..Huh. ARR's music is overly generic and XIV 1.0's wasn't since the battle themes/boss theme and leve theme were built around the zone's theme. I don't know though, music is personal tastes but:

These doesn't strike me as 'generic' compared to ARR's same battle theme everywhere with different instrumentation and some battle/boss music that isn't that in ARR was Uematsu's work in 1.0.

I'm happy with 2.0's direction on music save normal battle music
Based on saying XI's music felt 'samey', this struck me as ironic lol.
