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

[BloodRubyXII]

I remember the first time I learned how to turn off the Chocobo/Magitek music. It was glorious.

Note to players that want it off. Simple solution turn off sounds that you can and buy the sound track make an customized play list and there you have it. I enjoy listening to ffxiv and ffxi while playing and sometimes I listen to Sirius xm.

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

I don't think I ever heard that o.O but then again, I never played without song

I turned off background music years ago. If there were an option to choose, I might turn it back on.

[SokiYagami]

Still waiting for this, can we also get a text command/key bind option when it become a thing?

[Edewen]

Yeah the battle music in the field can be annoying and repetitive. Something I dont understand when they have so many different battle themes in the franchise to pull from, having a randomize or selector of your favorite would be nice.

Not only combat music but music loop too. However, this last part it's more tricky because a lot of the tracks are designed to loop (very noticeable via orchestrion)

Man its over 2 years now since ppl wanted this. Is it realy that hard to give us this option? I realy enjoy the ingame music.

But walking around and getting it interrupted with battle music tunes forces me to turn off ingame music and start looking for other BGM's outside the game..

So please please can we have this option soon ? ? ? ?

I know im talking for alot of people with this wish. And if you give us this option more ppl will actually listen to the ingame music your awesome composer(s) made.

I'd leave it on, but I'm all for more options for people who want it off.

On the topic of music It would be nice if we could set a hotkey to turn on/off BGM. Right now we only have the option for a hotkey for all sound. I don't have BGM on by default, but sometimes I want to turn it on (like for cutscenes, or for when I'm riding the magitek mount.)
