Petition: Magitek Armor Tune

[DracotheDragon]

2 things that confuse me about this is on the original trailer for FFXIV ARR with the magitek walkers the music in the background was a remix of ff6's theme of tera, so why wouldn't that remix be aloud, expeshally when thinking that songs such as fat chocobo battle on the big bridge "battle theme 1.x" (which is a remix of ff2's battle theme) and even CT's music for scylia tower which is a remix of ff3, granted some songs are a staple in final fantasy tradition but others have been remixed JUST for one boss that is cameo'd, as well as this but you had lightning come though erozia and according to the ff13 timeline that would make sense BEFORE going to valhalla, instead she knew of ciaus and the chaos which means its AFTER ff13-2 which dosnt make much sense in both ff13 and ff14, not to mention the countless other references to other final fantasies, by name title or even flat out saying it.


so i ask why can't there be a song for this mount which IN ITSELF is a reference to ff6 a song which can be remixed and HAS been remixed,


sorry for long post but i am genuinely confused.

I can't understand most of SEs decisions these days..

Yoshida, not SE - Over on the XI side they're doing pretty much everything people asked for even if it came very late

That's different, Tera's theme is tied to her in FF6, the chocobo even if he's fat, is universal. The attachment to the series is not strictly stuck to one game.

Except Tina's theme is actually one of the main themes to FFVI, not specifically tied to her. Also, Crystal Tower only existed in Final Fantasy III, thus not universal, thus defeats the logic that they won't do something "specific to x."

Square Why Tease us like this and then tell us no you can't do it?

I firmly stand against this choice by the lore team. There have been others here that have spoken up various reasons and brought examples up (CT, FF2 battle music remix, Gilgamesh among others) of music, locations and items from previous games.

Magitek Reaper and Terra's theme are an iconic piece of nostalgia that connects players with not only emotional depth but with that sense of pride and dedication.

So, as someone else has mentioned and asked,

Why not do this for us, the fans? 430+ posts. Thousands of views. Tons of thumbs up agreeing with the suggestion of a small, simple change.

Please, do this for the fans.

FFXIV-specific, is it? The Magitek mount is a blatant nod to the iconic Magitek Armor that we first glimpsed Terra, Biggs, and Wedge driving through the Narshe snowfields in the opening credits of FFVI. That it be relegated to the same non-chocobo music as every other mount in FFXIV is to do SE's nostalgic fans a great disservice. Come on, do it #ForTheFans

Greetings,

I know that this has been a very long and ongoing request to add. We checked in with the Lore team about the possibility of adding Terra’s theme as the background music for the Magitek armour mount, but as this is a suit of FFXIV-specific Magitek armor, they do not have any plans to use that song.

Lame excuse is lame! Break the rules! Think outside the box! Yay non-conformist! Etc!
Just give us the damn music >: O

Yeah that's exactly what I was getting at. We aren't saying it had to be the exact Terra's Theme from FFVI. But they are the ones who used a remixed version when advertising FFXIV, Magitek and all the like, then they refuse to use the already made and already used remix in conjunction with the actual game, even after already doing so!

Baffling.

The dev team has used similar blanket excuses for things in the past (not wanting you to repair on non-DOH classes because it wouldn't make sense for a Bard to repair a tunic and lo and behold, we can now do it) so just keep in mind these irritating excuses are not necessarily the final answer. It's no less frustrating because it's a completely weak-winded excuse, but if we keep asking for it, they may yet change their minds.

Sorry, Camate I know you're just the messenger, but the whole "can't use it because it's not FFXIV specific" is blatant hand waving. Someone already said it: Crystal Tower used to be a FFIII specific dungeon. Yet you're using FFIII music in it in FFXIV. You could argue that Crystal Tower was retuned for Eorzean lore (Allagans) and thus allowed the music, but you've actually done that with the Magitek too (Garlean technology). Sorry.

Now if it was because of legal issues (licensing perhaps) then that'd be different. Those laws are not fun and there are tons of rules. Not sure I'd believe it outright since Terra's theme is in Theatrhythm, but it's better than selectively choosing which rules you want to follow on a whim.

That has to be the weirdest reason for not adding something, that I've heard yet. And they've had some weird reasons for not adding/changing stuff...

[PixelPirate]

Just wanna add my own boo and a hiss. I'm sorry but one, it looks exactly like the VI concept art. Two, it should have it's own tune anyway. Are we technically dealing with a FFXIV magitek? Yes, technically. However, the magitek is iconic for VI. That's like saying "These chocobos are 'unique' to FFXIV and so that's why we gave it the same music as the Coeurl mount..."
