FFXI:

FFXIV:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi4St0DoPk0


Just curious what other people think.

FFXI: my favorites... CoP was Amazing, bring back that kind of feeling plz.

Promyvion
The Sactuary of Zi'tah
Rolanberry Fields
A new Horizon
Ro'Maeve
Awekning

FFXIV:
Well i like the landscap etc, but the music dosent fit in like it should...or atleast thats how i feel about it.

FFXIV needs more zones, with almost thier won theme for each, even if its a cave or dungeon.
Copy & Paste music for dungeons...thats not a very good thing.
So i got high hopes for future expansions.
(But it can never be FFXI, wich im fine with...but it shouldnt be less either)

Castrum Nova theme however..... is freakin awesome.
Not to mention Mor Dhona's theme.
Nathalan got a pretty badass theme too.
Oh and the U'Ghamaro Mines theme is freakin sick too.

now that i think of it, all this new music that been added since 2.0
announcement has been awesome lol, im even more hyped now about 2.0 :D
With respect to Nobuo Uematsu, please bring back the wonders of Naoshi Mizuta's music etc. ^-^

Hm. . .
For XI it would have to be Repression~

I had never heard this before, feels a lot like FFIV, thanks for sharing.

United we Stand got me PAWMPed! I didn't play XI... well, past the starting place...

XIV:

United we Stand Battle Theme
Castrum Novum

Nobuo Uematsu, has my gey babbies!

Nice choices, Acacia... my favourites from FFXI and FFX|V have always been the following (list of my top five for both games in descending order):

FFXI Songs
Loved "Voyager" since back when I was a bewildered lvl 20+ on FFXI and had jumped on the Selbina-Mhuara boat

Second place would have be Bahamuts' "Storms of fate" theme... (awesome fight as well)

Third place would have to be Divine Might (Full song here)... (I seriously hope we have something like this in FFXIV)

Fourth is the FFXI Tribune Newspaper song (loved reading this btw)

Last would be the Alexander battle (Epic battle and an epic story that's almost as great as CoP + Zilart)

FFX|V Songs
For FFX|V, my favourite would actually be the Gobbue theme song... very fitting, very soothing. Love it.

Second would be Cid's theme... perfect for the noble core of his character, totally perfect.

Third would be the theme for U'Ghamaro Mines (strangely makes me think of Movalpolos in FFXI)

Fourth would be this battle song for Castrum Novum (totally agree with you, Funky and Yoshikwalla)

Last would definitely be the Caravan Escape song... has an urgency to it that amps the situation. Great composition.

***Thanks to "AMagicalKarp" for putting most of these songs on youtube***

FFXI - Gustaberg
FFXIV - Thanalan (so far)

That one's actually titled The Ruler of the Skies. Storms of fate is the LS fighting him.

From FFXI I'd say either the Besieged music (just for nostalgia purposes) or Repression.

FFXIV is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85aUiujxN8o

Hmmm, if we are including all FFXI songs including main themes:

Memoro de la Stono
otherwise I'd be very hard pressed, probably:
Recollection maybe Dusk and Dawn

For FFXIV, I'm going to have to agree with:
United We Stand

Edit: It should be noted that these are my choices for most memorable songs. There are some absolutely beautiful ambient pieces in both games, I'm quite partial to Gustaburg (Live) for instance.

Too many XI tracks to name.
Nail of the heavens has a great melody by uematsu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LScY2...e_gdata_player

The arrangement of it in game totally drowns it out though.

I must be the only guy wishing for smaller budget ost productions lol :)

FFXI songs:
Ragnarok
Distant Worlds
Depths of the Soul
Onslaught
Mercenary's Delight
Warriors of the Crystal

Distant Worlds is definitely my favorite. I still remember on that fateful day almost 5 years ago when I beat Chains of Promathia and witnessed the 'final' scene with Prishe, Ulmia, Tenzen, Louverant, and everyone else who participated in that struggle.
The scene warmed my heart and soul, but forever left me heartbroken that I'd never go on such an adventure ever again.
FFXI always had that magical feeling for me. :(

The greatest theme for the greatest grand company. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFxWg...e_gdata_player

Probably Ragnarok for FFXI and for FFXIV... either the Kobold stronghold theme, Track 26, or 72... or... nope, no way I can decide that.

FFXI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iefGrRfDOPY

FFXIV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgIeNF9fk-c

From XI, I'd say:

Faded Memories - Promyvion
The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah
Ragnarok
And three that I'm surprised no one's mentioned yet:
Gifts of Paradise - The Garden of Ru'Hmet
The Cosmic Wheel (This is probably my single favorite)
Currents of Time (This was hard to find online!)

In XIV, I'd go with Coerthas, Mor Dhona, and that guildleve music that plays in Coerthas.

Maybe it's the nostalgia, and I'm a huge fan of Uematsu, but in my opinion the music in XI was far and away better than XIV. I chalk that up to, as I've said in previous threads, the fact that SE didn't take the time to properly mix and master the soundtrack before releasing the game (the music we hear is exactly the same as it was in alpha).

Oh, and this version of "Answers" which can only be heard in this trailer.

not sure about 11 but for 14 the Adders Nest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4hMe1IlP84

never played XI but my XIV favorites are:

Original Thanalan Theme
Coerthas Theme
Garuda's Song
The Boss Battle theme in the AF gear quests.
The U'gha-boogie.

FFXI:
Tavnazian Archipelago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXuMUqj2Vjg
Jeweled Boughs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2ghBkJGFhU

FFXIV:
Cid's Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06bIX...ADEC8B4731F515

Ah come. If you started in san'doria for the purpose of killing orcs you'll know what Im talking about. The beginning of it all and, hands down, the best of them all.

First off, thanks OP for making this topic (I'm always a fan of VGM for FF games and the online ones are no exception).

FFXI:
Want to start off by saying there are TONS of good tracks here but I'll list only a few (didn't play beyond ToAU) -
The Celestial Capital of Al'taieu (this song has quite the pacifying effect)
The Grand Duchy of Jeuno
Sarutabaruta
Jeweled Boughs

FFXIV:
Coerthas BGM
Navigator's Glory (LL BGM and this song just screams "epic adventure GO!")

I don't know how I forgot about Bustle of the Capital. I used to just stand around in Whitegate listening to this song.

FFXIV : Love them all but, ill go for Gustaberg and sanctuary of zitah

FFXIV : La Noscea

P.S: Music in FFXIV isnt as good as FFXI and sometime i like to play FFXIV with the music of XI lol

This music from FFXIV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYWTZNLw6NA

I don't know the name of this song, I wish I did and it took me forever to find it lol

I know! We don't know any of the song titles. Surely there must be a community rep who can find these out for us...

FFXI
1. Sunbreeze Shuffle
I even made lyrics to this song. <3 I love it so much!
2. Memoro De La Stono
3. Gustaberg

FFXIV

1. Coerthas
2. Twilight Over Thanalan
I remember before the game came out this song was floating around and we called it Morose Melody. (I think this was it.) Anyway reminds me of when I first started.
3. Answers

I played the game very linear... ly and I didn't venture outside my starting city until required by my new quest.

I walked south to Tranquil and down to where the Twelvewood ended.

I came out in Thanalan at night with this quiet piano music music playing. I think I stood there looking up for about 5 minutes. So many stars! Sunrise happen before I got to Uldah, I had to stare at that too.

Boy when you spend all your time in Grid you really start missing a sky! Glad that will be fixed in 2.0.

Haha, that is a fun song! When starting up FFXI, this is the first song I heard while venturing out into Ronfaure with my little brother.

I forgot to add "Answers" to my list of favorite FFXIV music. D:

I hate this thread....so very much. I'm THIS close to reinstalling FFXI. But I really shouldn't. Not much waiting for me there. But damn so much nostalgia. I miss those days where I rode the boat while listening to "voyager". I miss taking airships around. I can remember my first time listening to the music when I reached lufaise meadows. The epic battle songs when battling the AA, the older(but smaller) zilart brother, Promathia, Alexander. God so many good memories...I really hate this thread lol.

S-E should really look at what FFXI did right. I hope 2.0 won't let me down on the music/zone combinations.

Also, I'm not going to suggest any songs. Most if not all of them were already listed in Funky's and Ramesses list.

I'm sorry but I'll continue to state that FFXI's musics are "over 9000" better the FFXIV's ones.

FINAL FANTASY XI:
San D'Oria Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaGaGqejQqI
Windurst Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnP16Ypf4l4
Bastok Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iefGrRfDOPY
Ronfaure Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WAcS-1H3BM

Gustaberg Theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0rYk83Rt0A

my favorite FFXI cutscene music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuqJ9m35Ulo

FFXIV "Louisoix's Theme" one of my faves:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prDxOJUyz2c

and if you don't know it yet - check this XIII Versus track out :p
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut_2iPt27nI

There was so much good music in XI it's hard to choose. But off the top of my head probably Zi'Tah and Awakening.

In XIV, it's gotta be The Good King Moggle Theme!

Almost exactly what I would have chosen~

I'd add Xarcabard, and Sarutabaruta S to the list.

The Good King Moogle theme is great (obvious nod to Nightmare Before Christmas), but I don't want to see any more music of that particular style in the game... its perfect and unique where it is.

Almost forgot. I am going to add one music to this topic after all from FFXI. Mostly because I always found it a shame that it wasn't placed at a better location.

Heaven's Tower

I still put this music on in the background while crafting.

XIV: Faction leve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx_z1wI0RuM
and garuda theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaCMC_1-bhI
"Now, Fall!"

From XI:

The Celestial Capital of Al'Taieu

The Garden of Ru'Met

Autumn Footfalls

Fighters of the crystal

From XIV:

Ishgarde's Theme?

Coerthas battle theme

Job quest final battle theme

Broken Angel

Good King Moggle Mog

Navigator's Glory

FFXI - Gustaberg
FFXIV - Twilight over Thanalan

FFXI: Ronfaure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clld-gFL050

FFXIV: (|Hmmm.|)
