Thread: SE: The Soundtrack in 2.0 and Beyond

Well let's use your logic:

Nobuo created the soundtrack for a majority of FF games, some of which were very similar in style to each other, was it due to nostalgia?

before you start talking about how to use nostalgia, you should read your own post when you said you're expecting some good FFXI style music.

You miss my point too.. I want better music. Deal with it.

Style. Style. Do you know what Style means? There's a distinct difference between the composition in XI and XIV, the composition in XI fit adventuring a lot more than the composition in XIV does. Nobuo said he only had concept art to work with when he composed XIV's soundtrack, which is why a lot of it doesn't fit pretty much any location.

Only the dungeon theme is really fitting if you listen to the melody of it.

If Nobuo is allowed another chance to compose a set of new tracks I'll be pleased. In fact its what I wanted for a long time. I just want the themes to be better overall.

This is your opinion, I personally along with alot of other people like this soundtrack alot more than XI's and wouldn't change a thing about it.

I like a lot of the battle music we have now over most of XI's. It's done a lot better.

Also, Gridania's theme reminds me a lot of Arrapago Reef.. both of them are pretty hellish.
Thanalan's sad theme is also quite moving to me.

I think a lot of XIV's music is superior to XI.
