Battle Music ON / OFF <[ YES , PLEASE! ]> <[ Where? ]> <[ When? ]>

[Recaldy]

So.. multiple expansion releases and we still can't disable that annoying battle music which starts every time we ride past an aggressive mob?

Well, guess the hard work of the music team goes to waste yet again. So far I've heard a lot of lovely zone music, but I will disable it because of the monotony of battle and FATE music.

It's a shame. System designers deserve a kick in the rear from the music team on this one.

They can get the UI guy to comment on a thread lickity split but we can't get an on or off switch that's been requested for months?

Instead of a battle music toggle, how about a MP3 like device you can use to play any song you find or acquire? Similar to the MP3 in FFXV. I would love to play the HW Battle Theme Remix when fighting mobs or change the annoying Area Themes like AV....

Requested for years, actually. Even worse. @_@

I definitely support this. The field music in Stormblood (and the rest of Final Fantasy XIV) is excellent, and I'd really enjoy turning off the battle music. I believe Azys Lla already does this actually. It would be a great feature to have.

As many people mentioned, it is really disappointing that there is no option to disable battle music after all those years. It's extremely annoying in the long run, in particular in open areas where you are bound to aggro something while navigating or fight only during a very short time since mobs are weak. Please give us an option so we can fully enjoy the out-of-combat background musics!

Would love the option to turn off both battle AND FATE music. Especially the later can get so annoying, especially if I'm enjoying the theme of the zone. I make it a point to go around any FATE marks on the map when possible.
It's also disappointing that we don't have an option to loop backround music.

When I'm doing gathering, seriously I do not want any of that battle music nor the FATE music. They are irritating. They destroy that peaceful, serene, almost sacred gathering trance.

... So you can sit back and relax, while that random mob you just aggroed and you didn't see whacks you in the head and kills you DEAD

Hey this thread got bumped back up again!

So, Square-Enix, how you doing? You just released this new expansion, it's been pretty alright! It's got some nice music. Some real nice music, actually. Would be a shame if some of us couldn't relax and enjoy that nice music, wouldn't it? Imagine this: You're playing a new MMO, and you're loving the music so much. Every time you go into a new zone you think "Wow! They really nailed it here too! It's all perfect." But then... disaster. You walk past a bee, and your presence has offended it. Trumpets! Blaring trumpets! Drums! This bee is so mad it brought an orchestra with it, and the orchestra is really mad at you too. So mad that they've contracted their services out to every bee, bear, squid, and mud creature the realm over to play their same angry, upset song at you everywhere you go. You just wish you could hear that pleasant music uninterrupted by an angry orchestra again.

That's us. All the time. That player. Pretty please, can we have a toggle?

You still get the aggro (targeting) notification ping, which is controlled by the Sound Effects volume.

I'd love an on/off switch. I've only been playing a month or so and the battle music's already driving me mad.
