    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.

    Strongly agree.

    To be honest, I just want to be able to turn off the obnoxious several "dun, dun DUN!" in a row..when I'm listening to a nice field theme, and have to pass a couple FATEs on a slender section of the map.

    If I enter a FATE, I'd prefer just to hear a light ding or something. As for the BGMs, I'll always enjoy torn from the heavens, but there should be a toggle for them.

    This is exactly the problem I have with it. I would even be fine if they just waited for you to click "join fate" or whatever to start playing the BGM - I actively swerve out of the way of these to avoid the 5 seconds of music change when I'm running around a zone lol. But a toggle would do the same job, so I'm all for it.

    I would love to have the option to turn the FATE music off, too. There are times when you can't avoid going through a FATE area - I try to avoid them as much as possible so as not to hear it. I have the normal environmental sounds and the BGM, which I love. There's nothing worse than being in Raincatcher Gully, with all the ambient sounds that's punctuated intermittently with beautiful music, only to have you zapped back to reality in an instant with that suddenly loud and jarring music. It's difficult to soak up the atmosphere with it. I have the mounted sound and normal battle music turned off, and it's bliss. More of this please.

    +1 for this suggestion! I just like to gather or search for the perfect gpose spot in peace while enjoying the general background music of an area.

    Yes please!! This would be so nice, there are areas where I genuinely enjoy the BGM while gathering and then I do a leve or do a fate and it just - yuck.
