Ask Sound Director Masayoshi Soken Your Questions

[CrimsonGunner]

hi soken

what is your favorite job in FF 14 and what type theme would you had given it if you had the chance to make one for it?

[Eloah]

Do you think we'll ever get another boss fight song that is somber in nature, and builds in suspense, similar to the Final Steps of Faith fight against Nidhogg?

[Thessia]

Hi there soken.

If you could choose a theme that captures viera's frustration of not getting all the hairstyle and not being able to display helmets, which one would it be?

[Divinemights]

Hi Soken,

Is it possible for our player character to have a voiced monologues with dialogue wheel that is similar to fallout 4 during cut scene?

[Epperson]

For being a special mount, The Ozma mount from Baldesion Arsenal, uses the default Heavensward flying music rather than the FF11 Track Played/Earned from the Ozma fight. Was this an accidental oversight?

[DemascusW]

Hey Soken you and your team has put together some incredible memorable music.

Would you ever consider(and not sure if this have ever been asked) but 2would you consider bringing in Naoshi Mizuta who had worked with ffxi to compose some amazing songs together.

asking because Mizuta is another favorite composers and created one of my all time favorite pieces Luck of the mog. I think that would be an incredible team up

Do you (Soken) work on any other projects outside of FFXIV?

[Drax22]

Hi soken
Are there any plans to change the gunbreaker sound effects again? the new ones sound a little too week and blunt to lot of people myself included infact i think most people just preferred the old ones
Thanks!

Hi soken

Is there any plans to add more orchestrion rolls that are the primals versions of songs (such as Heroes, Revenge Twofold etc)?

[Noitems]

Will you be able to put the 8bit music renditions for Magnai Fantasy you folks made last year for April Fools into the game? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPaI3YV4GeA

That video had a ton of remixes of Stormblood songs done in 8 bit( played over references to other SE games) but the versions that were made for Doma Castle and the Peaks were absolutely fantastic.

I'm assuming you did the songs as you made the versions for Wayward Daughter and the Worm's Tail, I'd love to see it put up in the Gold Saucer as a reward since the songs are really fantastic.
