SPOILER BEWARE!! MUSIC Discussion

And while you're at it, please fix the Labyrinthos music, where it changes around level 87-88 to that loud obnoxious music and doesn't change back to the fun whimsical ambient music until you complete the EW campaign. Normally when leveling for the first time I take my time to explore and take in the zone, doing FATEs and aether currents, but for Labyrinthos part 2 I just rushed through simply because the replacement music was so obnoxious.

My god, this 1000x. It's not helpful too that the msq campaign is quite long where you have to help the stupid lopporit again, but it's more obnoxious this time. Go here, go there, do it again, now look for 8 people but we marked 20 people.

Frigging give me migraine I kid you not.

[Atamis]

Also agree. Its the one zone i turn the music off for. Its not a bad song, but its akin to going to the tempest and constantly hearing the Shadowbringer theme. it makes the song worse from being over played.

[Theodric]

A good potential compromise would be to have the day theme be the lyrical song and the night theme be the instrumental version.

[Retrisar]

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

That's your compromise - go farm fates and listen to the music in your own room. Ambient music should by... a instrumental music without nasty vocals... and definitely no max 3min long in a loop. Sometimes got feeling like WK gonna defend everything in this game.. even if this is unintended bug.

I hope someone gonna tide you to the chair and gonna force you to listen this music for 48h.

But...how would you know when it's day/night there?

[Alexandre_Noireau]

But...how would you know when it's day/night there?

Because during day time the band theme would sound and during night time the instrumental version.

[Maxilor]

I love the track also, but when i'm running around mining ore?

It becomes a bit over dramatic.

[Kaliesto]

Maybe it is a short song, but I swear Close in the Distance doesn't sound like the entire song.

[Iscah]

Maybe it is a short song, but I swear Close in the Distance doesn't sound like the entire song.

It depends whether they wrote a "full" song and then developed the looped BGM from it, or whether it was written specifically to be used in this looping format without a clear climax and ending.

[ShalindraCelesti]

I miss the instrumental versions of Close in the Distance myself as well although I don't mind the Lyric Version playing in the background as it is a nice song by itself.

If SE would combine the Lyric Version with both instrumental parts the length of the song would be around 9:40 minutes. Over the course of a full day in Eorzea it would loop 7,5 times.

If SE can't let players switch between the various songs then this would make a good compromise in my opinion.
