    Music Boxes + Orchestrion

    Alright, so, having just completed the GSM 60 quest, I've noticed about the music boxes. They play a rearranegement of The Maker's Ruin apparently (which was the first song they heard). However, between this and the Orchestrion, it's got me thinking, since The Maker's Ruin is therefore canon in the lore, how many more songs are canon? Is every song in the orchestrion considered canon?

    As I'm sure you are well aware, it takes more than one person to be able to kick a player from a duty, so in all those instances there were at least two people agreeing they'd be better off without you tanking.

    You know how they work mechanically, it’s kind of like a player piano; that’s why they have the rolls. You’ve got the parchment with the holes punched it in and you put it into the orchestrion and it plays the song based on where it hits the holes. Are we hearing them in battles? Nooo. It’s not some special effect of the Echo. Lore-wise, there are bards and minstrels and there is this wandering composer. He hears these stories about adventurers and their grand battles and he composes music. The music that he thinks up is on the orchestrion roll.

    And they just happen to turn up in a treasure chest in the Navel.

    A lot of people like music in Eorzea. Not everyone has a place to put their orchestrion rolls. So it’s like, “I’ll just put it in this chest here! It’ll be safe!” and then some adventurer comes along and steals it and it’s like, “Oh, no, where’s my orchestrion roll!?” <laughs> “I tilled fields for three seasons to afford that!”
    tl;dr story/gameplay segregation and jokes
