Most songs are repetitive, and really lack that special unique memorable melody that Uematsu's famous for.

To sum up my opinion: Despite the repetitiveness of songs in previous Final Fantasies, I could listen to them forever without growing tired of it, even in FFXI. However, I can not say the same for FFXIV's OST.

And it bugs me that some people here are so blindingly faithful to Uematsu's work.

I really hope that a revamped OST is being considered for 2.0.

In the meantime though, allowing us to access the music files and play switch-a-roo would be awesome.
I think he did pretty well considering what he had to work with... Not to mention there are many tracks that are unused still. -_-
