New Limsa Lominsa BGM

[leomike35]

I'll say right now that I'm biased. I think Navigator's Glory is a brilliant song and perfectly captures exactly what Limsa is about. The sound of the armourers and Blacksmith guild in the back, the horns, the perfect drumlines. Brass. Brass everywhere. It marches and fills your soul with pride at being a Lominsan. This song could fill your sails on a windless day.

The new song is just so... flowery. The lone violin is too soft to be front and center in the song, and you lose the hard-working undertone of the city. There's this air of mystery to the whole song that I find doesn't fit. Limsa doesn't have mystery, Limsa has a kickass leader who'll catch the axe you throw at her face and throw it right back at you.

I'm sure I'll eventually like the song, and I get the feeling that the song will be much better in the context of the city, but still.... Navigator's Glory stands on its own.

Then again, I lived in Limsa for two years, so maybe that song's context has just imprinted itself on me.

Sadly I think 3:43 in the end of an era/new beginning vid is what became if your beloved Navigators glory.

This BGM makes me proud to be part of the Maelstom. -wipes prideful tears-

I really hope the chocobo theme is toned down a bit upon release. As it stands now, in 1.0 and ARR alpha it sounded a little too... Big-Band-ish. Like every time I got on a chocobo I was running a marathon or leading a parade. In FFXI, the chocobo song was a little more subtle, and made it seem more like I was venturing out on a focused journey - not coming home from punching a meteor back into space with my bare fists as a White Mage.

I know you're all anxious to hear more samples of music! While we won't be releasing too many, Soken and Yoshi-P mentioned that they would like to have release mixes of Ul'dah and Gridania to go along with the recently released Limsa mix to finish out the series.

We are looking into a variety of ways to introduce things, so if you have a request, please let us know!

Hey Camate, can I put in a request to ask for the new Coerthas theme(s) to be previewed, and possibly one for Ishgard as well (if it's even being considered for composition as of right now, which I'm sure it's not just yet)?

And a small follow up question to lead into:

Will the original Coerthas theme still be in the game, at least in some part, or has it been discarded for something new? (I pray to the twelve it hasn't been discarded!!1 It was my favorite theme in the game!)

I too would like to hear Coerthas' new theme, I love that zone! I think a lot of people must be concerned about what Thanalan is going to sound like, considering how popular Twilight Over was. It's great having new music, but as is apparent here, there will always be those who grew attached to the older themes and don't see the need for change. I personally welcome it, but there will definitely be some new atmospheres generated because of it. Lominsa now seems less militant and more upbeat, with a calmer coastal atmosphere. I think it works as a 'calm after the storm', after the citizens have recovered from Dalamud. I'm not opposed to either tracks. It will click with some and it will click with others. It just depends what direction they want to go with the atmosphere.

This is just in general to SE produced music, but I am really wondering how many gems they have in their database. I just came across this track:

and it's from the 'cancelled' game "Fortress". Thing is, that particular piece is amazing, but since the game will never be released, and as such, the music, it makes me wonder just how many other similarly amazing music SE has under wraps.

I would like a preview of the bgm for one of the new ARR exclusive areas

I want Navigators Glory back.... That's how I want my limsa to sound.
Don't get me wrong, the music is good but ... Navigators Glory = Limsa Lominsa...
