Pharos Sirius's bgm

[Nestama]

If the Pharos song had a continuation rather than a loop however that would be fine. But when it comes to the same thing repeating over and over with no variation to make it interesting, that's something the community here just won't stand for. Ok really bad example, that one.

I always wished that Pharos Sirius' theme played in a way that changed after every boss. Start would be the singing, after first boss it would be music, after second boss we hear the humming, after Tyrant complete silence and then on Siren, the battle sounding part of the song plays (extended and three minutes long before looping again. That would have been a delight). This is what you meant by continuation or something, right?

You negate overall looping music. Already are a number of duties with it and seems community is not so much raged about.

Don't know how many times you done Pharos, but too much times there is just plain silence, and background music is exactly intended to fill that silence. Background is background and looping is fine, it is not the main theme you want listen with your portable mp3.

Then, even after nerf it seems a good number of players ragequit it at start, so they really doesn't have to care at all about its bgm music.

Right- something like that would make sense. It wouldn't have to cut to dead silence, but having it transition to refrains that can loop without it being so obvious as background music, and could transition based on progress, would keep it from getting old. They probably could have the right elements present within the original composition to replay some as background music without it being so overt. I think the reason people aren't as sick of this music as they are the rest, they haven't had to listen to it over and over. Easy theory to test- someone who wants it to loop in it's current form could record it with an app at the beginning and then play it back with looping on the rest of the dungeon.

I think whether someone agrees with the above or not probably has a high correlation with how they'd answer this question- do you pick up on certain looping background elements in cities that especially annoy you because you've unintentionally learned the pattern? I can name at least 5 things that annoy me offhand- like in Gridania markets you have the annoying make Lalafell going "Hyuk Hyuk... hey!!!", and the female Mi'Qote "Hahahahaha!" anime chick laugh which she kind of is I suppose, and this really special ed sounding creature that goes "Great!!!" Any now in Mor Dhona there's this lady from Kenosha Wisconson who says "Nooo-OOOO!" every minute or so, and this other guy who's "Get outta here!"

If they ever offer Retainer Assassination ventures, my retainer is coming after those guys first.
