SPOILER BEWARE!! MUSIC Discussion

SECOND SPOILER WARNING!!



Ultima Thule...
Can we have an option to turn the music back to instrumental? The zone was so chill and calm, and perfect for relaxing to, and then suddenly they stuck us with a permanent change in an otherwise USED TO BE perfect environment.

PLEASE BRING THE INSTRUMENTAL BACK. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE. I went from practically living and falling asleep in the zone TO muting the soundtrack and avoiding it because it just wont stop singing! Sure the ambience without music is nice, but it's not the same as the instrumental track was with it. Was so relaxing, and it made me feel calm...

He's got a good voice, and the song is great especially for the moment, BUT IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE PERMANENT!! Pleaaassseeeee give us an option to turn it back to instrumental. It makes me wish I never finished the campaign TT ^TT

If this chat doesn't belong here, please tell me where to post it cause I've already sent feedbacks, and tickets, and asked them to tell me where to go XD I'm even considering making a petition for crying out loud.

I loved the zone THAT much, I loved the ending too!
It just doesn't have to be there EVERY TIME I go there.

I don't want some man singing while i'm staring off at the stars in a calm reflection of the epitome of gaming. Love the zone, love the instrumental, make the singing an OPTION to turn off PLEASEEEEEEEE!

I agree, the song is intrusive when he sings. It was perfect for our endwalk but now it is just....I want instrumental again.

Disagree, love that track. Even farmed all 60 fates so I could get the orchestration roll already :P

Most people don't like listening to the same song more than once in a single sitting. This is well understood psychology and why videogames avoid using vocals as background music when the player will be there for an extended period of time. The song drives people mad, so much so that we have to disable BGM in settings whenever we go there. Instrumental is a necessary replacement.

And you personally loving the track means nobody should have the option?

Just make it optional so the crazy people can listen to it 300 times a day if they want to.

[Melaikh-Kesaiyn]

I also agree with this. It's a nice song for the lead up to the end part of the EW main expansion, and to choose to listen to, but it's rather intrustive to the peaceful ambience of the zone. Yes, please switch it to instrumental or at least give the option for it.

Starting a New Game+ for any part of Shadowbringers will revert the zone music to the original ambient version. You can still do FATEs and gather as normal.

[Smileyman]

This is a nice solution.

Good evening.

I adore that song, but I've to admit that hearing it in loop, as an adventurer who does a lot of gathering to relax, after a few minutes it becomes too much and I need to lower the sound volume.

The original music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QEZVSn22H0) was simply perfect: it gave me the feeling to be in outer space, kind of eerie, and also reminded me of some movie I couldn't recall (Blade Runner or Drive's soundtrack possibly...?).

I think I requested it in the past as well, to have this option to change the background music for the city-states (since I wanted to resume Navigator's Glory in my day Limsa), but it never happened.
It's worth to try again. It would be Great if maybe one of the Omicrons at the camp could give us the choice to return to the original music.


(As a side note, this also happened to the first Radz-at-Han music, which for me was perfect to relax while crafting. Anyway, I overall consider the soundtrack of Endwalker to be Soken's Masterpiece. /clap to the Master! )
