can you please het rid of the stupid generic dungeon and battle theme

[YuriRamona]

I think it does. They've already said that they're not going to change it so I turn it off in dungeons where I don't want to hear it. In the dungeons that I do love the themes, I end up turning it up. (=^.^=)b

But that's my solution! (=^.^=)b

Yea, we pay a subscription and post in the official forums because we just lie down and take it, right?

This isn't a F2P game, where players pay for implemented content and existing benefits, we are subscribers that pay into the promise of future improvements.

It's our right and responsibility to demand that the developers improve the quality of gameplay.

It's a trivial fix to have the dungeon themes play outside of combat during the dungeon, or to shuffle multiple dungeon themes together to extend their short playtime.

There are many positive changes that are possible, SE just doesn't want to do them. And we can make them change their minds.

the ability to disable battle music would be the best QoL ever

...Technically...... -- you pay for the right to access and use the service first and foremost.

A bit too entitled, aren't we?

Like Tupsi said, you are paying to access a service and nothing else.

So much hate for this game's music.

I like the music. The only time I mute the game is if I'm alt+tabbing to watch a video of some kind.

Not sure if I am missing something but Pandora. I can't always take the repeat sounds/music from crafting and most dungeons. Primals are the only spot I turn the sound back on. I have a few play list I like depending on content I am on and if I can't decide on a playlist, off to Pandora and problem solved. I love it and it lets me choice what I want to listen to in game. On another note about music having start at FF1 when the game came to the US, the music is the same in every game more or less. That is kind of a trade mark of the this game series. I generally like it.

And here we know why subscriptions are dying. Because people like you don't actually demand or get what they want from what they pay for.

If we want to attract more people to this game, while simultaneously making our own experience better, then we should be demanding for improvements to the game.

Why would other people want to commit to subscribing to this game if we're treated no better than F2P players by their games' developers? What's the true value in subscribing to this game if we don't at least get a higher standard of support, feedback, and receptiveness from developers?

The same logic you applied could be said of almost any product, good, or service that you buy. Returns, repairs, complaints, updates, and support are rarely included in the transaction.

And yet, we all still expect a certain standard of quality and the requisite benefits to us as consumers of that product, which is why many of these benefits are now written in to many company's purchase policies - there's simply an incredible demand for above-and-beyond service.

Why can't it be the same for FFXIV? Are we not justified in being upset when SE says they don't want to implement a simple QoL improvement because they're too lazy?

And here we know why subscriptions are dying. Because people like you don't get everything they demand from the devs even if it would be bad for the game.

Fixed that for ya.

You are getting what you paid for, a full service access, it doesn't mean they have to bend to your will just because you are paying for the service. They use player feedback as a guidance, but they don't blindly follow feedback (or demands).

Ever heard the phrase "get off your high horse"?

the themes get old fast which is why i shut of the music when im doing dungeons and i just let my stream play what ever i feel like listening to while grinding the dungeon
