Repetitive Soundtrack

Recommended Posts

It is just me or the soundtrack is really repetitive? After playing FFXIV ARR I feel like the soundtracks here is not that great, and I didn't hear anything new at all since the release of the game. As a musician the music is a huge part of the game. Can't you guys create something new? Are there new tracks on the expansion? Why can't we have theme songs for important bosses? Every single fight, every single raid have the same tracks.

 

Someone else feels bothered by that?

 

Take care :D

Actually there has been quite a few new tracks added since the game released. I'm pretty sure there is also as many if not more tracks than FFIV: ARR Music in this game the music works different I believe, as there is musical cues for certain dialogue options, and based on certain classes ect. And I think the soundtrack is meant to be like the Star Wars films where music enhances the story and the scene, not creating the focus.

 

Now for a list of new tracks to keep your ears open for:

1) Terror from Beyond: Final Boss has a theme of his own I believe Kephis before has the same theme, it is short and kind of repetitive but it's brand new.

2) Makeb: There is quite a few new tracks with this planet, some variation of the entrance music, and the general theme, along with Republic and Imperial themes using the instruments for the Makeb theme.

3)Oricon/Dread Fortress/Dread Palace: There is a new theme for the moon in the daily area, there is also two different "boss" versions that play when you fight the Dread Masters in Dread Palace, and Brontes in Fortress.

4)Manaan: while both the planet area and the flashpoint use just copy music from KOTOR it is brand new tracks that were not in the original game.

5)Rakata Prime: Some repeats from KOTOR as well, but I swear there is some small new tracks like when you are running on the stretch of beach after that lagoon area at the start. The repeats from KOTOR seem to be rehanged or redone, especially for the battle theme during the second boss at Rakata Prime has some instruments I don't hear when listening to the original KOTOR soundtrack.

 

New music is there just not in your face as much as other MMOs, but I too hope they try and add more tracks for every update and not just a small amount for big brand new content.

Arkous & Darok vocalizations during the boss fight on Rakata Prime are the worst...

 

Arkous

"They're yours Darok!"

"They're yours Darok!"

"They're yours Darok!"

"They're yours Darok!"

"They're yours Darok!"

 

Darok

"You've gotta do better than that!"

"You've gotta do better than that!"

"You've gotta do better than that!"

"You've gotta do better than that!"

"You've gotta do better than that!"
