Hello, dead-beaten horse, how are you today?

Good, how are yo-

Oh wait.

I say either add a choco music slide bar or play the first 5-6 sec. of the song and fade it out because yes, I know I'm on a choco now and I don't need to be reminded that I'm out of anima.

I loved FF because of infusion of Music with places .. but something force me to play in Silence is !!!
THE GOD DAMN Chocobo music !! its distributing and don't fit my fantasy ~
so PLEASE give us option in configuration to disable the chocobo theme and keep background music on !!

This fellow has in colorful tune
expressed what we all feel deep down to be true

[CrystalWeapon]

Why not suggest a chocobo radio? Strap it on the little buggers back and set the theme to any theme you've heard in game. Just attach the speakers to the bird's barding armor and ride in style ;D

Edit:
If you really want to be disturbed listen to the song at 30 seconds and tell me it doesn't sound like the stabby music from an oldschool horror flick.

I don't mind the music although it would be nice if it faded out on long rides, however my main wish is that it wasn't so loud when your running! if you stand still on your bird the volume is quiet, then as soon as you run it jumps past normal level to double volume. This is a real pain if I'm playing late at night and I have the volume on low so as not to wake up other people in the house, when I ride a chocobo it jumps up to a louder level and I have to mute my music until I stop or get off again.

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.

In all honesty I'd say the best way to describe the Chocobo music is abrasive

It's lovely having all of that brass and such playing the score. I bet in a theatre it's fantastic and really moving!
However, I do prefer the Goobbue music when I'm moving to camp Drybone to hand in a leve.

The battle music is a pain too. For some reason whenever it starts up I cringe. The wail of electric guitars just doesn't seem quite right. Perhaps it's too noticeable for background music and it gets very repetitive very quickly.

Try and think about all of the music in XIV. Which tracks is your favourite? I struggle to pick one particular piece of forgettable music out from the rest.
