Roughly 2 seconds, all you have to do is change the file name of the music in the coding.

and /signed.

My bf and I were both really anticipating the Magitek mount coming with Terra's Theme as its music. We're racing to finish the story because we are so excited about this mount (and having Terra's Theme while riding) so I googled to check, and found this thread. We were both terribly disappointed to find that's not the case.

I know this has been responded to by SE already, and that it's been up for a year and a half, but I really hope SE reconsiders their decision.

FF6 is by far my favorite Final Fantasy -- I've got a Terra tattoo for crying out loud. Terra's theme would be a really wonderful touch to what's already a fantastic throwback, and as others have mentioned, it doesn't seem off base to include, nor does it seem difficult.

Please reconsider changing the Magitek armor music in an upcoming patch!! I doubt many players even comment in the forums, but many, many players have gone out of their way to reply to this post. The players would clearly appreciate it.

I would prefer them to create a different music for each mount, personally, not just the Magitek mount. The current music probably works best with the courle mount. Would love to see some more variety and musical themes that actually fit the mount better. I do admit that sometimes I just get on the mount to listen to the music lol but it would be even cooler if we had more choices to listen to :D

The best part of this:

Is just how many EXACT SAME SONGS (and a handful of remixes) they copy pasted from previous Final Fantasies for their "FFXIV-specific" version of them:

Labyrinth of the Ancients
Syrcus Tower
World of Darkness
Battle on the Big Bridge
Battle in the Big Keep
The Dragon's Neck
Lightning event FATEs
The Gold Saucer
Chocobo Racing
Triple Triad

The kicker of course being that they already made the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8RuIXX4ntc

Maybe they can reconsider ;)

Actually apparently the real reason is they couldn't secure the rights to that particular song when they wanted it.
In fact, BECAUSE they already made the song, they screwed themselves out of being able to use it because they didn't get permission first, since Uematsu wrote it and doesn't work directly for SE anymore.
At least that's what I hear, and that's the thing that makes the most sense.
In other words it's a bunch of copyright BS that you'd need a lawyer to properly express.

I totally support this!!

Signed, I was disappointed when I got my armour and the song didn't play... The remix they made sounds so sweet too.

Floating Continent = FF6... song probably plays there I'm guessing.

{music} {Yes, please.}
