I was not really interested in Orchestrion at first, but I've started to enjoy it as another Pokémon aspect of Eorzea, and I now find odd satisfaction in flipping the switch and playing a different BGM whenever I enter a room or Inn.

What I would really like however, is the ability to play all these Orchestrion rolls I'm collecting while out in the open world. For example, changing to a Playlist, Shuffle, or just a favorite track to liven up:
  • Crafting
  • FATE farming
  • Relic grinding
  • Chocobo grinding
  • Deep Dungeon grinding (Pomander of Rage to Pa-Pa-Ya, etc)
  • etc!
So, some sort of portable Orchestrion, like an iPod. ... oPearl?

There could be limitations to preserve immersion/etc:
  • Maybe expensive to craft/purchase
  • Maybe needs some kind of 'battery' to run continuously (crystals?)
  • Not available in certain areas (maybe recently-released areas, with new music to hear; housing [use a normal Orchestrion for parties]; in Parties?)
  • Not allowed in certain story-driven instances and cutscenes
  • etc
