Chocobo Music is Disturbing me !!

[AsterBarnivere]

You can't honestly think SE will ban you for modifying something totally harmless to other players? There's no advantage to be gained by changing the music.

It's still against the TOS regardless if it's harmless to other players or not. You're changing THEIR client to something that wasn't supposed to be in the game in the first place, from armor mods to music.

XI did this right. Let the chocobo music fade out into the normal themes after it's been playing for x amount of time. The chocobo theme gets really boring after a while.

Got any links to back that claim up?

Actually I hated when the music faded in XI because I actually liked the simple choco music there better, though most of time I used the fading out a reminder of the choco time limit.

I wish they would add an option in the game where you can change the chocobo music in 2.0 to various other versions of the songs from other FF titles. I think that would be really neat and wouldn't be overly hard to program it to do so. Especially since we are getting the buddy system and hopefully "Chocobo Digging" will come back in some fashion or another. Would be nice to be able to change the music when you wanted and listen to it while doing things on your mount.

Activities that destroy game balance
Using third party programs or tools in FINAL FANTASY XIV is strictly prohibited since they allow users to gain an unfair advantage over other players. The use of programs or tools within FINAL FANTASY XIV that allow certain continuous actions to be performed automatically are often referred to as absentee play, which is also prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Additionally, during the course of an absentee play investigation, players may be requested to respond to or comply with a GMs instruction. Failure to do so is consider a violation and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the account.

The following activities are also prohibited in FINAL FANTASY XIV.
•Modifying, analyzing, integrating and reverse engineering game data (.DAT swapping counts as modifying)
•Utility creation and distribution
•Exploiting SQUARE ENIX programming that does not run as intended to gain profit or damage other players

FFS, no one reads the TOS anymore...

The mixing in the game especially original soundtracks are pretty bad. Though all they need to do is make it fade out after a few loops like they did with XI's music and I know it's supported by the audio module because they can seamlessly transition Battle Music ontop of Dungeon Music.

I agree that XI had a good system, with chocobo music fading after a couple of loops, replaced with area music. I think that would be a good system for XIV. Other people, however, have noted that in XIV you get on and off of your chocobo much more often than in XI, where most rides originated in a city and ended somewhere in the field. As a result, even if XIV had XI's system, you might end up listening to the chocobo theme all the time anyway, since it would reset every time you called your chocobo. I have to agree with that as well, though I still think XI's system would be preferable to what we have currently.


But how about this idea: The chocobo music only starts when you mount up and leave a city or large town via the chocobo NPC. The music then plays through a couple of loops before fading, replaced with the zone music for wherever you are.

If you board your chocobo in the field by whistling, the zone music would continue playing. However, there would be a UI toggle that would allow you to hear the chocobo music whenever mounted if you wanted.

Maybe some swingin' chocobo music will chill everyone out.

Now that's a chocobo theme I can get behind.

That was composed by Masashi Hamazau (Just sayin') *He and Nobuo worked on FFX's OST together*

I am soo mega-bored with GC choco theme. Nowadays, I do Swiftsong or Fist of Winds while travelling.
Or even do choco rental once in a while since it's IMO much better choco theme.

And if I'm around Iron Lake? non choco is a must. That place is the best BGM this game ever have! XD
