About in-game seasonal events.

I'll be as brief as I can be. It's a simple request that I feel would make seasonal events in Eorzea a little bit better. I like the Seasonal Event music for the Starlight Celebration, All Saints Wake and many other in-game seasonal events that we have, including "The Rising" anniversary event.

However, after I have done the quests related to these Seasonal Events my festive feeling in Eorzea is gone after a few days. This is mainly due to the musical theme for these events being restricted to certain area that I rarely pass by unless I'm doing the seasonal event of course.

So my request would be that while these Seasonal Events are running, all the normal town themes for Limsa, Gridania and Ul'dah be replaced by the event music. To me this seems like a simple request that would make seasonal events in Eorzea at least feel like they are more prevalent.

As it is right now, I can easily forget that the seasonal event is even on. The Starlight Celebration having a slight exception since it snows in the cities. But still, adding the event music across all town zones would enhance that "festivy" feeling.

That's my opinion and request for seasonal events in future. Thanks for reading~ ^^

Please no :S Can you imagine Papaya non-stop... eugh :S

If you have a house or your FC has a house, you could always get them to put it on the orchestrion?

sounds like a good idea

but then papaya came in my mind... where to flee when easter event arrives? c.c,,

Fine for everything except Papaya.

I feel the opposite actually! I don't like how the festival music interrupts the standard music when you're just passing by the area - particularly Ruby Road in Ul'dah, where the 'music area' covers the main street. (They do seem to have adjusted the size of the music area around the Aftcastle in Limsa though - no longer getting it as you go down the street to Maelstrom HQ, which is better.

Maybe they just need to invent a "portable orchestrion" (=MP3 player) that you can change the background music any time you like, as long as you have the item.

Then again, I don't think you can actually buy the Starlight background music...? There's the one orchestrion roll on sale, but that's the FATE music, isn't it?

i think that was 2016 event roll

Wow, honestly didn't think this would be so opposed. It's not like it'd be permanent lol. Just trying to make these seasonal events seem like they're actually happening. :3

Play this on loop while you're alive and never end it. This is the one orchestron roll I will never EVER touch. I'd have to jump off of witchdrop if they played it in all the towns everywhere.

Seems like they need to work on that Easter theme more, if it's giving everyone some sort of PTSD trigger lol.

I remember back in ffxi there was a holiday version of the Jeuno music, it would just make everything feel like christmas. So nice. But it was in a zone that players used for idling, so we were able to enjoy it. If there were similar versions of background music for the housing areas and/or the main idle zone in this game, or at least use the event music in those areas, it would be more enjoyable.

I actually really like the Papaya song. It's even my ringtone. XD

That or 2015. I have Starlight playing in my house as I post.

As for Papaya I like it. Not all of the time but enough that it is in my playlist rotation.

What if we asked Soken to create new mixes of the city-state themes that use/mix in seasonal instruments?

Apologies to Soken for possibly making more work for him, but we KNOW he's talented enough to do it.

The problem with changing/remixing whole cities’ BGM, for me, is that it messes with the feel of the place - which is okay if you’re just hanging out there, but not for doing serious quests.

(At risk of sounding all “bah humbug” I’m not keen on the gaudy decorations either - emphasis on gaudy. They’ve gone to the effort of inventing their own lore for a setting-appropriate version of Christmas - why not keep the decorations a bit more fitting too? The piles of cartoon-bright presents look out-of-place.)
