Anyone else hope some more tracks from 1.0 gets used in 3.3+ and/or 4.0+? (e.g. Nail of the Heavens)

Never played 1.0, but there was one song I used to hear on youtube. It was the battle!? theme that played for La Noscea.
Definitely! Although I'd love to see more 1.0 tracks available on the Orchestrion as well, just having missing music from 1.0 like Navigator's Glory and Piece of Mind return would be amazing. :)
As a start, these are the tracks from 1.0 I would love to hear somewhere in ARR that have not yet returned:
Navigator's Glory ~ The Theme of Limsa Lominsa - self explainatory, this was the original city theme for Limsa Lominsa in 1.0. It was also the very first piece of music I ever heard for FFXIV 1.0 back when it was first announced at E3 2009, as it was used in that original trailer there. :)
Born of the Boughs ~ The Theme of Gridania - again, exactly what it says on the tin this was Gridania's original city theme in 1.0, and I still miss it.
Emerald Labyrinth - the original zone theme for the Black Shroud in 1.0, later in 1.0's life it was changed to only play in deeper parts of the forest.
The Forest's Pulse - the 1.0 Black Shroud battle theme
Widdershins - the 1.0 Thanalan zone theme that was added later which played in more higher level parts of the zone, especially around Zan'rak and Little Ala Mhigo
Holy Consult - a cutscene track that was often used for scenes involving Ishgardian npcs, I assume this was also planned to have been eventually used as Ishgard's original 'city' theme, but naturally that never happened.
The Seventh Gate - battle theme that played during certain instanced duty battles, it's cues to FFVII's Still More Fighting were obvious ;)
Tears For Mor Dhona - Mor Dhona's 1.0 zone theme, this spooky music still makes me break out in goosebumps every time I hear it. It just fitted the zone perfectly
Phantoms on the Lake - Mor Dhona's 1.0 battle theme, I would love to see the full track return though, as an abridged version appears in ARR that was used in the Lost City of Amdapor, known as 'Persistence' on the Before the Fall album, but I would still love to have the full track return as well.
Piece of Mind - a cutscene track that appeared when arriving in your starting city in 1.0 as well as when choosing the Path Companion, this is probably the 1.0 track I would love to see come back the most as it is my favourite FFXIV 1.0 track (next to Answers of course ;)).
Likewise. I actually really hate (not dislike, but hate) Persistence due to how horribly repetitive it is. It's the only music I mute in FFXIV (if given the chance). By the way, missed opportunity with Keeper of the Lake's music. They could have had Tears for Mor Dhona play as the dungeons main theme and have Phantoms on the Lake play as the mini-boss theme. Would have been perfect.
Yes! A lot of 1.0 tracks are so good.
I still find it odd that they replaced most of 1.0's music for 2.0, some being reused at places it didn't belong before like the Coerthas battle theme used in hunts or duties.
Many 1.0 tracks were nice, hopefully some will make it. Would enjoy a few from other ff as well
The Warrens - Snowcloak.
Emerald Labirinth - 1.0
Oblivion - Shiva
More Gridanian songs.
Twilight over Thanalan
Dragonsong - HW
A Night in The Bune - Ishgard
Alexander tracks, especially A8
Tempest - T9. Not sure if they just renamed this Rise of The White Raven in the game but believe me in the soundtrack its called Tempest.
The Great Gubal Library
Mog HM/EX.
Moonfire Fair
The Starlight Celebration
Tbh i want more, even from other FF games but idk if that will happen..
The 1.0 town themes were so much better, I really wish there were a way to have them play instead of the new ones.
I looove the old Gridania music, I really hope we get that back. I have listened to it on my iPod while in the city and it makes Gridania feel magical and mysterious instead of... a bunch of hippies.
1.0 battle theme's were amazing i loved the "rock" style
The Twin Faces of Fate and Twilight Over Thanalan came to be very very special to me; I would love to hear them in game again! IIRC Twilight was used for a cutscene but it just wasn't enough.. ; ;
It really would be a waste to not reuse them all in some way in this game.
The most awesome song other than Twilight over Thanalan (the 1.0 Thanalan theme) that needs to be in this game is the 1.0 Coerthas theme. For anyone that's never heard it (shamelessly linked to an FC mate's video):

YES! I think Unspoken is the number one piece of music I miss the most from 1.0. My friend that got me started playing the game used to haul out to Coerthas with me. We'd sit out by Ashpool and just listen to the music for hours. When I was leveling fisher and doing leves in Coerthas in 2.0, I turned off the game music, fired up iTunes and listened to Unspoken on repeat.
I'm kinda jonesin' for On Windy Meadows for the Orchestrion at least. It was the theme for La Noscea in 1.0, which I played for all of like two hours but still enjoyed that track, and still listen to it frequently.
They mixed it into the Aleport/Moraby theme as well as Hullbreaker Island's music, both of which are also conspicuously missing from the Orchestrion list.
