Gridania music.

[Andreas-Lycaeus]

I definitely had Zelda/Hobbit vibes at certain moments! When I first listened, I was wondering when a catchy tune would kick in, but I've actually had the video on many times already now JUST to listen to the music. I love it, and it really makes me feel at peace and at HOME! To me, that is a success, and it's just made me more proud to be a Gridanian and Twin Adder Officer.

To me, that is a success, and it's just made me more proud to be a Gridanian and Twin Adder Officer.

That's because Adders are the best, by far.

I do not understand why people get bored when they start to complain about this. Do you really think that old song Gridania is better than new?, I'm dedicating to present the pros and cons just ask them to close their eyes and just listen, just that and you will decide yourself. I think the new song has much more the spirit of the old Final Fantasy.

*Just listen the music dont look the video

It's so much better than the current song.



The old one just sounds like boring patcher music to me (mostly because it plays when you patch...snore!). The new one actually sounds like a town theme.

[Lirion]

Current one starts good and then becomes tiring pretty fast. The new one is more pleasant to listen to IMO.

[Darkschnaider]

If that's exactly what happens. The new song goes through several cycles so that is not repetitible, if you look at only four minutes and forty seconds of video is heard like three songs at various times completely changing Notice here:

* Above all, this last part is pretty good

[Warlock]

Sounds and feels nothing like a final fantasy. Too ambient and it has no feeling. This isn't a song ill ever be remembering in my head hours on end when I log out. What garbage

Someone that calls garbage something simply bcuz you don't like it can't be taken seriously...you have any idea how much ppl's work you are insulting by this? thankfully is only a very few group of deaf ppl complaining

I like the old music but i love the new one already so peaceful and goes so well with the type of city Gridania is ..quite folk-ish and i agree with some that have said it gives a hobbit shire vibe the more reason to love it!

[modokibunny]

I'm quite surprised with the tasteless replies via page 1. The composition used really blends in with the environmental surroundings and definitely brought more life to the revamped zone.

[deathstix]

I liked how the old Gridania music reflected on the rather peaceful nature of the city, it certainly gave me a sense of calm, away from the slightly busier Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa cities.

I guess it will take me sometime to get used to (and eventually like) the new Grid music after figuring out all its melodies, countermelodies, effects, chords, bla bla heh. But one thing about it annoys me.... those are some really fake French horns.... gahh. I think I've heard better french horn sound samples before (if you're into audio editing or are familiar with instruments you'd understand). This soundscape however does remind me of the music from FF XII.

[Teakwood]

The instrumentation and sampling really reminds me of FFXII, and I love it. I -love- the Hobbit-ish segue even more. Admittedly I also love the -current- BGM, especially when it shifts into the Humoresque progression (shouting out To Zanarkand?), but I've kept the new BGM running on loop a few times already just to listen to. Absolutely can't wait to hear more of the game's music, it's honestly one of the things I'm looking forward to the most, as silly as that sounds. (I just love new soundtracks! I've got the 1.xx soundtrack safely on my playlist, I DEMAND MOAR.)
