Magitek Mount Music

Ever since we got the teaser for the Magitek mounts that had the old school FF6 theme music in it:

I have been waiting for SE to implement it into the game as the actual Magitek mount music. Why have we not seen this done yet? It seems like such a simple thing to do...

There was a huge thread about this for a good while with a lot of people behind it, and we still heard nothing. So I would expect nothing will be changed.

I honestly could care less about it myself.

Here it is:

At first it was like

We let the mount lead know that there were so many requests for this and he mentioned that they would look into whether or not they can get this implemented. :)

(P.S.: I'd like to see this happen too! :p)

Then it was like

And then we were like:

Don't even recall them replying to it, good of you to find the thread though. So yeah, thats that lol...

I understand that there are some people who don't care about something a small as this, but after watching the video of the release teaser for this mount, a lot of us who played FF6 in old days, were struck with nostalgia. Hence the desire for this music.

I don't think the fact that since this is FF14, not FF6, we will not use the music, is a valid reason. I mean, for crying out loud, they have reused just about everything else in the FF series in this game already, what does one song hurt?

I agree. FF6 was one of my favorites. I was expecting this to play when I acquired the mount --- This was when I first saw someone else driving it though. If they can port over the Battle theme for Ultros's fight, they should be able to port in this theme too. -_-

No offense to anyone, but that SE reply is a complete bullshit. We have "FFXIV exclusive content" playing FF2 battle theme, we have Gilgamesh, Hildebrand, Ultros and Typhoon.

Better come up with a better excuse, SE.

That was the repeated counter-argument in that thread but they didn't reply back. So pretty much I gave up.

Yep. I guess "no" wasn't a good enough answer so they felt they had to throw some kind of wordy answer in there even if it didn't make much sense.

And how is the FF6 boss battle theme in the Dragon's Neck not exclusive, SE?

Just thought of something amid my morning routine but

They did say that another hero was gonna visit soon to Eorzea for vanity stuff like Lightning, so maybe it'll be Terra with a VI magitek mount? Hell it could be Biggs and Wedge who were sent to supposedly oblivion by Valigarmanda. Maybe I'm still tired but could be a chance if there is a hint of truth to that post.

Apparently there was some issue with the rights to the song because Nobuo Uematsu is no longer attached to the project. I'm not sure how true this is, especially since another song from the same game makes an appearance in 2.4, but copyright is a very tricky thing in general so who knows. There's a reason there have to be lawyers who specifically specialize in copyright law.
It would also explain the lack of transparency since the CMs legally can't comment on something involving lawyers and contracts (or if they can, it's better that they don't)

I saw this thread and went looking for that exact message! thanks for saving me the time ^.^/

I would use that mount more often if they added that song to it.

Because Ultros and Typhon are both FFVI bosses. Same exact characters.

Their argument is that this is supposed to be a totally different Magitek armor, which is...kind of weak because it's so blatant where the armor design comes from, and they already went through the trouble of making a remix tune for that one trailer.

I don't think anyone would complain that this ruins the unique qualities of Eorzea if they threw it in, especially since the Crystal Tower is directly lifted from FFIII designs, and they didn't hold back from including music from FFIII for that while still trying to make it appear totally different lore-wise from FFIII's version. You don't see a ton of people complaining that this ruins the atmosphere.

Literally no good reason not to have this in the game already.
