    Change the Mid-boss themes back please!

    As much as I like Insatiable given its dynamic with orchestra, the Dissidia Final Fantasy remix the developers decided to throw into the mid-boss GREATLY disrupts the flow of the dungeon.

    Generally, I actually liked the re-use of the old mid-boss themes where applicable. Especially the ones that felt like you were having to overcome something huge to press forward(Qitana Ravel, Holminster Switch, Malikah's Well). As for dungeons such as Mt. Gulg, I feel like it would've been fine there to insert that theme given that you're pressing against the enemy's own base of operations.

    For Il Mheg, what was there before made sense to me with mid-bosses. But when you hear the same, rawkus theme throughout every mid-boss? It gets old, really, really fast with how much finality that there is in Insatiable's theme because what Insatiable keeps saying is "At this, the world's end do we cast off tomorrow!" as in if you don't change the here and now, the world's going to end. It shouldn't feel that way throughout all of Shadowbringers.

    I will at least give credit where it's due: Using the theme post-5.0 dungeons is actually feeling quite fine because we've dealt with the immediate threat, but now we're trying to save our friends too because they were drawn over by accident.

    I'm not the biggest fan of the new theme since it's too similar to the theme used by the final boss...but I do prefer it to what came before which we've been hearing far too often for multiple expansions.

    Actually I like it because it makes Shadowbringers unique, with having more dedicated music to it, and tbh we ain't going to hear it much after Shadowbringers has ended and we are in 6.0.

    Also can't tell you how bored I was listening to the same theme for bosses for 6+ years

    I mean, I understand the old music from ARR gets old too, but that's from running it 100 times over. If you take the repetition of dungeons out of the equation for a minute and look at where they place music pieces in dungeons, I'd rather have musical diversity fitting to the current situation(i.e. Eulmoran soldiers are pressing the front while you're in the Qitana Ravel) than merely the Insatiable Remix put on for every single boss and then give us the normal Insatiable at the end. It lowers the impact of Insatiable as a whole when we get to the end of the dungeon.

    Simple solution instead of a request like that. Mute the music of the game and play your own music
