No, it isn't better. Yes FFXI is a great game yes it has good music but a lot of the music contains recycled beats and lacks spirit. Compared to most FF games, only a small handful of songs really stick out.

FFXIV contains a lot of variation and a lot of style, and it conveys mood quite well. Some songs not as good as others but its soundtrack is better than XI by far.
I disagree maybe some was recycled etc.. the point is the music fit the mood quite well especially in battles in field or dungeons, bosses, bcnms and so on. I'm not saying all the music is bad in XIV but the good stuff is barely even heard, it's like in a few cut scenes etc. The music likes and dislikes is purely personal and to me most battle music blows expect in the 2 northern zones. To be honest I guess battle music only makes a appearance in NM fights because all other battles last for like 5secs.
