    It would be wonderful if we had the option to set the music to the ones we had during the MSQ, particularly the second one so players can enjoy the zone with the softer music while we enjoy the ambience and visuals of the otherwise wonderful zone. Ideally we would be able to choose between all three versions of the song, but I understand if we can't have the first one because it has significance tied to the story, but surely an instrumental in the form of the second version would be possible?

    Do as I do, turn off the music and put yours on in the background.
    I do this for everything and especially for Radz-at-Han zone, I find it unbearable.

    Gold saucer too... And for provisioning, worse idea to put a jingle at EVERY provisioning... When you have 30 to give...

    I'd stay in Ultima Thule all the time waiting for a dungeon or at home listening to it, but I guess it's a matter of taste. It just needs some light to be really cool to stay there.

    I think turning off game sounds and putting your own music on is something most people are aware they can do in this situation, including myself. However, I still want some options for the music in that zone regardless because my experience in-game would be better if it accommodated my preferences instead of me having to change my in-game settings and finding other music externally. So I'm supposed to shut off game sounds, turn on Youtube, find a song I'd rather have, and then have to turn everything back to the way they were when I leave the zone? Some people want to enjoy the game as it presents itself, music and all, it's no different from any other content in the player experience. And sure, you can say "Then why not just enjoy the current music?" and I'd say, that's missing the point, the current music is especially hard to listen to over and over which isn't typical with most zone music. Just because it works for some people doesn't mean others can't ask for some quality of life options. Sometimes I don't want to tweak with the settings because it's great in most zones except Ultima Thule where it's particularly an inconvenience. People who already like how things are wouldn't be affected by any of these changes, so it would be nice if it didn't become a reason not to provide options because some people are fine with the way it is now. We all have tastes, yes. "Do as I do" might as well be "Like what I like" or "Play how I play".

    Some options for people feeling uncomfortable would be wonderful.
