FFXIV and OST

[BraveheartRamo]

After the countless hours spent on FFXI, the only thing I can never forget is their OST. For ARR, I hope they would consider changing Coerathas Central Highlands OST. Perhaps it good but not good enough when spending all time game play in it, especially when the Ishgardians get back to their senses and join as a 4th city.

You mean like this?

And I'll say it again; please adapt the music so it can be looped again. The main reason people don't remember the OST is because we don't get to hear it.

Hrmm im gonna get hate for sayin this, but I feel like the FFXIV 2.0 music doesn't have that unique "final fantasy" vibe like it did in 1.0. Yes, I know Uematsu composed the 1.0 OST, and this is now a different composer.... it's just that when I listen to an OST from ffxiv:arr, I wouldn't think it to be final fantasy - It sounds like a generic mmo soundtrack. There are times when I have heard ffxi songs, and knew it was from something final fantasy because it sounded and felt like a final fantasy-ish song (fyi: I never played ffxi)

The biggest disappointment for me in this game is the blatant lack of Uematsu.


WHY isn't "Twilight over Thanalan" played in Thanalan anymore? That was one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

As far as I remember, Twilight over Thanalan does play during the intro cutscene when starting as a class in Ul'dah-- so, it's in the game! Just... one time where a lot of people won't hear it.

There are still songs from Uematsu ingame
Nemesis, The Dark's Embrace, The Dark's Kiss, Fury, Phantom of the Lake, Wrath of the Eikons, Primal Judgement, Horizon Calling, Flightless Wings, Pitfire, Imperial Will, Steel Reason, Tempest and many more

Here some as example

??? What do you consider 'final fantasy-ish?' Because the ARR soundtrack is AMAZING and DEFINITELY Final Fantasy-ish. 1.0 sounds like FFXIII, not like pretty much any other FF game (Ok, Crisis Core's soundtrack notwithstanding).

1.0 sounds like FFXIII

...What? Do you have ears?

You may have forgotten that Soken said that he may have Uematsu help/add to the soundtrack for Heavensward? He said it (I can't remember, it's late at night lol) during the music session at the London Fan Festival. Well, someone in the audience at first suggested it, and Soken went "OKAY! " as a response.
