I am Mana Hime from the Japanese server "Shinryu" in the ManaDC. I do translation for players events between JP and NA servers. That is to say that I help with organizing bard performance concerts. With performers from Japan and North America.

We are trying to connect both communities in our love for FF14 and music in general.
However there has been a point of contention between both communities, and I would like to ask about this from a purely official point of view.

In Japan it is very much a taboo to play non FF14 music as it is "technically against the rules." However there no such concern in NA and EU servers. We have been told many times that the GMs do not care about what songs are played. And I am wondering whether there has ever been a GM or administrator who stated this, or if it is simply assumed from bards not being banned after having played so much in big cities such as Limsa.

I do not wish to start a debate on this topic as I personally understand both opinion for or against this limitation. But I am curious is that has ever been an official response that reflected the general opinion of NA/EU players.

Thank you very much for your attention, I look forward to learning more about this topic.
