music are not rpg music

we need more rpg music

Uhm and what about dolls? I want a doll for my character and also an /emote to make him brush her hairs

are? you mean IS? and mmorpg music or rpg music?

Anyway I agree, Nobuo has lost his touch, I like about 3-4 songs in total.

Geez, the guy has written thousands of songs, a good 60 or 70 for this game alone. You expect every one of 'em to be the FF6 Magitek Factory?!

I actually think this game's OST is one of the best of the series. Most battle themes outisde of the regular ones are just plain awesome.

Mistbeard Cove's theme is awesome.
The town themes are awesome.
A good deal of the cutscene songs are pretty good.

This is not FFIX good, but still pretty solid OST IMO.

The Black Shroud music is creepy awesome. :D

IMHO the OST is one of the areas of the game that's downright awesome, and probably the best OST in a MMORPG to date.

Please let us have a way to remove the synthesis music (not just mute the game music altogether!). I've always enjoyed listening to the area music and having to hear something otherwise for long crafting periods just isn't pleasing for me.

I like all FF Themesongs basically, and I do agree that XIV's OST is one of the best.

@Viion I knew you were Premium Virtue! XD

Damn! I've been spotted XD

I prefer XI's songs over XIV's tho, XIV is to cinematic and to much trying to be a classical in someways, XI was just comforting background noise. Even games like Neir has better OST imo

I agree, I much preferred his style in FFXI along with Naoshi Mizuta. It had more of an adventurous feel to it rather than some tacky 80's synth-pop-mixed-with-folk thing going on and was a lot more melodious/diverse. Love the Limsa Lominsa theme but the rest is disappointing.

While good the FF XI soundtrack is far better.

No flaming Nobou please! Seriously, I like the music. I think more tracks could be added. I think they should have another composer do the rest of the music (Kumi come back!!!) like XI was mixed composers.

The XIV soundtrack is pretty bad. Coerthas, Mor Dhona, and one of the boss themes are good but otherwise I'd give it a 4/10.

I like the music, but also was a little puzzled that it broke with the trend of having many orchestral themes, instead having mostly synth. The battle music is some of my favorite of the series, possibly second only to the boss battle themes of FF6-8, so that's a definite high point. Some of the zone music is also very good, but much of it is, though atmospheric, fairly forgettable.

I realize Nobuo Uematsu's a top tier freelance composer now so they probably won't be able to get him to compose many expansion soundtracks, but I hope in the future instead of deciding music by huge sweeping region, instead there are more universal themes that change based on subzones in order to introduce some variety.

I am enjoying the music for the most part. Much of it feels appropriate to the settings.

The FFXIV OST is actually one of the few things from this game that got overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Sad part is I haven't heard many of the tracks actually used in the game though. They seem to be saving certain tracks for future stuff possibly?

EQ2 had a neat filesystem deal that let you replace any song in the game with your own music, that was pretty neat. And there are a few themes which grate a little when you've heard them too many times.

that being said a lot of music in the game is wonderful, and Nobuo easily did more work on this one game than a lot of edit:video game:edit composers have done in their entire careers.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard on these forums so far, and I've heard quite a few ridiculous things.

Fixed that for you.

Coerthas has pretty damn good music, especially it's battle theme... Makes the fight pretty epic. But I do agree on getting rid of the synthesis music.. SOOO annoying
