Favorite FFXI Sound Track

[Seif]

Everyone of the outside of town tracks. They get special points for being in solo grind spots which means I've spent literally thousands of hours listening to them and I still religiously listen to those tracks out of my own free will during work. Just talking about them gets me all giddy. *puts on the Saruta Baruta track* I mean isn't this just the best thing ever?! Love it so so so much.

I like XIV field tracks too but they're just so "active" that I can't loop them over and over the same way. Not to mention that I have to because the fields are so huge.

I'm confused why I personally like the XI soundtrack more than XIV. Can someone explain why this is? lol

Zi'tah, Yuhtunga, Kazham, Movalpolos, Zvahl....
Is it because the themes fit? Because of the feeling of 'final fantasy' being evoked? I need answers.

(Oh, but I do have a soft spot for Mistbeard Cove--- pirates and jungles and caves for me I guess xD)

Typically music evokes emotions and those emotions can be good or bad depending on whether your experiences with them were good or bad. So if you had a good time in FFXI, you would love listening to certain soundtracks because it reminds you of how much fun you had in the game. In FFXIV you haven't really had enough time or have been given enough opportunity to build these memories.

P.S. I agree Mistbeard Cove is pretty cool and soundtrack is awesome for it.

This seems to be the general consensus among everyone who's ever been in Zi'Tah. :P

I LOVE that track. That and Rolanberry Fields.

So, I've listened to most of these links, and haven't really been that impressed. Some of them are nice, but none of them have made me go "I wish that was on the FFXIV soundtrack." Are you sure you're not simply being persuaded by nostalgia rather than the quality of the music?

You wouldn't understand unless you played the game. The music fits very well with every zone/scene/battle so you visualize all of that whenever you listen to the soundtrack. Besides that, it actually IS an amazing soundtrack on its own. Man, I notice that every time someone says something good about XI another person will immediately dismiss it as nostalgia. It's getting old guys.

Also, best zone music is Gustaberg, and best boss theme is Fighters of the Crystals.
