Old FF Music

[Rannie]

honestly but a lot of the music from final fantasy has been reused in previous games, just been changed slightly. atleast that's what i've notice. the only difference i've seen is like the lyrical music like one winged angel and eyes on me and such.

Everyone has different tastes in music, so it is difficult. I would like more symphony or chamber style music and more of a synthetic nintendo sound. Very much dislike the electric guitar and somewhat hard/popular style of music in game currently (relatively speaking).

edit: think old nintendo games and ff12 symphony. Magnificent

Every FF game since the first recycled some themes; main FF theme, chocobo theme, stuff like that is just changed a little bit but stays basically the same.
I'm fine with that, it kind of connects the different games together.
But I would never want that for boss music or stuff like that because every other FF game had their own themes and FFXIV needs them too.
Also, FFXIV already has some really great songs, like Garuda, inn rooms, the GC ones, etc.

They've already been kind of doing this.

I read somewhere Moogle's music was a remix from an earlier FF's moogle music, which was inspired by 'The Nightmare Before Christmas"s 'This is Halloween'.

The Moogle theme was introduced in FF5, which came out a year before The Nightmare Before Christmas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVs_exGHp8I

But yeah, reusing old themes could be nice as long as it wasn't a constant thing and they fit within the context of the content. For instance, if Gilgamesh decided to hop the void into Eorzea, then a remix of Clash On The Big Bridge would be great. Golden Saucer? Sure, maybe a (less obnoxious) mix of its theme that would fit with the rest of the game.

I sure as hell wouldn't want to hear One-Winged Angel just because they can.

Imp now when i think of gilgamesh i think of the bs that happens with Duodecim and him looking for bartz and failing.... >.<ci

Gonna be disappointed when you read Yoshida is already doing what the OP posted about basically lol.

I'm actually a bit concerned about what Yoshida has been doing, but he's also been doing it tastefully. Magitek armor works fine, because magitek exists in the game. The Crystal Tower and Xande were hinted at before, with that tomb in Mor Dhona. They've even given it some lore of it's own. The Golden Saucer, as much as I will loathe that name in this game, wouldn't be too absurd, since there's something similar in Ul'dah already, we just can't access it. As long as they manage to work it in like they did with jobs (barring BLM. Lol.) then I'm fine with it.

Ripping songs directly from other games (In their original format) is not something that would be a good addition to this game. It cheapens this game, and the games that the song was originally from. If it's something like the Mog, Chocobo, Gilgamesh theme, that's fine. Those make sense. If they have a similar melody to the Crystal Tower theme, that'd be fine too. I just don't need to here THE EXTREME when I'm in a dungeon. If I want to listen to FF music while grinding, I'll just listen to it outside of the game.

Do people really prefer a FF fan collection over a real new FF game?

I've got 2 acronyms for you who want to turn this into a superficial Disneyland mockery:
KH & FFD012D

"ChocobocolinaaaAaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!" Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）*brrr*

No one said they should be "ripping songs directly from other games". Remix the tracks to fit the game and it's good... exactly what they did with the Moogle theme and Chocobo theme already.

Those are actually arranges. The OP was asking for direct rips of songs in this game.

Imagine having a Chocobo 'radio' that would play a variation of one of the Chocobo themes from the other games? Likewise, having some NM battles break out the FFVII boss theme would be pretty epic. Having the Balamb's theme (town, not garden) as you fish in Limsa? Amazing.

YoshiP pretty much said this will be a fanservice game -- whether you like or hate that fact it's happening.
