Music

[Xatsh]

I am surprise so few people complain about the bgm / music.

There is no soul on all the tracks. Boring. I highly believe many one agree and, just like me, turn off all music while playing the game. What a shame SE.

Please, for god sake, overhaul all music currently in ff14. Not necessary FF11 style(I do prefer though) but they all do need change. This is not the moment to save face, or think about saving budget. The music is seriously need change for FF14 to have chance to success..

Please..

So few complain because for many it is one of the best parts of the game. It is not typical MMO BGM, but it sounds much more like a traditional final fantasy honestly.

It has the typical FF flare to it, made by the man who is world famous for video game music composition and known as the man behind the sound of Final Fantasy.

As for the SE being cheap with music... they probably spent more money on Nobou writing the whole 74ish song OST then most game spend on music for the release and multiple expansions.

I love Nobuo Uematsu old time work in the low bit era, I did have high expectation. well.

Not saying SE being cheap on making the music we currently have. I just want them putting resources to rework on it.. maybe I am just minority. sigh

Doesnt need reworking, they just need to add more themes/use different ones for various situations.

Also as far as music fitting things, go check out Ys 1&2 PSP or Romancing SaGa PS2. All kinds of great battle and environment themes with a wide range of genres, but no really high tech areas. For instance, this is the sewer theme:

(Kenji Ito is awesome though, and i'm hoping he does some tracks for 14 expansions in the future)

Darm's tower from Ys:

(Same with Yuzo Koshiro, but he usually doesnt do Square Enix titles)

I do agree that the music should change depending on what section of the huge zones you are in. The reason why the same overworld theme worked over and over in offline RPGs is that overworld travel was fairly fast. With huge fields such as in FF14, different sections need either remixed versions of the normal field theme, or just something totally different that fades in when you get near that area.

Also i'd appreciate it if you RPG music fans could chime in hear:
