I think its appropriate they play phase 1 music for the mount, plus part 1 is just better as mount music in general.
...Eden itself is the biggest FF8 reference in the entire raid, and the second biggest one in FFXIV besides Squall's outfit. It absolutely should play a signature FF8 theme. It'd be like the Air Force not playing Dancing Mad or Alte Roite not playing Neo Exdeath's theme (which was in fact the case originally until the changed it after fans complained). Alexander and Omega are different because the battle themes for both parts of both their fights are entirely original and could go either way for the mount music. Eden should flat out be playing The Extreme, no buts about it. Whether the music "sounds like mount music" has never been a deciding factor on what music a mount plays.
