Naoshi Mizuta for 5.0

[GMERC]

FFXI Soundtrack is something I've found to be pretty consistently overrated. Every time somebody tries to post "evidence" of how much better the OST in that game is than this one it usually just ends up ranging anywhere from "okay" to "mediocre", because in the end musical tastes are subjective. I don't see any reason to demote Soken just because "you liked FFXI a lot."

There are some 1.0 Uematsu songs I still really miss (especially all three city themes), but to pretend like Soken is bad or needs replacing is pretty silly.

Different composers have different ways of bringing the world to life I enjoy the other composers but I feel that the music in this game is too edgy and forgetful at times compared to FF11 and other works done by Mizuta, and his battle themes are just awesome. I remember most of his battle themes I don't remember most of the FF14 original battle themes.

I bet if you heard battle themes like this in XIV you would remember them even more lol.

edgy

Hey look ma, it's that word again! Please stop using the word edgy to just mean anything you personally don't like.

Exactly Heavenward is basically just a huge remix everything sounds the same lol. Its not bad just want something different

I know you're just exaggerating for effect, but you do know what a leitmotif is, right?

I understand that it's the main theme of heavenward and I love it, but I feel that artistically he should collab more often with other composers it would make each expansion sound a bit more different. If stormblood main theme is remixed once or twice its ok but we don't need 7 different remixes of the same theme. I respect his music and I love many of his themes but to me it just feels like forced remixes even the duelling music is a heavenward remix I mean seriously why? what does duelling have to do with heavenward.

Maybe I should have asked if you knew what a "remix" was, instead?
