Gridania music.

I'm sure I'm not the first to mention this, but aspects of the song sound reminiscent of "The Shire," from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. There's nothing wrong with pulling inspiration from one of the greatest fantasy series of all time.

It's fitting for Gridania, and I can't wait to hear more.

I actually felt it was very 'hobbit like' when I heard it, especially near the end. Was my first reaction.

What is subjective taste? Do i win Jeopardy?!

That said it took two listens to really get the memorable melody part but that is okay. Ivalice with actual battle tracks? Im good with it (even if prefer Nobuo its almost like i can like two types of things!).

I feel your being a bit harsh, i did like the old gridania music better but won't really fit anymore if grid isn't in a dense dark magical forest.

^ I agree.

I watched the second alpha video as soon as it went up, and I still have Grid's new theme stuck in my head. Although I like 1.0's version a little bit more, the new version is definitely not garbage. :x

Now I'd love to hear Ul'dah and Limsa's new tracks...

To me it doesn't feel like Nobuo music but it still good, it sound more like TES and Blizzard ambiant sound music and i do like it. I wish they would bring back Nobuo and Naoshi Mizuda back for the new tune :3 though. At least they said they keep the entire music from 1.0.

But Mizuta is working on some of the music. Him, Yamazaki, Sekito, and Soken have all been credited according to varying sources. I'm curious if Tanioka is involved myself.

As far as the credits on the Itunes music goes, Mizuta only has two tracks credited to him (Maelstrom GC & U'ghamaro Mines). Majority of tracks are composed by Uematsu, with some of the newer stuff by Soken. Tanioka, as far as I can tell, has not been involved with XIV. She hasn't been around for XI for awhile either.

Uematsu was hired to compose all the tracks from the start, but obviously, he wasn't hired for the long-term of this game, kinda like how XI is. Uematsu scored the initial tracks, then Mizuta and Tanioka took care of the subsequent updates.

On a curious note, Mizuta has called his new band the Nana Mihgos.

Frist grass and now this?
