Place this one as far down on the priority list as possible, because frankly it's not a big issue and there are a lot of other things currently being worked on that I'm very excited about.
But one thing I haven't heard much discussion on is the lack of diversity in the game's music. I have long ago turned off the music option due to there being only a handful of background songs, all of which just play on repeat all day long. Why is this? The game's music is amazing, but it loses its impact after hours of repetition. I can no longer stand it.
Unfortunately, by turning the music off I also lose out on hearing the ad hoc songs like the victory tone upon completing a leve and the chocobo-riding song.
Could I please request that a more diverse score be integrated into the game, one that is powerful due to its presence in certain areas or contexts rather than as a constant background filler noise?
The only good thing to come from me removing all background music is that I have developed an immense appreciation of the ambient sounds I had never noticed before. These are truly masterfully done and I recommend to everyone to play at least a couple of hours with no music to hear them.
One final thought: how awesome would it be to have One Winged Angel playing during boss fights? So awesome, that's how awesome.
New music, please.

The soundtrack doesn't need to be redone. It just needs to be developed on further. Add more verses to these songs, so they at least last for 5 minutes with some variation! I had this discussion earlier in another topic.
And I laughed and laughed and laughed when it happened too.Quote:

Uldah's music is horrible. Horrible.
I don't ever recall having a problem with the music in XI. That Ronfaure music gets me going. I put it on replay when I'm leveling in Limsa.
So friggin epic.

Music plays a MAJOR role when playing a final fantasy game just as much as scenery imo.
From epic boss fights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_AhK...eature=related
To little towns like Mhaura http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJaFB...eature=related

Yeah, I too wish I could open YouTube while playing, but for some reason the game thinks it is appropriate to crash when I alt-tab out of full screen mode. One day things will be perfect. One day.
