Please change the music!!

Yes thats what it boils down to, but im sure at least 70% of players would agree the music in ff14 is a pile of chocobo poo.

Disagree. I enjoy it a lot, listen to it on my Ipod along with my other music. I do, though, have to say some of the music to me doesn't match the world. Like the heavy electric overtone music and there isn't that much super tech all over the game yet. Yes Garlean has the tech that would make the music fit... but not enough Imperial in the game for me yet, but to say the music was badly made I disagree with. Uematsu was told what the premise of each area would be and he wrote to it... sadly, in my opinion, some of the things he was probably told wasn't implemented to compliment his music, therefore making it out of place.

The other night my fiancee and I were in the same room, each playing games on our PC's. I was playing FFXIV and she was playing Civ V with the music LOUD. I was almost ready to ask her to turn it down when I noticed that the soundtrack in Civ blended marvelously with FFXIV!

Seriously considering buying the soundtrack and playing that in the background while running around Eorza from now on ^^

How about bring back mizuta to do the rest of the tracks? I like uematsu but mizuta had the real gems in ffxi...

Yeah.. actually mizuta > uematsu imo.

Ronfaure is Uematsu's. lol.

Of course Mizuta got better later on. His original songs were nothing really impressive.

Whoops, you're right. Another track to make up for it then...

They all suffer from the same problem. They sound low-quality.

Not that I know much about the technical stuff, but the sounds give me a very low-budget vibe.

He wasn't also that good at making truly epic tracks. Promathia music was decent and ToAU's final battle music was so-so but the rest sound just too ordinary.

Just put Hitoshi Sakimoto in charge!

The songs scream out final fantasy, and he is a great composer! What? No one likes that idea? ok....

FFXII has fantastic field music and nice use of instruments, but I didn't find many of his battle music very appealing.

For battle tracks, whoever made TLR's OST could assist Uematsu:

Whaaa? Hitoshi sakimoto has amazing battle music man, check it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG_RA...eature=related Another Vagrant Story track
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_OsdjIdSpw Final Fantasy Tactics (and tthis game is full of awesome tracks)

I'm pretty sure Hitoshi could do awesome on battle themes (Even though it might not be your taste)

the problem with putting music in the background is that you then cant here much in game sound affects. Casting spells etc, pretty much cant here anything, and I do like to here the battle sounds affects when in battle, or in dungeons etc.
