Music

[Teknoman]

I love Nobuo Uematsu old time work in the low bit era, I did have high expectation. well.

Not saying SE being cheap on making the music we currently have. I just want them putting resources to rework on it.. maybe I am just minority. sigh

Doesnt need reworking, they just need to add more themes/use different ones for various situations.

Also as far as music fitting things, go check out Ys 1&2 PSP or Romancing SaGa PS2. All kinds of great battle and environment themes with a wide range of genres, but no really high tech areas. For instance, this is the sewer theme:

(Kenji Ito is awesome though, and i'm hoping he does some tracks for 14 expansions in the future)

Darm's tower from Ys:

(Same with Yuzo Koshiro, but he usually doesnt do Square Enix titles)

I do agree that the music should change depending on what section of the huge zones you are in. The reason why the same overworld theme worked over and over in offline RPGs is that overworld travel was fairly fast. With huge fields such as in FF14, different sections need either remixed versions of the normal field theme, or just something totally different that fades in when you get near that area.

Also i'd appreciate it if you RPG music fans could chime in hear:
