    Am I the only one who..

    .. Misses the old FFXIV 1.0 music? Whenever I'm in Ul'dah I think back to the old theme and how it would feel like coming home.. Such nostalgia.. There's nothing wrong per se with the new music but.. I just miss the old..

    Like if you feel the same way!

    Strange. The music got bashed at his times too because, aside some exceptions, was uninspired and out of place. Now it seems was the best soundtrack ever. Meh...
    Using the Ul'dah music in fact, was one of the hated because it sounded like an elevetor jingle

    I agree the music in 1.0 was really nice and have a nice melody to it. I love visiting many zone in 1.0 due to the music.

    Since I associate the music with the game I hate the music with a passion. Just like good games can inspire nostalgia with their music I think 1.0 did the opposite for me and I hate all the music from 1.0 with the exception of garuda/king moogle themes.

    That is a rather illogical way of thinking. Video game designers and music composers are two different things. A lot of horrible games have great soundtracks. It'd be like hating Lalafells because they were in 1.0.

    It is not a way of thinking it is a feeling and it is certainly not the same thing. Do you ever get nostalgic when hearing music? I do, and for some reason when hearing 1.0 music rather than getting nostalgic and getting good feelings I get the opposite. The music in itself might be good, I might have liked it if I just listened to it without playing 1.0, but as is I associate it with 1.0 and it gives me bad feelings and as such I don't want to listen to that music. I am very happy they have changed most of the music.

    I think 2.0's music in some places really is more fitting.
    Yet some of the reused tracks from 1.0 are really really fitting in ARR, such as some boss music and the final job quest.

    What I really want is; Dual Layered Music Tracks

    [ Out of Combat Theme]
    [ In Combat Theme]

    In 1.0, dungeons for example did this where two tracks played in and or out of combat, which was nice for some areas. I dont believe in having it in every area though (dungeons/raids, yes).

    For areas, some of the tracks are too short, some are 'just right' as SOKENs team agreed on not having a constantly repeating track. For the most part, i'd think having it limited to 30-40 second music clips is kinda crap, then running in silence for the next 5-10 minutes.
