REQUEST: A Portable Orchestion Player

[Vanitas]

Have you considered using:
Your phone
Youtube
Any offline media player
Speakers connected to another device that could play the above?

Also, I recall Yoshi saying custom music was already hard to implement. What is stopping you from using anything from this list?

Not everyone has half the means you described (console players with no PC such as myself I know it's easy for pcmasterracers to forget we exist but I digress) and believe me when I say it's not as enjoyable to play it of your phone or even with speakers/headphones as it is when its coming from the same monitor. Some people would just like that option. But yeah I stated before it took them years to give us the option to turn off battle music so I agree this would probably be very difficult for them to add.

Considering how they can't even get an orchaestrion to play music as the BGM in a house I don't think they can manage making it portable.

I am very sorry, I don't understand. Is it not background music if it's playing in the background? :0
You open the orchestrion, double click the song, press yes, exit menu, and poof! BGM?
I don't understand coding and things so maybe I'm wrong :<

It's Final Fantasy, it would have to be something charming, cute or beautiful. Something like a Bard who plays music, our toons would stop to open a locket or music box. Or possibly something we teach a pet to do. If our pets learned to play music and that little swirl of notes like is around the moogle weapons and songbird emote, and a preset song on a pets collar/locket could play maybe? Who knows, maybe if we collect a certain amount of pets they can dawn little instruments and play a preset song as like an emote with them gathered like a little band...you would have to set up the ones you would wish to play in the band and the song you wanted them to play from the music thing back at your Inn/home/FC room...and our toons would wave around a stick before them like a conductor. What do you think?

EDIT: Or following you around in a line like these cats in the video? https://youtu.be/lAIGb1lfpBw

Please, please, please stop using that word.

That's way too intricate, over the top and unneccessary. Plus it's way too much effort for the devs so you can exclude it before even thinking about it.

I'm not sure why it would grieve you?

My idea was just something to unlock a perk like learning to fly on each new map. But less tedious.

If by pets you mean minions then imagine all the work they'd have to do to add animations to every single minion in a style that would make sense to each minion. THAT is a lot of work.

It's just an idea, but the devs are creative artists, I'm sure they could work something out to our liking should the OP's project be undertaken.

I'm probably the most poor player you'll ever talk to, it's manageable. Not if you buy it all at once, but over time. The cost of a PS4+XIV+Shadowbringers if preordered could cover the cost of a PC that runs XIV on medium settings.

Thanks, now I want an army of cats playing music at my request....

Make it available only with the 4 seater car mount and let other players nearby hear your music. I'm joking but it would be a hilarious joke patch.

And give it an emote where the front end bounces up and down!
