EXACTLY! Your 'Loyalty Mode' thread is still one of my favorites, LOL.

But, dammit, this sound truly is horrible! And it seems that those of us with any sort of music background recognize it.

I would much prefer this! I'd take classic, in a pinch, but I think this actually fits the FFXIV style a little better. It's light and pleasant, and not like the dull thud we get now.
