    Implement Orchestrated Music

    The quality of music in XIV is lacking and takes away from the already unfinished polish; it doesn’t evoke a sense of adventure, passion, or adrenaline like the newer generation of Final Fantasies. While this may seem like a bias opinion, I would not have made this argument until I heard Mr. Uematsu’s Distant Worlds concert in New York earlier this month. Suffice to say, his pieces “Navigator’s Glory” and “Twilight Over Thanalan” were breath-taking; the songs themselves were wonderfully composed. The out-dated MIDI music is what strips them of their justice and causes the game to fall short.

    Please consider hiring an orchestra or seeking Mr. Arnie Roth himself to help compose music with Mr. Uematsu for future iterations of this game. I understand from the XIV developers’ standpoint that efforts and funding at the moment are being strained to their limits, but the quality of music has been known to save and promote games that would have otherwise never become successful. Convince Square-Enix to allocate additional funding to this end, and it would leave the development team unaffected to address gameplay issues.

    Oh man. That does sound amazing. Might have to turn off the music and just loop that, I reckon.

    Nobuo also commented he wished he could have done a bit more with the in-game music, so you never know, they added music to FFXI in an update before, so we can log in after a patch and have updated music one day.

    I really wish the Distant Worlds versions of the songs were in the game.

    you know how much money that would cost for production of a huge orchestra just to use it for BGM?

    im with you though, i do wish that the songs from the distant worlds soundtrack was in the game but maybe one day they will do it.

    What is the point? It would not be Lossless in the context of the game anyhow.

    The music does seem a little lackluster in places, but that may have to do with the way it's presented more than the music itself. It's worth keeping in mind that many of the pieces in the soundtrack don't get played with the current content, and certain tracks are better than others, such as the NM battle music or the music in Coerthas. Something I find myself doing often when I'm not in Ventrilo chat with my LS is playing all 3 Black Mages album on loop during leves.
