New Areas And Music Ideas

[Malakhim]

I'd like more temples too and that heavy feeling FFX had because the story was so intertwined with religion. They took a similar approach at it with Gridania's storyline and the elementals, but many NPCs talk about their gods, but there's really no sense of worshipping ;P

Being that the Garleans consider the primals to be false gods and should be eradicated, I wouldn't be surprised if the organized religion angle is hit on at some point or another once we finally get access to Garlemaid. It's quite possible that they operate much like Bevelle in that their entire campaign of conquest is tied to religious views.

Also geez I had no idea there were so many different named sub regions within each of the 4 missing main regions. Well there's more than enough music on the OST that has yet to be used, so we'll probably see them for those missing areas.

Make that around 50 xD the OST around 70 songs, and pretty good ones. We're waiting for them XD

For new areas I want a church with flowers inside :3
And an Opera house lol

Agree with the music, I actually came across the ones ripped from alpha or beta on youtube about a month ago, there is some fantastic stuff there. And the chocobo theme just makes me want one all the more >.<

To the OP: Definitely wanting a snowy zone as well. It would also be nice to get the current ones fully unlocked, there are lots of areas that just seem blocked off for the time being. The green towers in thanalan come to mind.

I'd really want Uematsu to arrange few of his own pieces from start to finish without a huge orchestra. Some of his melodies get lost in all the typical hollywood-isms that one can hear in any game. Elements like the skin flute on the fields of LL are where his melodies really shine.

I still like his PSOne era music the most because the limitations of the hardware brought out the best in his tunes.

The moon! I wanna go to the moon!

I hope Uematsu writes the music for the expansions. Although Mizuta would be good, too.

I would totally cream myself if SE manage to win back Yasunori Mitsuda, though.

i am a big Uematsu fan, i collect FF OST but i am somewhat disappointed with many of the tracks in FFXIV...
Some lack charm and some are annoying.

I get the feeling from listening to the music that Uematsu was asked to write a ton of tracks, and write them quickly.

One thing about the music in XIV, he seemed to use a lot of odd time signatures, so some songs have awkward beats.

[Seif]

Lo-fi beats can I have it? Uematsu probably has synthed versions of these songs before they were re-arranged by the 4 people who did the arrangements. I'd love to have the option to switch audio track to those raw versions. =)

I am in favor of new areas!

... But please... No more music... This crap is awful enough to listen to as is...

That's funny, I could have sworn there was a slider so you could turn the BGM off...

Oh I have it off. Would be nice if there was good in-game music to listen to tho, instead of running media player in the background.
