Yeah, I had the exact same thought. I went into the Rising event and was so disappointed when I went to hear that hauntingly beautiful music...only to be rebuffed with that real basic FF theme. Like, bro...I've heard that music so often before.

Except that the Rising Event isn't about that. It's always about looking back to ensure a kinder future. For years, it's the one time of the year that we as the residents of Eorzea get to reflect on the earlier tragedies and how it's shaped the current world. Changing the music distances the reverence of the original tone.
