System configuration > Sound settings > BGM - 0 > YouTube > Win?
While we're at it I would loveeeeee an option to turn battle music off in general. Always interrupts the nice music playing already.
WoW does this by default. Don't see why Square Enix couldn't offer us the option. Since when I played WoW I had to use DeadlyBossMods-VictorySound just so I could have a theme for boss battles instead of the ambient theme, as I hated the ambient theme when fighting a boss. Same reason I love FFXIV even more, is because by default we get kick-ass themes right from the get go for battle and bosses. Though I understand not everyone agrees with me so an option would be perfect.
No need to get sassy man. I'm just saying you can easily facilitate this on your own.
Most game OST's can be found on YouTube for example, so in this case I would mute my BGM in-game and bring up a soundtrack I liked from YouTube. You could also play it via Listenonrepeat.com so it would be just like the same thing. It's an easy solution that I just thought you would like to know.
Ah right, I'm on a PC so I sadly don't know what to suggest for console players.
I would love to be able to turn off battle and boss music. I can't stand the theme for the bosses anymore. I don't know why they can't just let dungeon music play the whole time instead.
Realistically, they probably won't give us an option. They don't even let us separate that stupid crowd chatter from the rest of the ambient tracks.
On that topic, I really would appreciate that SE did something about FATE music.
I mean, I like it and all while battling and stuff, but if Im on a lvl 60 char passing by a lvl 55 or lower FATE which Im hella sure not stopping to fight at all, why is the music playing anyway? This is most apparent when doing ARR beast tribes... geez...
Would like it so FATE music only played if you are actually fighting in the FATE zone :|
I'd like to turn off the BGM whilst *STILL* allowing in duty music, so the BGM = 0 option is no good. A /bgm on or /bgm off macro would be heavenly.
Plus you can disable mount music. Why not fight or fate.
Option to disable battle music would be terrific, I find myself constantly having to lower the BGM up and down, and frankly the battle music is not chill at all, I get its supposed to be upbeat but hey the only thing that will play in my living room is chill music sorry.
But then you'd miss Sephirot and A8's kick-ass new music.
And that'd be terrible.
Not if they separated background & instance music, like any common sense development team would, to ensure that their hard work wasn't always ignored. We have BGM thrust at us continually, I hear it in my sleep, whereas instance music is heard far more sparsely. It's been an age since I heard King Moggle Mog music (for example).
Beautiful music in shroud, reaching a point of euphoria then the Fate music hits. Urgh, just URGH.
I love video game music. I have a LOT of FFXIV's music on my phone. However, my least favorite boss theme is the newer one that plays at the end of the dungeons now. They never gave me a sense of accomplishment.
Remember when you first did Copperbell Mines, and you got to the boss? When he bust a hole in the wall to allow his buddies passage to go destroy other wall? Then, they come back to the group and gang up on the healer while the rest of the group try to burn the boss? THAT was satisfying. I'm not a fan of the current theme.

Why do I have to do that when the game itself can just have a small little box that you can check to turn off the battle music. Spotify doesn't have dungeon themes. Maybe I don't want to use youtube because the video will eventually stop. I don't understand why every suggestion somebody makes has to be met with a bandaid fix. I just want to turn off the boss music.
