No reason to stick around these bland starting zones xD

No reason not to either, and there lies the problem.

I love Uematsu, don't get me wrong guys, but I hate his 80s hair metal phase. The black mages ( i have the two main albums they did, love them but not the vocal tracks) is better than some of these background tracks. Some need minor work and he knows that, he said he didn't get to see finalized version of zones before he made music, he only got to see concept art. He'll know better for expansion zones.

Agreed, but the soundtrack itself is great and VERY Final Fantasy! Just sucks how he didn't have context to go with his work so some stuff is... off xD ... Soooooo many unused tracks too for those that have heard the OST^^ Lots of songs used too only once or twice in game that are really wowing- "Answers" being one of those tracks imho *^.^*

I think you misunderstand me.The SP is just as fast here as it is there and there's literally no one in the other zone to party with. That's the problem, not players not wanting to explore.

This games music is horrible except like, mor dhona :/

The music in XIV is beautiful, I just think some pieces they used in certain areas just do not fit :/

Get a party together and go over there^^ If you surround yourself with bland people who stay in one spot then that's your choice^^ But there's plenty of people who actually like to get out and do things in these other zones :P There's no city there of course (in Mor Dhona), uldah's a hub nothing more really. Just cause you gather people in uldah doesn't mean your stuck to that zone *^.^* ...

Again all your choice and that's on the player, there's nothing really to discuss lol Blame the dev team if you want, but there are people willing and able to change things up and not Rank 1-50 in one pathetic boring zone. Not going to get on the whole anti socialism of FF 14 though o.O Already a thread about that anyways Hehe

Yeah, like coerthas. The music in coerthas makes no sense, it's great music but it doesn't fit the zone AT ALL imo. It's ru'lude gardens music, not coerthas music o_o It belongs in a big awesome elegant city.

People who say FFXIV has bad music are absolutely deaf. The only thing you can really fault Uematsu on is the fact that some tracks aren't really consistent with the theme of the game.

FFXI has better music than FFXIV? What?

This is pure example of people who are too stricken with nostalgia to hear straight.

No, it isn't better. Yes FFXI is a great game yes it has good music but a lot of the music contains recycled beats and lacks spirit. Compared to most FF games, only a small handful of songs really stick out.

FFXIV contains a lot of variation and a lot of style, and it conveys mood quite well. Some songs not as good as others but its soundtrack is better than XI by far.
