FFXI flavor music for FFXIV

[Zantetsuken]

Mizuta doing the zone music for 2.0. Uematsu doing the battle music, and both doing the scenario music.
Shame Uematsu is no longer a composer for the game anymore, though.

Is this true? If so, that is fantastic news!

I stated in a later post that it was something that I would like to see happen. Not sure if that's the case. However, Mizuta is in the credits for this game.

San d'Oria's music drove me crazy and was probably one of the reasons i quit the game.( Next to deleveling, not being able to solo and being an unwanted class)

But as long as another track like that isnt in a major area that i am constantly in i'll be fine with it.

I think the music in FFXIV is great! The sound of rain along with the Thanalan will be one of the best memories I will have of the game ever. Starting in Ul'dah, and going out to that music... I really felt like I was about to start a great adventure ♥ Toto-Rak had such great unique music too!

I do agree some songs tend to sound a bit generic, but for the most part I have no complaints ♫

Three composers, all now listed in the game credits, have taken Nobuo's place since 1.18. Some of the new tracks are still Nobuo's, such as the Castrum Novum theme, as they were among the original 76 tracks he made but no place had been found to suit them previously.

So far the new work turned out has been pretty great, the RotZ co-composer doing some of our beastman music while Mizuta pulls out his own and some Hamauzu style building strings and great ambiance. Allegedly Good King Mog was Nobuo's composition, but I don't know where to check that.

On a side-note I wish they would add a few more tracks per major zone, following a similar theme but definitely distinct. Not separated by sub-area typically, but having more to do with what the character is and has been doing lately, maybe even slightly based on the weather, in a sort of fluid merging of each of the tracks.

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

It's Mizuta, but with improved soundfonts!

No that's the actual game music. Lists the file at the end of the comment.

Yep. Tahrongi Canyon had a great theme to it, all right.

Just listen to the epic score of Dangruf Wadi!

You could at least try not to come off as biased.

The problem aren't the pieces themselves, its the fact that they weren't made to cater the areas they are supposed to add depth to.

100% agree.

FFXI's music added so much flavor to the zones.
FFXIV's music is getting better though. Cid's theme is pretty awesome.
