Shift in music quality? Redo the old, crappy tracks?

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

There was a re-edition of the Twilight of Thanalan music. Maybe the music is present during story-based missions and such?

Non guitar versions to add variety please. I don't have anything against guitars but the riffs heard in XIV just sound tinny and cheap.

[Arcell]

I like a lot of the original tracks so no. New areas and content will have new music. Why re-do the old ones? They're perfectly fine.

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

I generally prefer epic orchestral/symphonic music in an MMO. The punk guitar stuff just feels like ... sega genesis. Very outdated.

I want to feel like I'm in an epic fantasy realm, not the last stage of sonic the hedgehog.

Think Lord of the Rings type music, that's what I'd like to hear more of.

I would reply to this thread, but I'm too busy listening to Nail of the Heavens

[Scherwiz]

No. Thank. You.

The old music is fine and has it's place, the new music is amazing as well and I hope they continue to add new tracks.

The highlights of 1.20 musically haven't even been fully revealed in game yet or haven't been heard yet by many players.

Good King Mog (Most people know this song.
This plays during a new Grand Company Mission Cutscene.
Possibly new years music?

I do hope new music continues to be a trend but I'd rather them not "Replace" old music. We will hear new music in new areas and new situations, if your that enraged by the old music that's when you replace it with other music .dats (If your on the PC of course)

I will quit game if they change the themes of Thanalan, La Noscea, or Coerthas.

The Old Music is great, It just doesn't suit some areas due to Nobuo only having the Concept Art to create the piece.
The New Music is also great, I like them and suits better, because they now know the Background of the game.

In my Opinion, I want The Current Team, with maybe some additions of other Composers. (Great Composers ofc, we don't want bad music in this game!)

Some of the Music Composers that I really like(The Music)
-Yoko Shimomura
-Motoi Sakuraba
-Yuki Kajiura

Nobuo Uematsu and Masayoshi Soken Included Although I've only heard some of Soken's Music.

On the side note, has everyone heard the other 1.20 Music? The New Track #2
It's another awesome theme for the Garlean Empire, played in the GC quests.

Shposhae also has an "Awesome" Battle Theme, It's too bad since I think not many people has ever went in here and listened to this music: [Shposhae Battle Theme]

Don't forget other FFXIV themes too! there may be bad ones, but there's also awesome ones! (IMO, every track is really great and awesome!)

I like the music that this game has, so I don't really want anything to be redone. I just don't like listening to the same 10 or 15 seconds of the same song over and over again when I solo grind for exp. It's gotten to a point for me that I just turn on my laptop and run my playlists in iTunes. If it were possible, maybe they could have the music alternate between 2 or 3 different battle themes? That way, I wouldn't go crazy listening to the same thing for every mob. If not, then oh well. I'll just listen to my own music. :P
