    Don't get me wrong, I love Uematsu. But I don't think he put his heart into this soundtrack, save for a handful of songs. It feels to me like he was given a short amount of time to make a lot of music, with only a few small guidelines to work with. Most songs are repetitive, and really lack that special unique memorable melody that Uematsu's famous for.

    To sum up my opinion: Despite the repetitiveness of songs in previous Final Fantasies, I could listen to them forever without growing tired of it, even in FFXI. However, I can not say the same for FFXIV's OST.

    And it bugs me that some people here are so blindingly faithful to Uematsu's work.

    I really hope that a revamped OST is being considered for 2.0.

    In the meantime though, allowing us to access the music files and play switch-a-roo would be awesome.

    Already can, it just takes much more work to do than with FFXI.

    I think he did pretty well considering what he had to work with... Not to mention there are many tracks that are unused still. -_-
