    Battle music: I like almost all of it, though many of the tracks take too long to get going- the battle is over before you even get to the main melody when fighting stuff close to your level.
    Rivenroad, garuda, moogle fight are all awesome. Part 1 hamlet theme is well done but repetitive. part 2 theme is awesome.

    Shroud: I must be one of the few who liked the original music. the newer music doesn't sound like it fits in a dark forest.
    Thanalan: Don't like either of the tracks honestly, or the levequest music.
    La Noscea: Probably the best of the three. The levequest music is pretty good too.

    Dungeons: I like the raid dungeon music- I like the use of the dynamic music system and the non-battle portion has a nice oldschool vibe to it- However, I wish there were different themes for each dungeon instead of all of them using the same theme.

    I hope the ferry music is re-used somewhere.

    Chocobo music: As many have said it should just play once or twice and fade out. It would be be acceptable to keep going however if it was a bit more muted and not as loud/in your face.
    I personally loved the Ul'duh music. Grid was fitting, but... meh. I liked all the field tracks and leve themes, though Shroud's field theme was by far my favorite. Same with their respective battle themes, actually. I loved the bridge in both the Shroud and Thanalan fight tracks, on the rare occasions I got to hear them.

    Changes I'd like to have:
    - Don't always separate battle themes from field themes just from entering into a single fight. It feels like it cuts off to fast unless you're already pulling the next chain before the last mob's down.
    - As you said, more unique dungeon-themes while retaining or even going further with transitional dynamics
    - Additional options, partly coming back to my first point. ...Can't really hurt...

    Hm. Hm.

    I really liked the New Gridania music in the Alpha First Look video. It adds so much to the foresty atmosphere. The 1.0 Gridania theme sounded like it belonged in a cutscene.
