To me FFXIV greatly overshadows XI.

wow fast rply and sucha long list in that time ._.;

FFXIV is way better than FFXI although I like FFXI also.

I honestly like FFXIV's music a lot more than ffxi. but -some- tracks in XI were awesome, like sanctuary of zi'tah

they aren't bad

you just don't like them

Yep, I made that list awhile ago, so copypasta!

Well even the best things get boring with repeated exposure.

I dont really like the battle music in FFXIV, but the soundtrack in general is really good, if you ask me.

I hear no real difference between the 2. And I like both :)

I only like 1 XIV song, the rest sux imo. but thats my taste, for example I love the ff13 ost lol idk if many others do.

agreed 100% with this, the music does not make you feel engaged at all imo. Many people like XIV's soundtrack guess i'm just not feeling it besides the exception of a few tracks

don't get me wrong alot of these songs in itself are pretty good. they would be a decent soundtrack to just randomize, but to listen to on repeat is worse than farming puk wings. i just feel as though a single song for hours in the same location is just extreme. no matter how good the song is i cannot listen to any song on repeat 500 times in a row. if we had multiple songs per zone instead of the same song repeating i don't think i'd have as much a problem with it.

as i am now i just have a lil url streaming program i made a few years ago and just select the type of music i want to listen to and play that. it's not like i am going to miss any important voice overs to let me know something is going on.

I liked the FFXIII ost myself, but some people can't get used to Masashi Hamauzu's ambient tracks and his relatively heavy use of piano in his compositions. But he produced one VERY unique final boss music....which I love to bits. Though I must say, the victory theme in FFXIII is so...pathetic. And some rather really ambient pieces were...plain and boring.

FFXIV ost is marvellous IMO, though probably because I accept a huge range of music styles. I personally like how the battle themes have returned to Uematsu's rock roots, though I say that some pieces are overly bombastic. Coerthas, however....simply stunning and serene. La Noscea is not far from being a favourite as well.

The music of 11 will be forever etched in my memory; however I think 14 has awesome music and in my mind they are the same with maybe 14 a little better. The music is the Black Shroud is enchanting.

im sorry guys, but you're way off. XIV does not compare to XI....not even close IMO. The songs in every zone perfectly matched the mood you felt in them. Not only that, it also felt as if those songs had meaning, (i hope im not talking out of my ass here) like they were telling you a story of that zone. You cant help listening to gustaberg and thinking what happened in gustaberg, and why is that place a barren wasteland. You can feel the sadness that the ppl there carry with them......thanks to that song lol

I'm really struggling to understand posts like these. Do you just not have good musical taste? No, I think your taste is probably good but there are certain tracks you don't like. I'd like it if you two listed the music in 14 you dislike.

Mimmo, your taste and mine are different. You cannot call us way off because we accept other music you don't, and vice-versa. Tell me, then, how does Rolanberry Fields theme work in the area? Slow and dull? I don't think so, but that's what the music says to me.And the Sauromugue Champaign? Even worse, repetitive, weird instruments and tones and an awful beat that goes with it. And does Chateau Doraguille really fit with the castle it's meant to be part of? I would expect a very grand, army-based mansion rising off a cliff, not what a royal and proud family will be running. And Regeneracy is nothing but arpeggios leaping around for a minute with bell chimes and a low bass motif running through.

Of course, FFXI has its gems; Ronfaure, Sanctuary of Zi'tah, Memoro de la Stona, Gustaberg, Selbina etc. but you can't base a soundtrack off its gems and not some garbage it displays. I loathe Sauromugue Champaign with a passion. We all have different opinions, and calling us 'off' for having a different one, especially about a topic as subjective about music, is short of rudeness. Sorry to be blunt, but please, spare a thought when you start degrading other people's opinions with comments such as that.

If you can, tell us what tracks you dislike from FFXIV. Put them here, so we can bleed our ears out if we have to.

EDIT: Neptune! Get in while I'm typing this, why don't you. :) Still love you though. /em hugs Neptune Deepsea.

Well it's all about taste aint it? Think both games have good music and manages to set the mood.
Take care!

The quality of the music is the same both are really great, the difference to me is that in XIV there are 5 zones and 3 cities. I know the zone are huge compared to XI but why not add more music a biggere range so there there is more variation it would be nice to have the music change while i run from LL to bloodshore to ironlake to skull valley then back to LL. Thats like having the same music from sandy all the way to bastok but in that case (east ron, la thane, the dunes, konsorat, gustaburg) but each zone had its own unique sound.

Simple fix to get it on par with XI just add more.

why do people in these forums take everything personally and so seriously. Maybe cause it was aimed personally lol....but guys just chill. I mean no harm. Of course everyone has their own taste in music and stuff. Im not giving facts, just opinions. Sorry if i offended anyone.

There are few songs that i "really" like in XIV. In gridania and outside of Ul'dah are both great songs. Theyre songs that leave me (just talking bout myself, not others) with emotional memories. I personally dont judge songs with what i hear, but with what i feel from listening to them. I get more of that feel in XI than i do in XIV thats all.

Im not going to mention what songs i dislike simply because all the songs are fantastic. Theyre just so beautifully orchestrated .

Huh?!?!

Go ahead and list them. List them and then put an equal number of FFXI tracks that you like. Just so I can see where you're coming from.

But i just mentioned that i dont "dislike" any of them....in both games. Theyre all great, its just that with some songs i connect more emotionally than others. Although u did just give me a great idea. How about we put songs up against each other and we can vote and debate which one is better.
For example: Gridania vs Windurst

Then again, this might be a stupid idea and off topic

good job there neptune, why not post the entire sentence. Are you always this big of a douche. what i said is that i wont mention any songs that i dislike (like you wanted me to) because theyre all fantastic. I cant say i dislike any from XI or XIV.

I like the songs for both games, but the music for thanalan field music is my fav by far.

Also like the faction leve boss music too just epic.....

Only good can come out of threads like this.

PS XI soundtrack blows XIV's out of the water. It isn't even a comparison.

LOL

IMO FFXI had some excellent music but FFXIV is on a whole other level. It is quite good with the exception of The Black Shroud which is pretty boring. It makes running 10 minutes between camps seem even longer in that zone.
