I admit, this made me chuckle a little when I read this :P

If you're going to take a "small break" then just log off. I get that you want to avoid a queue when you come back, but if you're getting afk kicked frequently enough for the login music to be an issue, maybe you really should just log off for those breaks because either way you're ending up back in a queue.

Sure, he can work around it - OR SE stops increasing the sound of their horrible intro video I don't care about ? How about an OPTION to disable it?

No! I say make it ever louder! Squeenix didn't increase it enough, I want to hear "HOME, RIDING HOME" from across the planet!

"HOOOOO, LALI-HOOOOO!"

I admit it's funny they increased the volume.

Can always go to your Taskbar on the bottom right of your pc and mute the game until you return. Or check the option to turn off game sounds when alt tabbed out. (I use the latter).

If you're on console just mute your TV? I dunno this just seems an odd problem with very obvious solutions.

But I would appreciate if the logging cinematic music would stop blasting my speaker every time i get booted.

Like, i take a small break to do a few chores and then I hear a big thundering sound coming from computer room that is easily heard from all across the house. Its particularly annoying if I am unable to turn it off at that moment. (In bath, toilet, etc)

Make an option to turn off the intro music from the system options?

you can avoid the auto kick by opening the HUD Layout
