Other MMOs that you think ARE ACTUALLY BETTER?

It also brought lawsuits threats from JASRAC because people didn't compose their own songs, they just pirated a MIDI and transcribed it to MML with a tool. Hence you will not see anything in FFXIV for it.

Did anything ever come of the threats? I wasn't able to find anything in a quick search, and I am not familiar with Mabinogi's history.

Archeage also uses MML coding, and you can transcribe songs using a midi as a base. I've not heard of any lawsuits or threats in that realm. I would 100% take an MML system over what we currently have. With MMLs, the songs actually sound decent, you can do chords, you can adjust the volume and length for each individual note, you can change octaves easily, you can create multi-part songs to play with your friends (which is a ton of fun!), and a big thing is that it brings the music fun to people who are not necessarily musically inclined.
