Can we talk about the Music?

[Shurrikhan]

It's good that music is a non-count word. Primals aside, a lot of these SB themes seem indistinct from each other. Is there one song with a few variations? A few songs? Hmm...

Honestly not that impressed by this expansion's musical suite, personally. But, glad you like it!

I feel like the "from a similar theme" went a bit too far this time. That or there just aren't enough tracks in total. The battle theme, the same regardless of region, has long, long since gone dry. Not a bad central theme by any means. I just wish there was more...

I'm quite aware. I just don't think it was pulled off as well as in Heavensward, which I even then felt was faintly over-repetitive, probably given that this one is actually a globe-trotting adventure (not that you'd be able to tell from the battle themes) yet has no more variance than the more self-insultaned Heavensward plot and locales. Heavensward also had some of my favorite tracks. I've yet to run into a Stormblood track that would end up in my top 10. Just a matter of preference.
