ff11 music in ffxiv

Since the ff11 music is already implemented in the game because of the recent event, can we have the chance in the future to play these music while we are fighting bosses or mobs instead of ff14 music ?

I would love, love, love to see FFXI music and anything in general during the crossover event. <3 XI and its players.

My ears orgasmed from nostalgia when I heard the FFXI battle music.

Then I proceeded to do what I did best, grind crabs.

The first fate to remind people of all those parties in the dunes killing crabs. Then later, still no ring off Serket in the third fate. Some things still don't change. Otherwise FFXI had that one item for the house that could play a selection of in game music. I wouldn't mind seeing that for FC and private chambers. Hell they can even cash shop the music addons that isn't freebie or default in the game.

That item is the Orchestrion, and it is actually coming as furnishing to FFXIV (Yoshi stated the basics of it are worked out, they just need time to finish off the coding for it and the like, stated in here and here). But I doubt it will allow us to play FFXI tracks.

Although hearing tracks like Battle in the Dungeon and Recollection during that event was really nostalgic and great fun, FFXI's music was unfortunately something of a mixed bag - despite some amazing music, Mizuta also did far too many repetitive tracks that really got grating on the ears, especially battle themes, but zone music also fell into that (Selbina and it's Irish jig was probably the worst offender, but Kazham was another one that made me want to stick pins in my ears by the 9000th time it looped).

Either way, a couple of nostalgia pieces are nice, but again, this is FFXIV not FFXI. Having one-off small music references like Terra's Theme on the Magitek Armour or FFII's Battle I play during certain special story battles is different to wanting the full OST replaced wholesale with FFXI's soundtrack simply for nostalgia. But then, I often play devil's advocate on this forum so I'm probably one of the few who feel this way.

Why cant we use this Orchestrion thing while we are fighting dungeons/bosses or when we are running towns ? why does it have to to be only in FC house ?
