Jutebox Joy For All

Aaaaaaaaaand it's not what we wanted. It's neat, but it's not what we wanted.

Since the music comes straight from the orchestrion, distancing yourself from it will change how it sounds.

and paraphrased from the Live Letter:

We're considering adding a Speaker furnishing so you can create a Party Room.

We've been clamoring for a way to change the background music inside our houses, and instead it seems we're getting the ability to add music to a small portion of our houses. And (maybe), down the line, the ability to spend even more furnishing slots to extend the effect further.

Perhaps if we can use multiple Orchestrions in one house, we can have different music in different floors or rooms. That could be cool. Even if we can though, I shudder to think of the wasted item slots.

I'm pretty sure item slot will be the least of your worries though. However, if we do have the option to have multiple orchestrions (or some sort of extension speakers) playing in synchronization, I'm so gonna set up a 5.0 playing system in my house.

...or die trying.

I don't know if it was said anywhere before, sorry if so. If you have played FFXI like I did and cared about decorating your moghouse you might remember how the orchestrion worked there. You had it sitting there and you could quest your sheets, just like they describe it here. When getting a sheet you didn't get an actual item that's placed into your inventory. You would have gotten a key item that was listed in your key item list. Also the key items in XI weren't like the key items in XIV where you get an actual item placed in a seperated inventory. Key items were blue text lines in a list, no inventory stuffed. Therefore I am 100% convinced they'll handle it similarly in XIV. Converting this system to XIV I am sure it will look like the mounts, minions, fishing log, sightseeing log, etc.
