Implement Orchestrated Music

[MonsieurVerde]

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.

I have no problem with the music.. I just would like that custom soundtrack feature to be added.. so I can at least change a few tracks with music I find more fitting myself..

FFXIV has great music, the OST is pretty good! There are almost 80 tracks or so...
(i did listen to all on youtube)
However... The best tracks you barely get to hear and some of those that you hear a lot i do not like much.
Market wards music for example is really not my cup of tea, it sounds a bit like some bossa nova demo sound that is included in keyboards... Also the battle music in the mines is rather weird...

I really love this track here, i would love to hear it in the market wards

As cool as having all the in game music performed by a live orchestra would be, this is one thing I can say with confidence we'll never get. And frankly, there's no need for it. The soundtrack as a whole is of very high quality. As people have already mentioned, we've barely even gotten a taste of it so far.

[Payadopa]

I agree. The orchestral music already is here. Why not implement them? I'd love to hear it in-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.

Square Enix should know that better than anyone.
