The Firefall Faire music

I'm all for fun events during holidays etc in MMOs but one thing that's really been bugging me lately is the constant trumpets of the summer event music following me wherever I go.

It's gotten to the point where I just have my music turned off, and from talking with others, I'm not the only one tired and annyoed by this theme being played all over the world.

The last straw for me was when me and a friend went over to Coerthas for some SP grinding on the local mobs there.
Now instead of the hearing the beuatiful soundtrack of the zone my ears got assualted by the horrific event music and I promtly turned my music back off again.

I can only imagene new players just starting the game, getting blasted by this music everywhere, ruining alot of the atmosphere some zones offer, like entering said Coerthas for the very first time.
For me that was breathtaking seing the beauty of the land there accompained by a awesome soundtrack.

And maybe its just a matter of musical taste, but if compared to the summer festival music from FFXI, this track we got now is in my opinion, just awful.
In XI the festival music got me in a good mood and it felt special hearing it in the select areas it played, it was a good fitting track for the world, it wasnt constantly hammered into my brain totaly making me loose any sense of immersion and wanting to just log off...

Anyways enough rambling, and yes I know its only around 9 more days before this event ends, but I would like to not have this same thing happen during future in-game holidays.

Please restrict the event music to only the main cities and the in the immediate vicinity of the event NPCs.

Thank you for taking your time reading ^^

Party pooper.

I'm one of those people annoyed with it too. Especially when I realized I couldn't get away from it. Just came back recently after a short break. Went on a leve run and was shocked to hear the music still playing as I tele'd to Horizon. After that I walked to the dock, got on the boat to LL, and sure enough it's on there too. I couldn't escape it!!

I posted about something similar to this happening in coerthas around camp riversmeet. It stretches ALL over coerthas essentially and it's so annoying considering the music there is my favorite.

On/off switch for the festival music or only make it audible in cities.

That's my opinion =/.

Thank you. But in all seriousness, I disagree with the OP. It's not that bad.

Same here, I'm so tired of the "happy landing" trumpets I have my game music off till the festival is over.

A team of highly trained monkeys with typewriters are working on the solution as we speak!

They need to make this music come from an actual band that follows you around like the Nannygoats used to. Summer is almost over just hang in there.

Just to think the event is gonna last one more week, i wanna throw myself off a cliff.
That means that every day for like 5 hours im gonna have to listen to that damn track.

I mean, i do love it. But after two weeks of listening to it non stop, i just wanna shoot myself.

I'm even crafting just so I can hear another theme XD

lol @ the festival music.

I think the whole situation is just hilarious.

But yes, I'll be very glad to have the old music back. Still, enjoy it while it lasts. Or enjoy laughing about how annoying it is while it lasts, either/or. :P

I hate the festival music. I vote to only hear it in the vicinity of the festival npcs with a swimsuit equipped. I currently have background music turned off to escape the horrific elevator music.

It was okay for the first 5 minutes....

One week later and well, it's muted of course.

Yeah, I personally find the constant trumpeting pretty abrasive after a short while. I hope they compose a new theme for next year. Pretty much resigned to having music off for the duration of the event.

On or around the coat area.

I actually don't mind it when I do pay attention to it. In any case, I'm usually listening to my iPod as I play. :P

i was always told if you have noting nice to say don't say anyting at all, so i'm just gonna give the OP and thumbs up.

XD Oh jesus coffee just flew out of my mouth when reading that. You speak of crafting like it's the lowest possible thing a human being can stoop to. It's only funny because it's partly true.

I enjoyed the music at first when I came back a week ago... then when reality set in (translation: it was still trumpeting along 2 hours later) I muted the BGM. At least the annoying banjo music in FFXI's summer festival only came on during the fireworks animations (evening only) and was limited to the cities and the zones directly connected to the cities.

FFXIV's summer festival music had me contemplating assorted ways I could potentially torture the musician responsible for said travesty. What's worse is it almost sounds like something out of Samba de Amigo. Only thing missing is a Laifelel dressed up in a festive mariachi outfit and shaking a pair of maraca's in beat to the trumpet while following/being chased by a Bombard. <<shudder>>

Opinions. cool man.
I like this music.

I like it, and I think that now is too late to complain about it.
Summer's almost gone, resist a little more!

omg yes this was ok for like a week but now I'm so sick of it! XD Please stop the madness!!!

The music is nice and all but when it's constantly glitching... OMG, my ears start bleeding.

Especially in the Black Shroud when grinding, the fair music AND battle music plays at the same time. No... Just no...

It's goin to make the usual music sound so much better, though!

I vote for being able to pick our own BGMs for whatever area we are in.

The other day I was doing a class quest in Gridania, and when I zoned out of the cs, it was still playing the Gridania music, and then I ran all the way to Quarrymill with the Gridania music still playing. I realized I like the Grid BGM for running through the woods more than the new BGM or the old one (and definitely more than the Firefall Faire tune.)

Whenever I hear it, I just go "STFU NOBUO!!" and then mute everything and put on the FFXIII OST instead..
