Good day fellow community members! :) I recently kicked back and enjoyed the latest game play video, which showcased the outstanding battle system, quest system, and battle animations.
I couldn't help but be dragged into the action, by the new battle score that rang heroically, over the combat. It was then I got to thinking...what ever happened to the classic baseline that was used as the template, for the battle themes in Final Fantasy 1 through 6, as well in Final Fantasy 9?
You know the one... dunna dunna dunna dunna -- dunna dunna dunna dunna! (No this is not the Jaws Theme~)
I do realize that the score for the commercial release of the game, very well may be set in stone, though I can't help but feel how much Final Fantasy 14, could benefit form this subtle, but extremely iconic addition to the OST of the game. Nobuo Uematsu, would you consider doing a rendition of a battle theme in one of the areas that utilizes this baseline once again? I would be eternally grateful.
I know I'm just one person, but I just wanted to express my desire to hear this once again. With the way music has evolved in the series to date, performing this now, could be a really nice return home! :D
Below are a few links to the baseline, in question.

Thank you all for your time in entertaining my suggestion.

I included some links to videos on YouTube, to help those that don't get what I am trying to convey. For those that are also unknowing all together. The links are under the main post. The baseline can be heard withing the first 10 seconds of each song. I hope this helps out a little bit.

While I don't want to bring your idea down :p I remember one thing I've heard somewhere not long ago:
"Nowadays players think that if you just slap some bass on the song it makes it 'epic'" :p -

It isn't base in its literal sense. I suppose I'm not doing a very good job of getting across what I am referring to very well. My title on the thread may be the main problem. Got people listening out for bass.
I suppose its more of a cadence or rhythm section. My music terminology isn't the best to get this over clearly, which is why I included to links to the videos. -

Square, you rock, I will support you until the end (and I hope to work with you guys someday I am brave enough to send a CV).
I get you and I agree 100%Quote:

I think if the must is more orchestrated, it is more immersive. That's how I see it. Not everyone likes "bass." A lot of people, like me, think it's nothing but noise that's trying to be a melody.
