Must See! Final Fantasy XIV in Symphonic Oddesey.

Best rendition I've ever heard apart from Nobuo Oematsu himself.

definitely makes the song much more magical.\ watching it

I just like the fact that we have someone like Nobuo Oematsu composing good music for the game, and orchestras performing that music in places around the world. Makes me feel somewhat dignified playing the game. Does WoW or any other MMO have their original music still performed by orchestras?

You know, I like Uematsu for his past works in FF games, but I honestly don't enjoy most the XIV soundtrack all that much. I mean don't get me wrong, he did an excellent job as usual and there are some outstanding tracks, but there is just too much metal in most of them and they just don't hold a candle to what Naoshi Mizuta did for FFXI.

I have every soundtrack available for FFXI, and I can listen to every track endlessly and never get bored with them. With XIV though, I wanna turn most of them off after about an hr. {well San'dOria does get grating afterawhile, but the ver for the past is excellent!}

I wish we had the option of replacing the in game music with these orchestral versions. I might leave the music on...

I liked FFXI too, but I disagree that FFXIV is worse. I personally like the FFXIV soundtrack more.

Sounds fantastic!

I also really enjoy the FFXIV soundtrack, I always leave music on, it's part of the experience for me.

I totally agree. Naoshi Mizuta needs to do some tracks for XIV.
Cause all of his are amazing beyond belief.
Sanctuary of Zi'Tah? yes please.

Please SE let us make all of our songs orchestral if we so choose :<

Nobuo also had a hand in a good number of songs for XI. Heavens tower was one of his songs, man I love that song.
