What's the theme of the Azim Steppe?

The Au Ra clans there are based on Mongolian culture I believe, so it's probably a combination of that and...something else. They like to sorta...mesh things together as far as music goes and it is usually pretty awesome.

Really? Mongolian PLUS something else?

I mean, they're not consistent with things like that. For example, Kugane is very Japanese, purely. The nagas (ananta, whatever they're called) of Gyr Abania are pure Indian. Ishgard is very pure medieval-Europeanesque.

I mean, if they created a town that has a sushi bar together with a shawarma stand, then I'd believe you...

I meant with their music, not the cultures themselves. A good example is Sophia's theme, Equilibrium (best boss theme in the game imo). It has hints of middle eastern influence as well as Asian.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

Yeah. Kugane's theme is strictly Japanese, as it should be. They definitely capture the atmosphere well both aesthetically and with its respective theme.
