Please let us disable battle music

I love the games music, best Ive heard in an MMO.

However, battle music is great, but having it blast epic music every 10 seconds when questing and killing stuff does get old. This is when it would be nice just to have the normal map music playing the whole time.

I agree about it being annoying, especially when I try to listen to the music in the Black Shroud. I just go into settings, turn off all background music and listen to my own :)

or atleast make it like Haukke Manor or Copperbell mines HM :D

It never ceases to amaze me that RPGs have so few battle themes, since you invariably spend a good portion of the game battling.

{Yes Please}

kinda agree with u, pharos music is awesome but .....u cant never heard more than 10s :(

FFXI battle themes were awesome never ever got bored of it in all my years playing

FFXIV 1.0 had some rock battle themes that i loved sadly werent implemented in 2.0

Please, please make this an option! I love the FFXIV background music. But the battle theme is just getting so old at this point. We can disable chocobo music, why not the battle theme as well?

This was a popular thread a few months ago. Glad to see this request resurfaced again. Battle music can get annoying after so long and some of the places in Eorzea have such beautiful music! I am glad we can turn off mount music, lets do battle music next!

"Jyoeru, why aren't you moving? We need to kill those things."

"This my jam, fool."

Not always true, it's just MMOs tend to go the minimum route especially the more generic ones. 1.0 had tons of battle themes, XI has a ton of battle theme, XIV's is the same battle theme with different instrumentation.

This is something I've wanted from the start.
Both the standard battle music and the FATE music need to be togglable.

Though there are other reasons, the constant bombardment of the battle music is one reason I don't find most of the dungeons very engaging. :-/
I've just disabled the music entirely because its so grating.

I fully support this request, I do like the battle music but after hearing it 5625968237603489709487 times it would be nice to switch it off. Unlike most I'm not too bothered about it in dungeons it's when I'm just farming in the open world that it drives me nuts. Constant quick fights where the music changes every 10-20 seconds reduces an otherwise beauftiful sound track to mute in my experience. It's a shame.

It does get old fast.

+1000 !
Please let us disable the battle music, just like the chocobo music !

I have searched amoung the files, all data is stored in big .dat files, so we can't modify the combat music file... this would not be so simple !

OR Better solution : Have a BIG pool of battle music, and play it randomly at each fight !
