More prominent Open World Music in Heavensward?

[Deifact]

I'd like this too. Every FF game I've played there have been tracks that I love and will quickly become one of my most listened to tracks. Even FFXIII had some awesome music! But FFXIV not so much, if you asked me to hum a song from a certain area I wouldn't be able to(edit: actually I could, but ironically it'd be one of the tracks which is a remix from a previous FF title :P ), yet I could probably hum most songs from FFXI.

My main issue with arr's open world soundtrack is that it's mostly forgettable to me. They just don't hook me as much xi's sound track does. I think I only played about 3+ years of xi which got divided in two. 1 year starting from NA launch, and the rest before xiv 1.0 happened. During those gap years I already have those songs in xi stuck in my head and I can hum those tunes from memory and identify most songs i've heard before when it's played to me. Then there's arr..I can't pull any open world song from my head at all and I can barely identify which tune is which tune save for a handful. Hell, as I'm typing this, a song popped into my head and it's the song for la noscea from 1.0 and that's not soken's..

Right now, I'm trying to hum the city and housing themes (was there not 10 mins ago) and I can only remember uldah's. I've been playing arr since launch non stop! And I remember bastok, windurst, sandoria and my mog house tune more! What the hell?!

Twlight over Thanalan was my favorite from 1.0. It really imbued the sense you where starting your adventure into a massive new world.

And then there was the hours and hours of pounding out Iron Visors to Navigator's Glory from Limsa.
