Thread: Please bring 1.0 Battle themes back!

Regardless of what people thought, the way the music was in 1.0 made it feel a bit more FF than ARR so far. Aside graphics and story, what are FF games known for? Certainly not 30 seconds of non-looped music everywhere. 1.0 had good music, the only reason it was out of place in some spots was because all he had to work with was concept art, otherwise all of the music he composed were basically throw backs to older FF games, for example:

Just my little tidbit for now, but I find ARR's themes to be much more interesting than 1.0s. All due respect to Uematsu, but to me Soken's compositions are a bit more catchy and stick in my head for days whereas the 1.0 themes made me want to turn them down because they didn't feel quite right.

The battle themes that are actually good (the beastmen stronghold ones) did come back. The other terrible field ones did not, and they can stay gone. The new battle theme is way better.1

I miss all of 1.0's music and zones; I wish they hadn't all changed so drastically. 2.0 added a lot of good, but it also took away a lot of what I liked about 1.0. I almost regret getting Before Meteor because the nostalgia hurts ever so slightly.

I completely agree to this we need more battle variety or a way to turn off combat music as it sometimes ruins the mood when your listening to an awesome tune :3

I don't understand why the BGM phases in and out all the time, a lot of the BGM is fantastic so it seems a shame I don't rate the battle music either!

I also like how they replaced music that not many people complained about (or no people at all, like the old town music), but the one song that eeeeveryone complained about, that gods damned chocobo theme, is still there with it's freaking OMG YOU JUST MOUNTED A CHOCOBO HOLY SHIT trumpets, just as it's always been. Never in my life did I think I'd end up hating the chocobo theme. God damn it, SE.

They addressed this complaint by allowing you to turn the mount music off.
