FFXI flavor music for FFXIV

[Anima]

We have Masayoshi Soken who composes the New Soundtrack (With his team), Nobuo Uematsu who composed the Original Soundtrack, and hopefully some other great Composers make some in the future!

I really like XIV's music, Orchestra or Synth music What matters most is If it fits into where it is being used, how do you say, If it has the "Harmony" with the situation that's going on. Well I don't know much about music, but that's just my opinion

[Phe]

if this is Masayoshi Sokens work (due to Wikipedia), i definetely hear some FFXI in it.

XI had far better Zone music, had a very...dream like quality to the soundtrack, very appropriate for an MMO in my opinion. I would say XIV's battle music stands on top, however

Also, much love to Kumi Tanioka. His other work is just as excellent:

If by XI's "spirit", you mean the videogame-y, synthesizer-like quality to the music, then I honestly hope that doesn't make it over to XIV.

Hmm.....if you can't tell that a lot of XIV's soundtrack is Synthesized then well..I guess you're just hating on XI's soundtrack for the sake of it as per usual of XIV community lol. By the way, Mizuta is a composer for XIV now too.

Battle Themes are certainly not Mizuta's strong point.

What? Did you only play FFXI to like..level 10 or something? lol. Mizuta's battle themes are actually more theme inspired than Nobuo's, even ones he collab'd on you can tell Mizuta is the main guy on it.

So while his field themes are amazing, his battle themes are actually a lot more fitting for their respective battles and locations compared to Nobuo's. Nobuo's FFIX's soundtrack is probably the only one I can honestly say where he's made a truly great fitting soundtrack.

With that said, I really don't want to rain on this parade, because all of you (OP included) are posting some excellent tracks. I'd definitely like more tracks like this, but using XIV's sound technology.

With that said, I think XIV has a great soundtrack, and it's only getting better. The composers (all of them!) are doing a terrific job, and I hope we hear more tracks in the future from each one. I'd also like to give a little shout-out to sound director Masayoshi Soken, who has done an excellent job ensuring that the new content has an inspired, cohesive soundtrack to go along with it. In my opinion, the man is a god!

No I meant orchestra like I stated 2 posts above u

Plus some of xivs music is alittle iffy
Like limsa theme for ex. It's too epic all the time. Same with Choco song.

Are they making an entire new sountrack for 2.0?

HOW COULD YOU FORGET THESE!? (So much nostalgia it hurts!!)

I actually played XI up until the end of the first three storylines. I never really touched endgame at all, however.

I guess what I mean is, I didn't care for FFXI's battle music all too much. A lot of it sounds, more or less, the same (to me, at least). A few RotZ battle themes, the Kupo d'teat(sp) boss theme, and the ACP theme as well are really the only songs that stuck with me. And Tough Battle, I suppose.

I think Mizuta can do some fantastic battle music, as from what I've heard in XIII-2.

It retains his same style, but it has a much more exciting vibe going for it as well.

I still think that Mizuta's zone/scenario works have no change of being outdone anytime soon, I just don't care all too much for his FFXI battle themes.

He is infact a she.

Used in COP

That is Zilart dungeons. Nidhogg madness 06 taught me this.
