Why doesnt the game feel like a Final Fantasy game

**MattAn24** · 05-08-2011 05:21 AM

I.. Actually really like the battle music.. And Limsa & surrounding area themes. Ul'dah ain't bad either. Nobuo Uematsu is a genius and does NOT make bad music. I am a little disappointed that the epic rock battle theme from the trailer is only the secondary battle theme when an enemy is fleeing, etc. That track should be the main one.

At this point I have to concede...SE, why do you not use these clearly superior and more "fitting" themes for the places most players are spending their time?

Listen to mistbeard cove's music, it makes no sense at all. It's town music, when the entire place is an underwater cave/dungeon..............

im not sure if this was clear, just so theres no misunderstanding, the top 5 songs on my last post are the ones i think dont fit either the final fantasy feel, or the slightly slow game type of an mmo.
the bottom 6 songs were songs that i feel are more like the songs expected to hear in a game like this, and even though they ARE in the game, there should be songs (like the bottom 6) in parts of the game that we use all the time, such as crafting battling and city areas.
i mention this because im not quite sure if people agree or disagree with what i have said as my personal opinion

I pretty much thought the same thing!! I thought the music there was actually really cool..and wondered why we didn't hear this in one of our cities.. : /

Suzaku and Ivera, I agree with you guys. I would really like to hear those FF themes, the last 6 you mentioned ivera, in places we spend MOST of our time in. And save the music of the black shroud, etc. for more secretive or less visited places.

Damn it i wanted to complain 'bout the music now i listened to the last two pieces linked and im not in the mood anymore....curses! XD

Anyways... some Music indeed is missing some connection to the Area, but readig through this thread i learned he missed context when he composed the Stuff.... why didnt they give him more detailed info QQ.

Don't know why he wasn't given more detailed info, or at least an idea of what normal FF music is like, but maybe music will be one of those things that's improved/changed over time with updates.. :?

I would think he'd know since he composed for FF I-IX and some of X. As far as the environments, the various themes do fit them nicely, aside from Mistbeard Cove, unless they are going to add some hidden pirate base down there. Black Shroud could've used a more classic Final Fantasy style forest theme as well...and of course some dungeons could use added music, at least in certain sections.

The music thats here is good, they just need to get Uematsu to compose more themes for different areas (dungeons, hamlet villages, special NM battle themes, etc.)

EDIT: Actually looking at Mistbeard Cove's map, the music fits perfectly: There are several areas that show that it's most likely going to be used as a kind of pirate base. Sections of the map are labeled as - Kitchens, Arms Hold, Plunder Hold, Salt Hold, Slophouse, etc.
