So I've just watched the demonstration of the new spell casting behavior and while what was on video wasn't all that interesting. I noticed that the Nail of the Heavens BGM was altered greatly, as if it was a midi version of the song. Which have me thinking about the reasoning behind this.
Will the PS3 version of FF14 have downgraded audio like FF12 did?
Not likely sure due to it being on blu-ray but you never know.
I just find this very strange.:confused:

I just want to correct your terminology, it's not MIDI, but General MIDI. MIDI is a way to transfer data between instruments, sequencers etc. General MIDI is a standard by which manufacturers of soundcards and music hardware use to assign voices to patch numbers, and is why a GM song that is supposed to sound like a piano sounds like a piano and not an electric guitar.

You are correct, but I know many industry professionals (Including Russell Elevado, Dave Pensado, Khaliq Glover and myself) all say MIDI... It is referred to both ways...Quote:

As far as the difference between the tracks... they do sound different
mainly due to different post processing applied to each
Also in-game music is mixed and/or mastered differently than OST versions
The OST is mixed more like what we are used to on the radio whereas the in game version is mixed to be played along with the games sound FX
For this particular example... the OST version was compressed more to raise the overall volume while the in game version has more dynamic range
The same thing happened with Guitar Hero: Metallica and the Death magnetic CD -
