    Options for previous title screens

    I'm not sure where to put this as feedback seems to pertain entirely to this site.

    As a somewhat new player, I did not get to see any of the previous title screens. Just the main one and Shadowbringers. When the expansion title screen went up, it nearly blew out my speakers at a normal speaker volume. If I don't mute my speakers when loading up the game it just gets too loud, especially when I have roommates. So this is a topic for two things I guess.

    Can we please get an option to change the title screen to previous ones, and can we also get the option to turn down just the title screen music? Once I get past it I turn the speakers back up.

    Also, they should play the movie corresponding to the point you are with the most advanced char in the data center last registered. In that way, if you didn't finished ARR you will watch the "answers" movie if you stay idle in the title screen even if you have Shadowbringers expansion. When you advance for Heavensward, the movie changes for HW and so on...

    Even games made in RPG maker have stuff like that '-'

    You can watch the older CG openings under 'Movies' whenever you so wish though (all the way back to ARR) so that is hardly needed.

    As for the title screen, there was formerly a trick you could use to view older title screens by simply uninstalling the game and then reinstalling just ARR and any expansions up to the one whose title screen you wanted to view and disabling the client from automatically downloading any 'missing' expansions that you had registered. Unfortunately the option to download missing expansions was removed from the client's Config menu (it was available at least when HW launched), and so the client must just download it automatically by default now, thus preventing that trick from being used. So that is no longer an option sadly.

    To be really honest I wouldn't be surprised if eventually SE takes a leaf out of FFXI's book and just has a default title screen (maybe with the option to change the background to whatever expansion title screen desired) with the titles of the expansions added alongside it rather than having to create a new title screen each time.

    My idea: Add an option that makes it so it selects the title screen based on where your last played character most recently logged out. For example, if you last logged out in Ishgard, it will show the Heavensward title screen.
