Battle Music Concerns

[Nocte]

Ultima Arma's brilliant (along with a few other boss themes), FFXIV:ARR does have its decent music.

Admittedly though the battle music outside of dungeons (and instances at that) is much too repetitive across zones. They're barely unique and hardly memorable (in a good sense), which isn't great.

Definitely miss that Uematsu Rock battle music. It may kinda sorta be out of place in Eorzea.. but it was/is still pretty awesome to listen to.

In terms of the music for 2.0, the sound team re-did most of it due to simple things such as using appropriate instruments for the area.

Nobou Uematsu didn't have anything but artwork to go by in 1.23 and in parts the music didn't fit as well as it could have.

Each area you enter the music has been designed to fit, a luxury Nobou Uematsu didn't have.

There are some FATEs with different battle music.

The fight with Cancer on Bloodshore has a great theme: http://youtu.be/tOs_sz_ecHs

(Might need to turn it up a bit)
