Im not gonna wax poetic here, I just feel like it should've been the Elysion theme "Cradle of Hope" I mean honestly, why isn't it?

something something [insert lame excuse about limited slots for mount music here] blah blah blah
short answer
square is lazy
We have the same post made every time a new mount is released.
The official answer in the past has been that there is a limited total number of songs that they can use for mount music, so they don't give individual music to many mounts or they'll run out over the long term. Presumably one of those short-sighted decisions they made when trying to get ARR out the door as soon as possible.
People play with mount music on?
hm. i guess if thats true, that really is pretty dumb and short-sighted, especially if they plan to have this game going for anywhere near another decade...
Consistency doesn't always mean effort.
It's usually a case by case basis.
For us players it's easy to say lazy.
just as it is for others to say you know nothing.
The chance a question about foundational upgrades being done to the game being answered if asked, are unlikely, sadly.
Can only Hope that the 7.0 Graphics update/upgrade are more than just new paint.
<cause if it's/isnt more than just, they will -never- hear the end of it.>
In short. the mounts music doesn't match the expectations of some, while others didn't care.
<personally I have yet to get it, but I would of hoped to get the Elysion Track just like my Silkies got the New version track in Variant.>
There is, its something with how they load it and how the mounts cant use the same tracks as the zones, it was explained a long time ago and after that they like to ignore the question.
...but really, find a workaround... it sucks.
Ah someone found it for me:

They don't because they "Don't have enough space", at least that was the excuse before.
Even though they obviously keep adding more and more mounts with other songs.
EDIT: Before someone gets mad about it, I went to try and look for it and have the thread with someone asking the same exact thing and my own post is there where I do exactly that and found a slightly related response
Sokken: I have a request for the sound team and QA for this. Something I always get asked about the Waring Triad mounts. A lot of time people think ur music is the latter half of the battle but I The Sephorot case it is the music from the first half of the fight. People say “change it!” But if we do change it people will say “why did you change it!”.
Yoshida: If we did change it we wouldn’t have the first stage music would not be on the mounts. As a development team people say “you could just change it” – as a development team if it were that simple we would have already done it. Everything in the game has an ID and there are no more IDs. https://www.brokenjoysticks.net/2018...-fest-qa-2018/
EDIT #2: Found a more official response but still not the one actually explaining the whole situation. From Live Letter 42.
Q40: Thanks for changing the music for the Alte Roite mount! Please let me know if you have plans to change any of the other mount music. Also, do you have plans to add more variations for the general mount music?
A40: I understand there’s a request to change the BGM from the general ones, but for those that may have split opinions on which BGM to use, we use the general one.
The amount of data we can apply to mount BGM is also becoming very tight, so it would be difficult to answer all the requests, but we’re considering them based on everyone’s feedback, so please be sure to let us know!
The music is fine
You are just...jelly..:cool::cool:
