Petition: Magitek Armor Tune

[RyuRoots]

The best part of this:



Is just how many EXACT SAME SONGS (and a handful of remixes) they copy pasted from previous Final Fantasies for their "FFXIV-specific" version of them:

Labyrinth of the Ancients
Syrcus Tower
World of Darkness
Battle on the Big Bridge
Battle in the Big Keep
The Dragon's Neck
Lightning event FATEs
The Gold Saucer
Chocobo Racing
Triple Triad

The kicker of course being that they already made the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8RuIXX4ntc

What's really hilarious about this stupid, paper-thin excuse (uhhh it's FFXIV-specific...) to me is this: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...rramagitek.jpg

Look at that. Yeah, STAGGERING amount of difference from the one seen in FFXIV, they're hardly the same machine at all!

Except when you think about it (which I've been doing since my earlier post), it does actually make sense - Terra's Theme is a main character's theme (as well as the world map music for FFVI), and thus really issynonymous with FFVI. You hear Terra's Theme and you think of Terra and the FF title she appears in.

If it was used hypothetically as the magitek armour theme in ARR, players would be feeling the wrong 'mood' or idea that SE wish to convey - not mount music for the player's recondition magitek reaper they 'liberated' from Castrum Centri/the Praetorium, but the main character of FFVI, a completely different game.

Thus as FFXIV has no direct connection with any other FF game, this is a legitimate decision to make 'FFXIV stand on it's own' for once. Having said that, another FFVI track such as Devil's Lab or Gesthal Empire might be more appropriate for mount BGM for the magitek armour, something that is more synonymous with the magitek armour itself and not a character.

i am glad but now i wonder will it be terra's theme or devils lab


shamless bit of a plug, i always playthe remix of devils lab i have done here http://draco-ixtar-the-lalafell.tumb...-quite-a-while

i find it far more enjoyable when a mount has it's iconic tune, goobbues and corurls having the tune they have fits, i wish ADS mount had the dungeon theme of Turn 1.
maybe the different Beast mounts could have a dominant instrument from there respective clan (you can hear the dominant instrument when accepting a quest.)

Yay! Awesome news! *Holds out hope it really will be Devil's Lab chosen as the mount theme, but Terra's Theme would be beautiful too.

Also Draco, lovely work on that remix!

Pretty happy this is finally getting added in. I just hope this continues and we see different BGM come with different mounts.

Victory!

And as far as other mounts go, I doubt it. Will likely still be the same theme that plays for non-chocobo mounts.

Edit: I want to dedicate this victory to all the people who said that this was not going to happen. To those who dedicated their energy to be the party poppers of this thread. I want also to dedicate a big hug to all the people who fought together to make this happen!
