Gridania music.

Did FFVII's music give you the same feel as FF1? Or XII give you the same feeling as XI? I don't get it.

Well, considering FFXII is as people call it "FFXI Offline" it did give the same feeling given the environment. However if you listen to a lot of FF music including XI's or even current XIV's even though they are placed in awkward locations, it feels much more "Final Fantasy" in 1.0 than the ARR sample. The ARR song sounds like the type of music you'd find in some of the mass-produced F2P MMOs out there.

It's not bad, but it's uninspired compared to what they previously have done with music in both of their FF MMOs. There's just a certain ring to FF music and a certain ring to general MMO music, few exceptions like RO, Rusty Hearts, Lineage II and PSO/2, but when you really listen to the music..it doesn't really seem like the style you'd expect. However, SE did say they're making this an MMO people will feel right at home from other MMOs.

I have a strong feeling that when they made that comment, the music of ARR was not taken into consideration. Some of the titles of the FF franchise did give the same feeling on their tracks, but I guess it's going to be difficult for people to accept some new stuff if Final Fantasy is not plastered over it.

Sidenote, PSO definitely has amazing music.
