Battle Music Packs/DLC

[Defias]

Dear Devs,

I love all the remixes of previous FF titles in this game.
They manage to be altered enough to feel "original" to Eorzea but also are similar enough honor the games they are from.

That said...PLEASE add Selectable Music Tracks to this game.

My idea is like this:
Add a new Tab to the Sound Menu titled "Music"
This menu would allow us to choose music options such as:
Loop Zone BGM
No Zone BGM

Then a sub-section/tab titled:
"Themes"
This menu would then allow us to select BGM for the following scenarios:
Battle Themes:
Battle (La Noscea)
Battle (Thanalan)
Battle (The Black Shroud)
Battle (Coerthas)
Battle (Mor Dona)
Dungeon Battle (1-29)
Dungeon Battle (30-50)
Dungeon Boss (Currently: "A Fine Death")
Dungeon Final Boss (Currently: "Nemesis")
FATE (Regular)
FATE (Boss)
FATE (Raid) [Excluding iconic raids like Behemoth & Odin]
Garlean Leadership (Currently "Steel Reason") [Excluding Gaius van Baelsar]

- Mount Themes
(Option to have each mount have a unique theme.)

-Crafting Themes
Help add some extra flare to Crafting.
[Timber Owls (FF8), Various City Music from FF9]

- Fishing Themes
[Themes like: Fisherman's Horizon (FF8), Tifa's Theme. (FF7)]

Music Packs could be released as both Original & Remixes Volumes.
ex:
FFVIII Theme Pack - Original
FFVII Theme Pack - Remixed & Remastered

By Default I say everyone should get:
FFXIV 1.0 Theme Pack (Before Meteor OST)

The goal here isn't to ruin FF14s music. Just allow customization for the themes that feel played out to some players.
I personally enjoy FFXIII's Boss Battle BGM "Saber's Edge", FFX's Boss BGM "Enemy Attack", FFIX's Battle & Boss themes, & the list goes on.

Hell SE could add the BGM packs to the Cash Shop.
If anything it is PURE fluff & aesthetics and falls under the catagory of DLC by console gamer standards.
And having the ability to change BGM is not Pay to Win.

To help ease why I feel this would make more sense in the Cash Shop:
Remixing & Remastering Music is costly & time consuming. Seeing as it would take lots of time & effort.
I'm a cheapskate, I would love to have FREE Music packs, but realistically I can't see it happening for free.

I would love to see the packs unlocked/rewarded for doing In-game events for the respective FF they come from however seeing the backlash Lightning Strikes & Burgeoning Dread had...I doubt any more cross-over/fanfare events will happen.

Addendum:
I chose General, because I have only played: FF1, FF6 (half of it) - FF14
I am no Music guru as a result, and I thought it would nice to see what Tracks other players might think up.
I already submitted the idea via In-game Suggestion Feedback.

Edit Note 1:
Changed thread title & realigned suggestion to 100% Cash Shop supporting.
(Due to the rude replies. If you're going to flame me, I might as well justify your flames.)
Edit 2:
Expanded reasoning, and explained why I chose General.

Please be joking. Especially that last part.

Hey, they can start adding raids with no textures from now on. Then they can start selling texture packs for like 10 dollars for each turn/floor/section. Players can still the enemy shapes and aoe indicators and stuff even if it's all white with pink backgrounds or something. They're not required to win the raid.

It'll be pure fluff.

While it's a good idea, especially for people who really dislike the current direction of the music in this game people like this that spins a decent idea into a..well:

Are why the ideas never get taken seriously. I would love to be able to get a DLC or Music pack for more of XIV 1.x's music because there's a good chance they'll never bring back the music that actually felt more..Final Fantasy even if didn't seem like it fit, when you actually sit and listen to the battle theme, field theme and guild leve theme for each area (yes this was a thing) it really put the world together.

Its called use a media player. Every PC has one. Or was that "master race" thing a lie?

[Defias]

Not everyone is a PC gamer. And even with media player the music cannot change for every event.
I don't know a single person who likes the current Final Dungeon Boss BGM.
I personally and burned out the default Battle bgm.

My god people...folks keeps saying they want variety yet when folks make suggestions you attack them blindly.
This is why you can't have nice things.

The 1 thing I remember multiple folks liking about the FFXIII & FFXI events was the music. So why not have an option to use it in game?
Finally. To hell with you all. The post is aimed at the Devs, I posted in General so folks could suggest/add FF titles that had BGM they enjoyed.

I like the boss themes, all of them, especially the one you here in every low level dungeon.
People are not upset about the idea of adding an option to change the music you hear in places but are against the idea of adding it to the cash shop. If you did not suggest adding stuff to the cash shop then nobody would be upset. I love the coil boss theme but I agree that it would be nice to change it to something like Gilgamesh or Leviathans theme every now and they for variety, just not if it includes me paying real world money for a feature.

The problem isn't that you posted in general about this topic. The problem is you getting defensive because others don't agree with you. Secondly its unbecoming of you to assume that others don't like the current themes. Maybe you yourself do not like them, and maybe everybody you come into contact via the game feels the same way. However, here in general most people will tell you what is on their minds.

To my point, this is FFXIV not FFXI or any other version of the FF franchise. This game was developed as a stand alone game. So I can see why SE would pay homage to previous games, but not outright adding in scores of previous music. The intent I think is to develop something entirely different. Before you go on the defensive I am not mocking your request of nice things, but some of us already think that what we have is nice. Also I don't post in these forums often, but one thing I know for sure is the Cash shop thing is a big no no to most of the community. Also from the previous post most are not disagreeing with you on having more music. They are just disagreeing with the cash shop idea you mentioned.

Last if you aimed this at the devs you should have probably posted this in a suggestion section of the forums.

Customizable music is fine but please, nothing in the Cash Shop. Theatrhythm was bad enough.

I'm sure everyone would love more music and variety.

I think you'll find most people are objecting to your IMMEDIATE plea to put it in the cash shop. Why was that necessary? Why not just ask for more music options?

If SE decide to put it in the shop, that sucks but so be it.

But right from the start, "PLEASE, TAKE OUR MONEY, HERE'S HOW"

Just...why?
