Battle Music: Option to turn it off

Please for the love of dog fluff I want to hear the lovely area music not DUN DUN DA DUN constantly. Please YoshiP, let us turn that shit off. :(

They do this in the newer dungeons.

Ya, it gets old after awhile.

Ever since release this is the feature I want most. Yes I like to listen to my own music too but its 50/50.

A toggle, just like for Chocobo music. That's all it has to be.

You know you also have the option to just mute the background music in the game, all of it.
I do that frequently when listening to my own music (like right now). I leave sound effects on and ambient sounds too since I like/use them.

I suppose they mean they'd like to keep the area's background music while they fight. I like Coerthas' area music, but dread Coerthas' battle music. I wish I could fight with the former.

Doesn't help those of us who would like to leave the zone music on.

Oh, like not in dungeons...
Yeah, that'd be nice.

Yup, been waiting for a feature like that for ages.

Interesting idea. I support this.

Look how much better Pharos Sirius became when they removed the battle music from there.

Agree with this for sure, I really like keeping the BG music on most of the time personally.

there is an tab for that u go to sys settings and turn bgm dwn it is under sound settings /doh i forgot

The OP is asking for the option to turn only battle music off. She/he wants to keep the zone music on. It's only two pages, you could've read...

As much as I'm usually in favor for this. It feels a bit wasted in this game(for now, unless things change with heavensward). Most zones don't even loop the music, unless you move from one location on the map to the other.

Well... coming from 1.0, I have to admit that the ARR battle bgm are kinda... boring. ^^;

I rather have the 1.0 battle BGM making a return. They have way much diversity and frankly, I never got bored hearing them, especially since those BGM comes from the FF maestro composer, Nobuo-san himself. ^^

If you ever heard of Limsa's battle bgm back then, then that's the best battle bgm I can think of. ^^

The only battle music I'd really like to turn off... FOREVER is the annoying reused coil boss music and the coil trash music can be annyoing as well.

yeah -.- is the reason i turn music off , cant stand this song again :(

ffxiv 1.0 battle themes <yes, please>! , i never got tired of hearing battle theme in FFXI (well after 2h of exping ....) ,FFXI boss battle music was amazing !

example : shadowlord (awakening ) , primal trials :o ect

Many people make this kind of thread and never get respond from dev :( Of course I support this.

I love the battle music from the boss FATEs so very much. So much so that even if there's no one else there (and I'm not going to fight the thing alone) I'll stand just inside the boundary for ages just to listen.

The regular battle music, however, is by now terribly dull. Even the minute changes depending on the area can't help that.

I would also like to add that I've had the Chocobo music turned off for quite a while now. It's nice music, but I prefer to hear the area music instead. So I'm up for a toggle for the battle music as well. Although would that also mean I'd miss the FATE music?
