The direction of FFXIV's music.

[Starlord]

Are you guys all deaf? FFXIV has really good music, I don't know what you people are talking about. I suppose some of it is not befitting the theme (especially the electric guitar heavy songs) but I think the only valid criticism laid against FFXIV's soundtrack so far is that some of the themes need more variation. Other than that, I think you guys are overreacting. Just because FFXIV didn't receive critical claim, doesn't mean every little thing about it is bad, right down to the music. Because that's not true. Nobuo did a really good job on this soundtrack and I can't believe people don't even appreciate that.

"NOBUO HAS LOST IT. NEEDS MOAR DRUMS AND VIOLINS PLEASE!!111"

I mean, really?

FFXI had some really good music too, of course. But FFXIV is still one of the best soundtracks for an MMO and/or video game in general. Don't know what more you can possibly want.

Sorry, but someone has to be the voice of reason around here. This thread is depressing and insulting.

Music itself is awesome, its where they place the music at, in which it doesn't fit the scene. ( In some places)

Agreed. They're all pretty good, but they don't add flavor to the areas the way the music did in previous final fantasies.
