Petition: Magitek Armor Tune

[Uki]

Again, no. Am I the only one thats played FF6? That is Terra's theme. The reason why it was used in the trailer is because the person riding the Magitek looks like Terra.

The closest to a Magitek tune is the one of the factory that actually builds them:

Terra's theme fits the Magitek mount very well because of the FF6 opening scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDMWp1oLoA0#t=3m40s

Both work, in my opinion. The Terra remix is just.. already done. It's the cheapest and fastest thing in the world to implement, it's not asking much. This song would be a lot more work, but definitely not a bad choice. Nonetheless, we need a unique song for it, and preferably a better SE when calling the damn thing, the horn sound is just.. strange.

Almost, but not quite correct. The reason they played Terra's theme in that promo video was because it was re-enacting the opening sequence with the credits rolling, where Terra, Biggs and Wedge were traveling in Magitek Armor from that mountain peak to invade Narshe. Terra's theme played during that opening. And I would imagine Terra's theme would be the best pick for the Magitek Armor mount music because of that. It's the first thing I, and many others I'm sure, would think of when thinking of FF6 and Magitek Armor.

What I don't understand is why we blow a horn to call our Coeurl when we receive a bell. Or the Magitek mount for that matter. It's a machine! What, is it like Gizmoduck?

I don't think you quite understand. I know its a reenactment of FF6's opening, but the reason why Terra's theme played in that opening is because one of the riders is Terra.

I don't want Terra's theme playing because it just doesn't fit. Its like asking for Forever Rachel to play everytime someone other than you dies in a dungeon. The music reflects something unique, not something general.

I will break this text, because it got REALLY long. I like talking about FF music. Sorry.

Your first paragraph is correct, but your statement there does NOT go against what Jinketsu said. The issue of the REASON the music is chosen is different of the EMOTION it stirs on players.

You see, we never get to use the Magitek Armor regularly in the game. There are 3 moments IIRC: The beginning, When you meet Cyan, and inside Cyan's head. What happens is that this scene in FFVI that is recreated in that FFXIV teaser is VERY strong. FFVI took a much more serious approach graphics-wise than FFV and FFIV. The instruments tones are more sober and better tuned in general, following their increasing expertise with the SNES, as well as Nobuo's ambition, clearly pushed to the limit in the Opera.

All of that reflects in that omnious opening credits. The dark tones, the emptiness of the snow field, how they talk about Terra.

If it were, we'd hear our characters shout out "Blathering Blatherskite!" instead of blowing a horn.. then again, that would be way cooler than the horn as well.. I vote for "Blathering Blatherskite!" as the Magitek Armor mount sound effect. =P
