Please re-implement music fade-in and fade-out

I know this is a very minor complaint in the grand scheme of things, but PLEASE make music fade in and out just like it used to. I had no issues with how it worked but now it's extremely annoying to switch from one background music to another with no delay.

This is frustrating because the music simply skips from one tune to the next, if you've done any levequests since the update you'll notice how the victory theme just jumps out of nowhere and attacks your ears... :(

I'm not sure what was wrong with it before that prompted the devs to make this change but I can assure it's a very annoying and pointless change.

I think most of the Japanese players complained about the fade-in and fade-out. Personally I prefer it without fading.

but... why? It made more sense than the song INSTANTLY changing into something else... You ever seen a movie or listened to an album where that happens consistently? I sure haven't.

The bigger mobs made some sense and actually mattered in a gameplay perspective... The music change doesn't affect anything and it's a tasteless change really. At least give us the option to change it back!

With the fades it seemed it took awhile for the music to start up and end. Anyway having the songs start up instantly doesn't bother me, I'm used to it from FFXI.

Then shorten the fade in/fade out time? It doesn't mean you have to remove it completely. It's like rather than fixing things they just prefer to remove them entirely...

Eh they could do that. I really don't care either way. I wasn't bothered by the fading either, I just like the game more without it. If they put it back in, then whatever.

With the fade in/fade out, you were missing easily the first second of the songs. I like it better the way it is now.

I prefer the Guilty Gear X announcer saying "SLASH!" At the end of a boss battle. Or at least the mobs scream echoed.

Because every FF game or RPG for that matter has instantly switching tracks whenever something happens?

Was this really a big jp concern? Lol how many posts did that thread get?
Kindof a waste of everyone's time to dick around with stupid changes like that. At lest one of the teams needs more to do.

well for one this change doesn't bother me at all. the in game music was so bad i turned the music volume down to zero within a few weeks of starting the game.

I had assumed they did it for performance issues. /shrug

I liked the fading better too, but it's not that big of deal.

Well theres nothing wrong with it instantly starting and stopping, but they should add a delay in between starts and stops now. Imo..

I enjoyed the fade in/fade out to the music, I felt it was a nice transition between music pieces.

I Liked the fade in/out as well. but i really dont mind the way it is now. I wonder how difficult it would be to add a toggle for it in the in game config.

If its true and they "have problems to add a mailbox due to server or whatever issues" i think it will be VERY difficult for them.
Sad but true.

I feel the same way, maybe to could simply add an option in the configuration window (the one outside the game with all the settings) to make music fade?

I never had a problem with the fade-in and fade-out music, but then again I don't have a problem with the cut-ins either. *shrug*

Umm... no? This wasn't the first game to have fade-in/out. Not sure how you came to that conclusion.

He read it, but his point still stands. In the grand scheme of things, it's really not that big a deal. Seriously.

That's the very first thing I said, which means I agree with you. That doesn't mean I can't say anything about it. There's people on here that complain for much less, I'm just asking they give us the option to leave it as it was.

Agreed. More options is good.

How about fade out/cut in?

Music fades down so you're no longer bopping to the beat (if you do that sort of thing), you get the expectation something is about to come in.... FANFARE in all it's glory.

Best of both worlds, no?
