M, Lalafell
Area and Coordinates:
Manderville Golden Saucer, Drop off point from Airship.
Steps:
I took the airship from Ul'dah to Manderville Golden Saucer as part of the quest "It Could Happen to You." I let all cut scenes play out (the airship trip and saucer area images). Once finished I clicked "Complete" and was standing where the airship drops you off (don't have exact coordinates, but take an airship to the Saucer.. once there, those are the coordinates). The typical Saucer music was playing at this point (carnival type music always present in that area). Rather than accept the next quest from the "Airship Ticketer" (World of Wonders) I decided to do that later and instead teleported to Alesport. The Saucer music didn't stop though, it kept going and going even when I was in Alesport walking around. After around 60 seconds or so I right clicked (just r-click for menu did not go anywhere) the Aethernet and the music stopped, replaced by a usual tune present in the Alesport area. I then teleported to Ul'dah, again took the airship to The Saucer, the music played, but when I teleported to Alesport, it immediately faded as it normally would. So I could not reproduce it.
Some thoughts here:
1. This is not a bug but just the way the engine works. When you enter the Golden Saucer area for the first time, the saucer music will play out for a certain period of time, whether or not you stay or leave the area. The fact that the music seemed to stop when I right clicked the Aethernet in Alesport could have been coincidence. I cannot recall if it cut off or came to a proper stop so do not know if it would have gone on forever.
2. I triggered some sort of bug where the Saucer music just won't go away despite leaving the area.
Unfortunately, as I completed the initial quest (It Could Happen to You), I have no way of reproducing this issue. What I'd recommend you do to reproduce is:
A. Accept the quest "It Could Happen to You"
B. Take the airship to The Saucer; let the cutscenes play out in full.
C. A few seconds after completing the quest and being dropped off at The Saucer, instead of walking around or accepting the next quest, teleport to another destination (can use Alesport if you want to duplicate this in full).
D. See if the music continues. If so, see if it continues after r-clicking the aethernet (just r-click don't select anything). Alternately, see if you can "wait it out."
If the above happens, we've reproduced the issue and now just need to find out if it is "working as intended / expected behavior" or a bug. I can't answer that one! If possible, please respond to this at some point a(or toss it in "not a bug/working as intended" if normal).
Thanks!
