New Ifrit music...

[Fumijj_Gah]

The only hope is they will throw Soken and call back Uematsu and Mizuta: Soken has no idea about making music for FF saga, we need more japanese style with minimal sounds and flute, less epic/orchestral.

I am not talking about Ifrit theme, but generally. Soken also ruined the original Over Windy Meadows that actually was the new Ronfaure.
Soken doesn't belong to the saga, it's totally a different style even if his music is not bad, it's not the feeling we had before.

Coil music is a remix of Answer, the amazing main theme Uematsu made time ago. But yes, Coil music is good. Not only Coil, I also enjoy Ul'dah at night. Soken makes for sure good tracks, but still too far away from FF saga style.

i think FFXIV:ARR has its own identity (sonically), there's no reason it should sound like past games when there are references to past FF games everywhere in-game

Hmm, since Soken made almost everything in ARR, it's a nice point: but everytime I turn off BGM in game and run FFXIV 1.0 playlist on iTunes, I do feel the difference.
But it's mainly because I was too close to the whole saga for years and Uematsu or Mizuta sounds remind me of the good old time.

Exist there another version of Over Windy Meadows from Soken?

Yep, this one.
And even if it's ruined I must say it's one of the best ARR tracks imho, mainly because made by Uematsu.

It's not even a re-mix. It is a complete different song.

I think the right word here would be more replaced than ruined.
