New Music!!

New music in the shroud makes running through the zone so much better.

Me too! I'm sad that the La Noscea starting area music changed. It was one of my favorite tracks. :(

It's around the Iron Lake area.

Indeed! I love it! It sort of feels like a cross between FFXI's Ronfaure and Sanctuary of Zi'tah themes, but more reverent. It helps reinforce that for the Gridanians, this is the Twelveswood.

Twilight over Thanalan still plays in the r1 to r20 areas. Mistbeard Cove's theme (the "new" Thanalan music) plays in Halitali and other high rank areas I believe.

The Black Shroud's new theme fades back to the original in the r30+ areas (I think, such as on the way to Sorrel Haven), same with La Noscea's new theme. Nanawa Mines and other old indoor areas don't seem to have new themes. Haven't checked Copperbell and Tam-Tara

I haven't had the chance to check out the new music, but has there been any confirmation as to who the composer for them is? I'm really hoping they stuck with Uematsu :)

I wouldn't be surprised if they had other composers working on FFXIV now. Even FFXI had multiple people.

The new BGM for the Hall of Flames (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IW2qCWA04Q) doesn't really sound like something composed by Uematsu. Like the lone comment on the video states, it really does sound like something right out of Final Fantasy Tactics.

To be honest when i first logged in i didn't even know the music had been changed. The dungeon music was great but after doing the dungeon 20+ times i just had to turn my sound off. Give me a playlist SE, until then its back to listening to Joe Satriani on the ipod.

to everyone that liked the old tracks, they still get used in specific areas in their regions so they arent lost^~^.
i like some of the new tracks alot thou, its pretty neat that they accentuate areas with different music now
