FFXI flavor music for FFXIV

[Ruisu]

Lol, I dunno man. Thanalan's a pretty theme and all, but it's... extremely out of place. The music that starts playing when you get out to like halatali and broken water is much more fitting. The music in the black shroud when you get a bit away from gridania is pretty good too, and so is the coerthas music.

The instanced dungeon music is god awful, and so is the la noscea battle music.

Your opinion could not be more awful. The music way out in aetheral gate areas is pretty bad, excluding La Noscea's.

The dungeon theme is great, and the transitioning is easily one of the best things about it. La Noscea's battle theme is by far one of the best.

That's why they're called "OPINIONS"

Doesn't make it any less wrong.

Doesn't make it any less wrong.

And it doesn't make yours any more right nor does it make it fact. (Amazing isn't it??)

music placement really is kinda outta place. Limsa Lominsa Music is too grand constantly. Choco music is like HEY YOUR ON A CHOCOBO!!!! Freakin LOOK! CHOCOBO!

Just have to remember that music sets the tone , but with recent patches I'm sure they know already .

This thread is full of clashing opinions and nostalgia factor. Even the people trying to find logic behind the music are very opinionated.

Next we can move on to the La noscea theme.

the first instruments you hear from it are something you would predominately expect to hear if you were watching 2 people try to cross a desert. And even though its added to with a beautiful orchestra that crappy beat that starts off in the first half a second persists throughout the entirety of the piece. La noscea is predominately a bunch of wind blow cliffs by the sea, the main orchestra kind of represents that "sea" feeling but the fact that that beat is in the background throughout the entirety of the piece completely ruins the atmosphere of the area as a whole.

I just need to HEAVILY disagree on this one. As soon as the very first notes hit my first reaction is "Faris?". No, sincerely, the very FIRST time i've heard this theme my first reaction was going "Wait, they took this out of FFV's pirate cave!" and-
Perhaps it's my pink-stained glasses but I really do think that this music gives perfectly off the pirate feel, even if not exactly the plains feel.

Three songs have stood out to me so far as having that Naoshi Mizuta (and hence FFXI) feel:

I think it just the music FFXIV launched with that is giving the heartaches lol

I was always reminded of XI with the goobue theme...
