Bothered by the lack of unique mount music

Is anyone else kinda bothered by how many mounts just use the default music?
I love collecting mounts, but I feel like theres so many missed opportunities to have unique music attached to them.

Some mounts I can think of and suggested music:
Beast tribe mounts (e.g. Direwolf) - The respective beast tribe area's music (Such as Breathless, Far from Home, and Coming Home)
Frontline mounts (e.g. Storm warsteed) - The Frontline theme (The war room)
Ishgard restoration mounts (e.g. dhalmel) - The Diadem theme (Engage)
Eureka mounts (e.g. Eurekan Petrel) - The Eureka theme (Wicked Winds Whisper)
Demi-Ozma - The Baldesion Arsenal Theme (Gates of Paradise - The Garden of Ru'Hmet)
Hybodus - The music that plays during ocean fishing (I know its not original to ocean fishing but its still related to the content)

I'm not saying this is a big issue or anything, but I just feel like it would be a nice change. Some of my favorite mounts I don't even like visually, I just like them because of the music attached!

I can understand that maybe the more difficult mounts deserve music such as the primal mounts, but mounts like Demi-Ozma or the frontline mounts also take a lot of effort to get so I feel like they also deserve a unique theme.

What do you guys think?

I have mount music turned off lol. That music gets annoying.

I do wish they would have various mount music of the instances, beast tribes, etc. that it's related to. I mean, it's already in the game. Right now though I do have mount music off because I love the zone music especially in the ShB areas.

/signed.

I dont get whats so hard to give at least ANYTHING different then those two default themes.

It's a shame they didn't manage to get any unique Tracks for the Garo Mounts.

Personally I would like Sephirot's mount changes to his actual theme, not the generic triad theme

otherwise yes i agree

Are the Primal mounts basically the only ones with their theme songs attached?

They addressed this one once in the past. Basically each time a mount uses a different song, its stored in a certain way. Last we heard (sometime around the launch of Stormblood) the storage was getting fairly full and they didn't plan on adding new songs to mounts outside of the trial/raid mounts. If they can figure out a way to increase the storage or optimize the way it is stored, I would love more thematic variation. But, I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Some mounts have their own theme like the chocobo, fat chocobo, raid mounts (e.g. Model O, Alte Roite, and Arrhaeus), and recently some mounts like the carbuncle, panda, and indigo whale have been given the palace of the dead music "The Merry Wanderer Waltz". Other than that the majority have either the ARR mount music or the HW mount music shared across them.

Ah I see that makes sense, if they ever figure it out how to optimize it I would love for this to be considered because I'm sure other people would want it implemented too!

While I can understand that, you'd think they could at least add just one new mount song per expansion. That HW theme gets a bit old in ShB.

Well, at the time I think they even used the word "finite" to describe the space available. We typically get 10 special song mounts per expansion, remember, which could be quite a lot in a finite situation. I'm sure this situation could always change, but from a logistics standpoint I'm sure they've already considered how much they can add - similar to the glamour dresser storage issue.

you guys have mount music turned on?

The fact we have a spriggan, a literal Easter egg and fat cat not play some form of papaya is an injustice.

Nope. I have had mount music turned off for a very long time.

I've never used mount music either. I'd much rather hear the individual zone music.

That is the thing they added a unique mount music(at least at the time) to the falcon porters in Stormblood which easily could've been generic SB mount music but nope HW sigh

I turned mount music off the day I got my first mount.. Seemed just silly to me that some big yellow bird would play music whenever I rode it.

"I've had mount music turned off..."

Like.... okay? Still doesn't change the fact that most generic mounts they introduce still use music from like 4 years and 2 expansions ago.

Just cause YOU don't use it doesn't mean that it can't still be improved upon for those that do.

This whole time and I didn't realize you could turn off mount music....








Fat Chocobo theme still makes me smile.

Yes. I was so disappointed that the GsoR didn't have the Qitari theme.

I'm not sure how a Final Fantasy fan can ride a big yellow bird without the chocobo theme playing. XD

As someone who's never played another FF game and isn't particularly inclined to, I can't stand that song and it's the reason I had mount music off for ages :P

I usually have my own music playing over the game, but more mount music's not a bad thing imo. If the Sephi bird played his theme I might just use it more.

It's really annoying to me how music changes every time you mount/dismount. Turned mount music off pretty soon.

Yeah, Im not sure why they keep using the Hevensward music on every mount, they could at least use unique music for each expansion.
Stormblood could use the falcon porter music.
Shadowbringers could use the amaro music.
