Jutebox Joy For All

[Wilan]

I was following the live letter, and I don't know if I've missed this piece of information or they didn't tell at all. Do we know how we'll actually get the Orchestrion itself?
Is it crafted? Is it a very expensive craft? Is it a reasonably expensive item from an NPC vendor? Is it free with the orchestrion quest? I mean, there's gotta be a quest to unlock the music log, right? Like the Triple Triad cards.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, do not make me keep sheets of music in my already strained inventory......

[AstralKaos]

It should be an option if you want the "ermagerd so cool proximity" audio or not and have it as full house BGM, honestly. Have it like lighting, from left to right adjusting how proximity based it is until all the way on the right it's the default BGM inside of your house/room.

People have asked for that for a long time, the least it could do is do that one thing, right?

[SokiYagami]

Perhaps if we can use multiple Orchestrions in one house, we can have different music in different floors or rooms. That could be cool. Even if we can though, I shudder to think of the wasted item slots.

I'm pretty sure item slot will be the least of your worries though. However, if we do have the option to have multiple orchestrions (or some sort of extension speakers) playing in synchronization, I'm so gonna set up a 5.0 playing system in my house.

...or die trying.

I don't know if it was said anywhere before, sorry if so. If you have played FFXI like I did and cared about decorating your moghouse you might remember how the orchestrion worked there. You had it sitting there and you could quest your sheets, just like they describe it here. When getting a sheet you didn't get an actual item that's placed into your inventory. You would have gotten a key item that was listed in your key item list. Also the key items in XI weren't like the key items in XIV where you get an actual item placed in a seperated inventory. Key items were blue text lines in a list, no inventory stuffed. Therefore I am 100% convinced they'll handle it similarly in XIV. Converting this system to XIV I am sure it will look like the mounts, minions, fishing log, sightseeing log, etc.

I'm sad if the jukebox isn't going to change the full house music, because let's face it, that is the reason we wanted this in the first place.

I hope they either add speakers(when they increase furnishing limit) or change that into BGM for the whole house.

I think they've already said somewhere that this is the case.

[Shyngo]

um....you mean they will change into BGM? source?
