Why doesnt the game feel like a Final Fantasy game

[IveraIvalice]

im noticing the game doesnt feel like a true final fantasy game and im sure you guys have noticed something feels off too. i think the number one thing is the music, thats just my personal opinion, it doesnt feel fantasy like, at all. and i also think its why alot of people dont like gridania. i think gridania looks awesome but the music there just makes people want to go to sleep. wheres that music from windurst that made it so lively, or those traditional battle songs. and my favorite song in all of FFXI, the sanctuary of zi'tah. i think we need songs like that to really change the mood in this game.
the devs are doing some good stuff already but i think this really needs to be added to their list.
but maybe its not just the music. what do you guys think will make the game feel more like a true final fantasy game? not just chocobos and airships

I always thought that Uldah's music sounds like elevator music, and the desert sounds like something out of Mulan. Not a bad thing, but it definitely doesn't seem too final fantasy-like. I do like Limsa's music and Gridania's (to some extent).

The area outside of gridania sounds like harry potter music, and outside of limsa sounds like were in the shire!!
Again these aren't bad things, but I agree that it's definitely far from final fantasy..

FFXIV's music doesn't come within 10,000 miles of FFXI's IMO.

I though we went over with this? He did not have much time to do the songs and only had picture to go by he did not even see the game how we seeing it now to do the songs. He even said once he saw it he wish he could made a few change here and there.

Apparently "we" didn't go over it.

Seriously? Well...maybe we'll get some new music with the dungeons? There are still some tracks that were found in beta that still havent been implemented as well.

well i wasnt just trying to say the music isnt good and thats it. im hoping they will notice this thread and make it better, change it to make it more fantasy like. the games being changed and improved and i think they should improve the music as well. and any other suggestions you guys have

[Ceons]

I'm sure he could adjust the music now. I mean this is like an open beta for all practical purposes. Not like the 'music' department of the development team have a whole lot to do :P Just a couple tracks for the new dungeons and thats in almost two months.

Honestly though, some of the tracks they haven't implemented yet or only implemented for a small segment are fantastic. Listening to the soundtrack out of game, it's pretty damn well up there.
