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

I suppose one good thing about the shuffling of the music team means we won't see anymore "X SONG SOUNDS LIKE IT'S FROM FF___" youtube comments. Thank god for that.

thats the funny part, I liked that, I would hear a song, and of course it was not from another FF game, but it had that hint of it in there, and made me smile.

I just don't think anyone would REALLY be upset if Mizuta just rearranged, remixed, or revised any of the current tracks. He's been putting out some quality pieces and remixed pieces that Nobuo originally written so far.

Plus, the recording quality is terrible for some of the original tracks and the volume levels are way off. This isn't the case with any of Mizuta's pieces. Only older track I can think of that is perfect in quality is Cohertas. Twilight over Thanalan could use some time in the mixing room to improve it's quality of sound, but that track is pretty great as it is. Might still be out of place though for the zone it's in, but it's a great track nevertheless.

This speaks many thruths. Nobuo is amazing and whe the current tracks are criticized many go berserk with fan rage. In your fandom please open the ost credits page. (yes the one that looks like it should have apple pie inside it)

All the tracks were COMPOSED by Uematsu but all the tracks were ARRANGED by miscallenous group of unknown talentless wannabe guitarists. Nobody probably thinks there's anything wrong with the melodies but they're drowned out by too many instruments and just plain bad guitar sounds that sound like they're all midi samples.

I Love the musics of the game now !!! I mean the music changes !!!!! In a lot of MMORPG, the music is either songs you don't even remenber or spot or always the same !! Here we have great musics et they are realy diverse (leves for example). I mean : Do you remember FF 11 ? Althought, it was great, compare the goodness and the diversity of th e msuic ate the same age lol
Only Aion beats FF 14 in the music department of MMORPG i think
The really few new pieces of music are good too but the unused song are really great so good incoming !!!

FFXI beats both in my opinion and has ever since CoP (since that adds the greatest majority of the tracks that I just love), WotG is just icing on the cake.

Though I will admit the game didn't get my favorite track until WotG (I'm actually San d'Orian so I feel a bit shameful that this is my fav)

Sorry for the necro bump but..

Was checking out alot of the tracks added since patch 1.18 or so and I have to say the music is absolutely incredible. I just wish the new stuff was used MORE! Theres some tracks I have heard in -one- cutscene and haven't heard it again. Then I go on youtube to find it and its a 6 minute long stroke of genius!

The music that has been added to the game in recent times is absolutely wonderful. It's the perfect blend of new and nostalgic FF throwbacks.

If I were to pick a track to be redone, it would be the Uldah city music. That and the market ward music reminds me of being set on hold on a phone call. I can't stand it, but unfortunately since the game mostly revolves around parking yourself there for long spans I've had the entire game's music muted permanently. So sad.

Uldah city music.

Agreed, I can't stand the market wards music.

If any song in this game needs to go it's the damn Ul'dah theme. It drives me bonkers.

I actually put together a music pack using tracks that are just sitting around in the data files plus the new tracks/npc themes.

Most of the music used in the pack is new and my LS seems to like what I did with them. The quality is much higher and the volume levels are a hell of a lot better. Some of the old tracks are nice, but they need to be enhanced or something in quality. You can tell the difference pretty quickly and it's off-putting to be in an area with a great quality recording of a track then zone and get a lesser quality track with weird volume levels. Makes you not want to listen to the music.

Anyway, the point is that people, including myself (I'm a person... kind of), respond better to the new tracks and will keep on the music when they are featured. From what I've gathered.
