Dev. Request: Jukebox & a reason to revisit old content

Hey dev team, please please can we have:

Furniture Item: Jukebox

You want us to keep revisiting old content, right? As I'm sure players who haven't done it yet want us to as well. Introduce a music disc loot item for that content. It could have the same drop rate % as the 2.x extreme primal mounts. We could configure the jukebox to shuffle, repeat & create a playlist. The housing area music got really boring and the game has much more enjoyable music to offer to us in a place where we like to hangout!

The jukebox can also be a high-end free company crafting project to add more content to that area and it'd be a massive nod to Soken, which he definitely deserves, especially he has already created the music that were designed for phases/ areas in an easy listening format for the OST!

Thanks guys! Keep up the good work!
Lethys,

I like this idea, I'm guessing we would have to run dungeons until some kind of Allagan music device drops.

If this happens I am going to spam the hell out of Pharos and The Lost City.

Yes! I would farm them with you and be perfectly willing to help as many people through it as possible to get that disc! LCoA <3

Yeah... I'd Farm Pharos for days for this.

No eff that. Library.

Didn't Yoshi already confirm this to be coming in 3.1? They wanted to get the jukebox in for 3.0 but had to push it back to 3.1 as they hadn't finalised how players would unlock different music tracks. It sounds like they had most of the features you've requested already planned though.

Ohhh really? Do you have a source? Exciting!

Can't wait for this, so tired of same old campy tune in housing, usually listen to Pandora, but would be nice to listen to some of the game tracks I like instead.

Hopefully they put the Alex music in it as well! I support this, hopefully they do implement it!

It was the live letter prior to the expansion launching but I can't for the life of me find a quote right now. I'm afraid you'll just have to take what I say as rumour for now.

Yoshi was talking about the fact that the housing team was off the Gold Saucer so they were free to get back to making new housing features but then they got sidetracked helping with the deadline crunch for launch so things got put back. I think the only new housing feature to make it into the expansion was the music boxes, whilst a bunch of things are now due to release with 3.1 instead. Hopefully we'll hear something about it in the live letter next week.

I'm tired of the basic housing area music. I love the idea of 'discs' as rare drops, it really would get people out farming older content!

I up the ante, what if you get a bard NPC to travel with you so he can learn the music make it learn by percent the music of said dungeon/duty depending on how well did you clear it (if it dies, well you will have to repeat, basically an escort mission, level caped.

then he gives you the "partitur" when he reach 100% and using other stuff you craft the "disc" for the jukebox.

Ahh thanks for this info. I was kind of dissapointed with the lack of love for housing and furniture when the expansion dropped, and I know a large portion of my FC will be excited to hear this :)

I think enough content is tied behind dungeons as is. I would like to have a jukebox feature though. :D

Wait...wait... the music box available for crafters doesn't do this?

*throws out adamantite cylinder*

I like this idea, though I'm waiting for the inevitable "SE needs to work on making housing accessible to EVERYONE before they add more features to it!" comment.

WoW feature.

One that I couldn't have been arsed to do because I don't have sound on most of the time anyways.

But...

Unless the drop rate for reels is abysmally low, there'll be folks that have them all by the end of the first week so it's moot in "getting people into old content".
