Best Music in Game

[Teakwood]

Sadly, as far as I know, the only tracks that have names that we know of are on the FFXIV Field Tracks and Battle Tracks album. Of these, some of the names are kind of interesting - especially 'Opening Theme' for the iconic theme that winds up being used in character creation, rather than in any opening.

I LOVE Van Darnus' theme. It's so ominous, so terrifying - there's something about the rhythmic four-beat underlying structure that fills me with dread. It reminds me of the Master's Theme from Doctor Who, that might be part of why it gets to me so much.

Oh, and the Gobbue theme, of all things! It sounds like something Mitsuda would have written, in all the best ways. I love the soundtrack to this game, both old tracks and new, and can probably dork about it for hours given the chance. XD

Ooh, and I forgot: the dungeon theme! Back before there were any dungeons in the game (!) it drove me crazy not knowing where that theme would play. When it finally popped in when I did Toto-Rak for the first time - and then when it went crazy when I started fighting something - it was pretty incredible. I love the use of dynamic scoring in dungeons; I wish the normal field/battle tracks were at least motif reflections of each other.
