8.0 - PLEASE STOP WITH Machinations.mp3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MAJRIS]

I'm fairly sure mr. Soken and the music team has been producing plenty of high-quality themes each expansion and they could spare one for "pay attention now" cutscene instead of recycling Cid's Theme over and over and over and over.

Compared to the ascian themes across previous expansions, when you heard their theme, you knew "oh snap, something bad is going to happen".

I can't remember moment where machinations.mp3 would not feel like nothingburger and just filler for more MSQ stalling and more (rarely important) lore buffer. Or maybe it's a subliminal audio cue for "you can safely skip this" ?

Please retire this song completely. full stop. The meat has been chewed 40 times already and it does not resemble food anymore.

thank you.
