    I did a tally a while ago and it's pretty amazing the disparity between the Heavensward mount theme and other music. Out of 170 mounts, the ARR mount theme only plays for 20 of them, the Heavensward mount theme plays for a whopping 78 mounts. There really is no reason for it to have seen continued use past Heavensward, honestly. Stormblood "generic" mounts should have had their own Stormblood theme, perhaps something with an aquatic vibe to it since HW was the "flying mount" expac and SB was the "swimming mount" expac. Shadowbringers is doubly insulting because not only did they persist in using the HW flight theme for mounts, they actually already had a perfectly good unique ShB mount theme in place with the Amaro theme that they chose to only use for one mount.

    As much as I absolutely love the OST and all of its tracks, the devs have gotten a little lazy. They use the same songs for the same types of cutscenes patch after patch, mount after mount, etc. It gets tiring hearing the same music for 5+ years
