    Option to disable Boss FATE BGM and DoL Levequest BGM

    Good morning,
    I'd like to leave a few QoL suggestions regarding BGMs on Boss FATEs and DoL Levequests.

    It's been eleven years since A Realm Reborn was released. Many of us have been hearing BGMs such as "When a Tree Falls" and "Hard To Miss" throughout every single expansion that came after it. For eleven years. It feels kinda sad when you're jamming to a new BGM only to enter a Boss FATE and have it replaced by a track we've heard a nauseating amount of times now. Same applies to DoL levequests.

    Thus, I suggest adding a sound setting that allows you to Enable/Disable levequest BGMs and FATE BGMs, so that we can hear the zone's BGM instead, similarly to the "Enable normal battle music", "Enable city-state BGM in residential areas" and "Play music when mounted" options.

    Oh gods, yes, please let me disable the damn FATE music. I don't mind FATE farming for the shared FATEs in general because it gives me more reason to hang out in the beautiful areas of this game. However, if this wonderful atmospheric music is constantly interrupted by DAAAA DAA DA DA DAAA DA DAAAAAAA whenever I join a new FATE, it's really annoying and usually ends up with me turning the background music off entirely and listen to something own or Youtube or start a show on Netflix. I already turned off regular battle sounds for the same reason, please let me do the same for FATEs. (Also gives me Eureka flashbacks...)

    I don't do Levequests, so I can't tell a lot about that, but more options is always good, and by what you say it's just as annoying, so +1 for that as well!

    Not really sure if a lot of people are going to see this post though, considering there is an area for FATE feedback: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/650-FATE
    Maybe consider moving it there, if this is possible, or open another thread over there and edit a link into your original post?

    I guess you could say it's Hard to Miss the FATE boss music

    But seriously, every time they throw Torn From the Heavens or ANYTHING else, it's an improvement because of the variety alone. As much as I appreciate new 'midboss' themes in dungeons being a thing since 5.2, I would prefer getting a new FATE boss theme every expansion and then have whoever plans the FATEs feel at liberty to assign whatever music they think fits.

    Hell, the Feast remix of the tune isn't even used in game anymore. Slap that guy on there.

    Good suggestion. I'll do that.
