Battle Music Concerns

[Alhanelem]

One of the many ways 1.0 > 2.0 ... music

Sorry, nearly (but not quite) all of the ARR music is vastly superior.

I detect a lot of composer hero worship in this thread. I found most of the 1.0 music to be dull and uninspired. Porbably because the composer was given little to work with to derive a style for the various areas.

-All three city themes both day and night are way better than the originals.

-While I would have preferred a main theme that plays continuously in most parts of a zone (other than the villages/hubs), I feel all the short themes in the field areas are well done, if sometimes a little too short.

-Love the battle music, though I wish each region's theme was a little more distinct compared with the current slight variations on a single theme.

-Love the levequest themes (The verison 1.0 fieldcraft theme was kept in ARR which is quite nice actually), though again I wish it varied by region like in 1.0.

-Love the dungeon themes, I only wish they were designed to play throughout the dungeon rather than only at the beginning. This area is an exception in the variation department, where every dungeon in 1.0 had the same music, in ARR each dungeon has its own theme.

-The themes for the primals are great, especially Titan.

In summary, I only wish there was more! IMO what we have now is great, there just needs to be more of it.

I hate it when people call it "generic" as if it's stock music or something when it's not. 1.0's music was no more or less generic.

You detect hero worship because not everyone finds ARR's generic music superior..?
