i agree OP.
since the alpha i've been wondering up and down if maybe this will ever get changed.
entering a fight in FFXI you were allways pumped (CoP boss music is the best example!), but i think in FFXIV, it's so hasty and not really fitting the fight anymore.
coerthas battle music is the best example, i mean it's a great piece like every other track in FFXIV, but it has more of a boss sound to it, yet you're fighting a squirrel XD.
