin note music that was kind of like THIS or something like THIS

Sitars and Sultans why is there no real Arabic influence in the music? Instead I feel like I am shopping in my local grocery store or I'm sitting in a pharmaceutical waiting on my prescription. While the Company music is better between the two I don't think it really fits as the town's theme, while Gridania's on the other hand fits pretty well imo.

Yeah i'm hoping Diablo III pulls off an awesome soundtrack...even with the lack of the lead composer for I and II. On the subject of Uematsu, there are some definite misses in the XIV track (nothing too bad though), but when he knocks it out of the park (dungeon boss theme, Coerthas, Grand Company themes, instanced dungeon theme 1...a personal favorite now that i've given it time), he really hits hard.

Uematsu just needs to sit down smoke a bowl while puffing on some hookah and make some awesome middle eastern music for the desert. ^^y

I wonder if there are any good examples of Uematsu desert/ middle eastern themed music? Only one that kinda fits is the Veldt from VI.

Which actually would work for a true desert area (Thanalan doesnt really fit...more like arid plains or something). Needs to eventually have an areas with lots of sand dunes, sand storms, and maybe a pyramid/tomb style dungeon with some undead, chimera, manticore, and Lamia. Kinda getting off topic :p

Maybe they should have a really tacky linkpearl radio station we can listen to when we get bored.

Depending on whether or not it's still Uematsu working on FFXIV...

That style of music sounds fitting.

Oh yeah, no problems with the stronghold themes whatsoever.

On that note, i'm hoping Ishgard has a...Cyan's theme feel to it.

Serious but sort of somber.
