Old 1.0 music and dungeon/zones music

[Rukkirii]

Hello everyone!

I wanted to pass along what Soken's responses were to some of the questions that were brought up in this thread.

Will the music in version 1.0 be completely removed?

More than likely you will be able to hear it somewhere.

Will we see the return of dungeons and/or open areas without music? (Just ambiance.)

We basically set it up so that music is not playing all the time and in every location in ARR, so there will be dungeons and areas without music.

There are many occasions where we will play a bit of ominous music at the entrance, and then it will change to just ambient sounds. During battle the music will play, but this is a feature of Alpha and will most likely change in the future. There are of course times that content-type dungeons will have music playing the whole time.

Can you toggle the chocobo/goobbue music on and off?

In Alpha, after the riding music loops about 1 and a half times, it will no longer continue to play. We are planning to have a toggle option at launch as well!

Also, for mounts, though it will be after the launch, we are thinking of a variety of gimmicks, so look forward to it!

I feel special now lol. One of my threads and questions got answered by a dev \o/.

But not so happy to hear about the return of zones without music. Never understood that part but at least it got answered.

Thanks for the info, Rukkirii. I really like the direction they're heading in with sound/music in ARR. And Soken is just amazing. I love the stuff he's composed so far.

I have a feeling they're really going to create some magic in terms of environment and ambiance in 2.0.
