Do you (we) want music ala FFXI?

[Darkhaund]

I loved the way music was "presented" in FFXI.

I am sure MOST (and I am sad for the ones who not) enjoyed the music in FFXI.

For example, if you engaged a mob solo you had a certain type of battle music, but if you engaged a mob in the same zone but within a paty you had a different song. That was amazing. The pace and volume of the songs were right, unlike here in 14, where I CANT STAND the "AC/DC-esq" electrical guitar blashpehy of a music we get on fights. Not to mention that the music seems to be too far "away"

As it has been mentioned here multiple times, the music on the zones seem to be "out of place" Who likes the current music in zones?

Who misses the "medival" theme of Ronfaure? or the "nostalgic theme" of Sanctuary of Zitah?
Or the "upbeat lets go sell" theme of Bastok? Not to mention the AMAZING battle themes in CoP and WoTG.

I hope ARR recaptures that. Because for me the music plays A VERY important role in a game.

Also... I am confused. Who is finally doing the music in ARR? What people are involved? Uematsu, soken... who?

[Issachar]

Fairly sure Uematsu has no role in ARR.

Also, regarding"AC/DC-esque electrical guitar blashpemy of a music" (fixed your spelling): The composer of said music (Uematsu) is a known rock/metal fan and rock has had more than it's fair share in FF history (FF4 boss battle, FF5's Big Bridge, FF8 in many places, and so on). It's hardly blasphemous.

tl;dr you don't know what you're talking about.

What a refreshingly new thread. Is not like we don't have a lot of threads complaining about guitars already, and it's not like we don't already have several threads with people liking / hating the current battle themes. Come on, just dat swap the fricking XI music files already.

EDIT: And you're complaining about Nail of the Heavens?? I'm outta here!

[Darkhaund]

it is not about that, it is about giving out ideas that would be good ....
That theme, IMO is totally out of place from the game. it is a matter of personal taste
