Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XLII! (Sound Director Soken)

[Veritas-Ancora]

SOKEN!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOKEEEENNN

I don't know how to read music!

Can you please publish some of your favorite Final Fantasy songs in keys so I can perform them as my Bard in the game?

Just the keys typed out somewhere for us to see them and learn!


I am terrible with instruments, I want to be your FFXIV Bard Pupil!

When will you release a piano book?

How about a Primals Scorebook?

I'd consider purchasing a full score for the game or tracks in general?

Hello!

I'm a huge fan of your music - it really makes the game special to me.

I was wondering if we will have songs like we did in Alex again. Metal and Locus were so good. I listen to them almost daily.

I've really enjoyed hearing remixed music from old games, but what I would really love is another Metal or another Locus to sweep me off my feet.

Thanks!

Hey Soken!

Is there any chance the mount music for the Sephirot Bird mount could be changed to the actual theme for Sephirot? And for the Arrhidaeus mount music to actually play Rise?

Also, are we ever getting an actual album for The Primals renditions of songs? I loved hearing you guys live at the EU Fanfest last year but the building itself made the sound pretty bad. I'd love hearing studio version of all the songs, espcially Rise!

Dear Soken-sensei,

A collaboration between you and Sasai Ryuuji-sensei would be amazing. He has been missing from the Square family for far too long. Is such a thing possible? I would also love to hear your interpretation of some of his classic pieces, such as The Spirit Chaser from Rudra no Hihou. Thank you for your consideration and hard work.

Soken!! When do you plan on releasing the Stormblood official soundtrack?

[rainichan]

Soken-san! Thank you for the performance of The Lost City of Amdapor at the NA FanFest in 2016 with the box and small toy piano. It was the one thing I wouldn't stop talking about after (and I still don't, even now!)

As for my question, I know Yoshida will give you what sort of sound is needed for things, but what was the hardest to work with to get the right feel for a location? I know Bismarck and Alexander's music was swapped out, but are there any other instances of this, or that there was a location that you struggled with to get right?

Thank you for all of your hard work! Looking forward to the next patches and all of your new music!

[Airget]

Are there any new American, Japanese or even Bands from another country that you've recently become a fan of? It would be interesting to hear what latest music has caught your ear.

[Burnunit]

Will you ever consider a contest or even a reality show of aspiring musicians that want to write music for the game and have the fans vote on pieces that would eventually be used in game based on things such as artwork, Yoshi-P's direction, and in general a whole walk through of what you do to make your magic? I would fight hard in a competition to get my music in this game.

Reality shows are still lucrative. Just saying

You still have problems with houses, why not put a weekly subscription on a house? The problem with people who sell houses for real money would be over, in patch 4.2 there were only houses for FC and the possibility to move the cottage for those who already had cottages, this is not fair because most of them moved to large and medium-sized houses, and FC which have made it big, and those that are not in small or medium averages. Why not also make small private houses for players, divide the settlements into those for FC and private? It would solve the problem of many players. I hope you will take this into account, some of you wait a long time to buy your first house, and unfortunately they do not have as they are at work or school. Best Regards

PS. I forgot to add that the rule should be one house for one player (including alt and the trial account). The guild leader should have one guild house and one private.
