Do you (we) want music ala FFXI?

it just sounds off.. sorry it is just a personal taste... and those other links well those songs sound "classic"

Thats why there are several battle themes. So it doesnt get old. Battle themes depend on the content you're playing and the region you're in

Opinion are like assholes, everyone has one and alot of them stink. Especially the "blasphemous" bit. I mean, considering the composer of this game and a great many in the franchise has his own FF-branded HEAVY ROCK BAND, it's anything but.

[Darkhaund]

I guess you are right... and for me most of the music of this game is not that good.

[Seif]

Great melodies bad baaaad arrangements that drown those melodies.

Also LL music is just too damn loud and epic considering the player should be able to hang out there in low-key quests and duties for long periods of time. It's a great track in every way except as a town music.

Uldah's elevator track is much more fitting in mood but that track needs the arrangement to aknowledge it's location in the game. In other words the top-gun effects don't sound like they belong to a town located in the desert.

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

You hit the Nail (of the heavens)!

it's a matter of - personal taste. A lot of people love XIV's OST. A lot of people hate. A lot of people love XI's OST. A lot of people hate. A lot of people love <insert game here OST>. A lot of people hate <insert same game here OST>. It's one thing that, quite honestly, can't please everyone. It's well within your rights to not like it, and even voice that opnion.

The problem at hand is that we have a SHITTON of these threads that just clutter up the forums and always end the same way, with people who like and hate the songs arguing and posting classic tunes with guitar riffs in it / favourite FFXI songs. Trust me, we had one of those one week ago.

Yeah like i said.. not starting to start a war here just giving out an opinion, that is all

Not to mention the miqote (go figure) that posted a clearly-not-FF-related thread about a random youtube singer (that wasnt even talented) and getting all buttmad when she got told to stop crapping up the forum.

I thought FF11's battle music was garbage until CoP came out, then it started getting good.

I almost universally enjoy the music in 14. The only battle music I don't really like in 14 is Thanalan, and really the only thing I don't like about it is the way it starts. I thought it was cool how the battle music has little bits and pieces from the main field music for the region (although its hard to tell that now in areas that got new music).

I wouldnt mind a few samples of ARR music especially that music for the shroud in the gamescom and live letter footage.
Thought I heard a new battle theme as well when they were showing conjurer fighting a few things.

Sure hope to be playing beta by christmas at the latest since doesnt seem alpha wont even begin until post Nov 11th.
