The direction of FFXIV's music.

Since you all speaking of music...the inn music...it makes me happy...I want to listen to it more...

I could totally have an awesome sleep to that..

This is one of the best examples of how to do the music right in FFXIV. Everything about it SCREAMS with subtle hints about your current location. The moment this plays I instantly know I'm underground, confined, and in trouble. Very reminiscent of Movtopolis. I pray we get away from this electric guitar crap and more of this.

^^^ Yep. More Violins and Drums.

Thanks Camate, that's really promising.

In any case, i think also some (few) areas should remain without music but only with ambient sounds (like LaTheine Plateau in FF11).

It's one the best tracks so far (Uematsu of course). Perfect for the INN.

Would it be possible for us to get a few teasers or hell full unnamed tracks of the coming 2.0 version music scores to give us something see what we've got to look forward too? I know the current music tracks that've been included in each patch are new and I like them.

It seems like the entire soundtrack for FFXIV will just revolve around the below song:

Just make sure we in the EU aren't screwed-over like we were with the recent FFXI soundtrack when we weren't allowed to buy it because SE didn't release it in Europe.

[Aminore]

this game needs zone themes that can bring a tear to your eye like Tavnazian Archipelago. that song along makes me miss FFXI

[Vaer]

Personally, I think the boss battle theme is insanity.

[Munba]

And another thing, the field/area tracks should be very long (for example the Coerthas track now is nice but too short imo), with some variations in the same tracks (the perfect example is the Gobbue music with more variations in it).

It seems like the entire soundtrack for FFXIV will just revolve around the below song:

I personally like this new direction.

Ok, ok, joking aside I did check with Yoshi-P and the sound team about the future direction of FFXIV's music. They will be blending the old tracks with new ones to create the soundtrack for version 2.0.

Additionally, in regards to day-time/night-time music transitions, they told me that they were working on variety of different plans and considering a couple things for the BGM which would focus on interactivity.

Hope you are as excited to hear some fresh beats as I am

Hi Camate & Yoshida-san,

This is great news!

I'm definitely excited to hear new Final Fantasy music tracks for 2.0, including variations based on interactivity (whether it's based on Time of Day, or Weather, etc.)... it should be nice.

Also I hope we get more tunes like the Goobbue Mount Music (which is so reminiscent of Chrono Cross, and evokes a nostalgic "Square RPG" feeling

A track like "The Day The World Revived" from Chrono Trigger might be nice for some rooms in the Crystal Tower in 2.0.
