    If I'm on lvl 60 sitting at a S rank waiting for people to gather I'm not interested in hearing the battle music from the lvl 3 FATE I'm standing in. If I'm out gathering Ramie on BTN I'm not really interested in hearing the FATE music my nodes happened to spawn in. If I'm just riding through a zone jamming out to the mount music from my Rose Lanner I'm not interested in that music being interrupted because my path takes me through a FATE. In short, anytime I'm not actively clicking "level sync" to join a FATE, I don't want to hear the music from it. FATE music is generally annoying and disruptive IF you aren't participating in the FATE. If you are, then it's completely appropriate.

    This game has an amazing music track, but FATE's are responsible for me toggling off BGM 90% of the time. Show this thread some love. If we can get enough traffic or likes it might actually end up on the Dev Team's radar.
    Perhaps go one further and allow toggling the music off for each specific dynamic music mechanic.

    eg,
    Turn off general combat music.
    Turn off general overworld music.
    Turn off levequest music.
    Turn off FATE's music and the chime tone when you enter/exit/fail/pass a FATE. Maybe even just "turn off combat music while not as a combat class"
    Turn off the duty's combat music, while leaving the duty's normal music up, or turn off the duty's normal music as well
    Turn off the boss combat music
    Turn off storyline music (not sure why you'd want to except to dub over it for a video)
    Turn off mount's music/reconfigure mount's music.

    While I enjoy the music in the game, it's the repetitive nature of some of the music gets a bit much. In other games I've played, I eventually turn the music off because you can only deal with the same music track so many times being reused, before you just get sick of hearing it. Fortunately most of FFXIV's music isn't shrill, but just like in the console games, the same combat music OVER and OVER and OVER gets tiring.

    Supporting OP. While I'm sitting trying to fish, FATE music is the most obnoxious thing.

    While I love the FATE music i think the whole FATE JOINED jingle should play after you level sync down otherwise flying around I hear it up to 6 times while helping a friend get from one place to another

    Super this. If I see someone alone doing a fate, I'll watch their HP for a short second and decide to help or not. But if I'm not doing anything, the FATE isn't exactly joined. Unless DoL suddenly got tool related weapon skills and an HP boost.

    I'll add "toggle off Levequest annoying music" to the table. Specially DoL leves.
