FFXV Regalia adjustment suggestion

[Baklavah]

I know there's not a lot you can do with mounts, but one thing that I feel was a missed opportunity is the addition of "radio" buttons on the hotbar. Let us listen to our Orchestrion Rolls in the car. The standard "mount music" for it is just... I dunno. It gets old to listen to. And the car DID have a the functionality to flip through available music. Just seems like it should have been thought of.

Not a necessity, mind you, but it would have been a nice feature to have.

I can agree to this! Also would like an option to put the top down on the car. It’s raining, I don’t want the sweet interior getting wet! Much less when the thing submerses and turns into a submarine!

Also, if you SE devs are looking for a new Gil Sink mount….. Pure… Gold… Regalia….

This is something that has been asked for pretty frequently, yet until they do some back end rework or overhaul it unfortunately won't be possible.
There are a few reasons why, and here are two answers from other threads about a portable radio/orchestrion.

I'm pretty sure Soken has already explained in the past about why this is not actually possible, but I lack the citation about it. From what I understand it's due to how the music in the game is coded using two seperate channels - zone music uses the main channel, where as battle music and event themes use the second channel, and when a battle theme or event theme needs to play it momentarily mutes or pauses the main channel, before switching back.

It appears the Orchestrion uses this secondary channel, and hence it can't be used outside a furnishing inside an instanced inn room or house, because there is no expected need to run an event cutscene or battle theme inside a house or inn room, where as outside in the field the secondary channel is required for battles and cutscenes.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a portable Orchestrion too, but unfortunately I do not see it happening due to the aforementioned reasons.

Bingo.

Pretty sure a dev commented on this at some point. The pool of music tracks that can play in a given zone is limited, just like everything else, because it's checking against a database in real time for hundreds of players.
You have two zone themes, the battle theme, sometimes a beast tribe theme or two, and then x amount of mount tracks. It has to check this database for every player in the zone every time their music changes.

And yet, a number of stations COULD be added to the regalia.
Sure, it would be limited.
Sure, it would depend on what was already in the zone.
But why NOT let us pick between a few songs?
