What is something you want REMOVED from the game?

Would loooove for the song in Ultima Thule to be removed. I loathe the constant singing.

I mean, you can disable the background music already. I'm pretty sure it's the BGM (Background Music) option in the sound settings in the system configuration. There's a screenshot right here: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game_manual/config/

Oh rest assured, I usually turn off the music if I'm there for any length of time (/bgm 0 is nice and easy). With that said, I enjoy having background music while playing, but I feel like it was a bad decision to pick a song with full-blown lyrics to play on repeat in a zone. IMO, it should have played while the MSQ was still active, and then swapped to an instrumental version once completed.

I heard from a guy who heard from a guy that there's a plugin that'd let you swap its post-MSQ song back to the instrumental or muted instrumental versions of the song.

Also, no need for the 0 in "/bgm 0". Just typing "/bgm" will toggle its mute setting.

oooo, snazzy! Hopefully SE steals that one for whatever changes they were looking into making.

And even better! The less I have to type, the better.

It's unlikely they'll include that among the absorbed plugin features, as they'd want to retain that art direction for each zone rather than leaving it to players to decide what music they want to put where.

The simpler fix for them is for the music to either just return to v2 (not muted, but no vocals) after completing the MSQ, rotate through all three versions (the last being the vocal version) after completing MSQ, or make the versions zone-specific (with v3 playing only in the parts after you'd have left behind where v2 played).

I created a /bgm macro to deal with city-states, cutscenes, and this zone.
