I groan every time they play “Machinations” in a cutscene. Easily the most overused cutscene song in the game, and it’s a 45 second loop. And it plays in rest areas in Northern Thanalan!Nope. Ragnarok Online.
Final Fantasy XIV has a lot of really good music, but it loses points because it uses the same few songs over and over again in cutscenes.
Oh dude I hate Machinations. I was so done with that song. My other nominations for groan inducing, overused music are: Imperial Will (We get it, Empire Bad) and Cheeky/Bliss, which only exists to let you know that you're about to witness another poor attempt at humor that you can safely skip over.I groan every time they play “Machinations” in a cutscene.

Nearly as bad is the track they had on a 60 second loop for like, two hours during the part in Endwalker where you’re wrapping things up in Labyrinthos.
The desert music is probably my favorite track from RO. Such a fantastic song. Captures the mood perfectly, and I always think about those honking pecopecos when it comes up on my playlist.
WoW music is so boring to meWorld of warcraft says hi
Not to meWoW music is so boring to me
And FFXIV laughs in its face.World of warcraft says hi
It's good. But Vanilla>WOTLK is peak MMO soundtrack, imo.
Yes, your interpretation is correct. The damage is extensive, considering Coerthas was a more temperate locale akin to Germany prior to that event. It was extensive enough to give the region eternal winter. It also made the elementals in the Black Shroud pretty impotent, nigh irrelevant. It was actually nice to see the developers revisit the elementals in one of the major sidequests in Endwalker.You know,
There was something I've been wondering about.
What extent was Eorzea damaged during the battle of Carteneau? Obviously it was pretty fucked up since there is debris all over the continent. But some of the dialogue in the conversation with Louisoix implied that the major cities were destroyed and everyone died, but he brought them back with his Phoenix powers? Is this the correct interpretation?
FFXIV has an incredible soundtrack to the point that it's stupid to even list them because there are so many good ones.
I am a little surprised that WoW is receiving some support; Blizzard itself considers the game to have more of an atmospheric soundtrack than a musical one.
WoW has some standouts:
Howling Fjord, Wintergrasp [Night], Grizzly Hills, Invincible, and Lament of the Highborne. Outside of that I've never been overly impressed with the soundtrack, and I've played WoW for 18 years, and FFXIV for 12.
Topics like this make me go WTF and question whether the people posting have actually played more than one mmo
heck FF11 had a better OST than FF14. Ragnarok Online still wins though
FF XIV has great music, but it's all a bit flashy for me. I prefer simple, groovy, melody driven stuff like this over over-the-top melodramatic choruses any day of the week.
Yes. Those tend to be my favorite tracks.It absolutely has that kind of music by the spades as well. Almost every zone is simple melody driven stuff. Many dungeons are melody driven. Its usually only reserved for raids/bosses for the super epic choirs.
FFXIV audio for me dont feel well tought out, audio feel like a roller caoster.
Audio guy wake up from heavy drinking and said hey! lets put some heavy metal here and some pretentious choir there.
I grew up on 10,11,12 audio, even 7-9 had great music. SQUARE plz put some good tunes in 16, tell the audio guy to dont do too much.
hear this? days have spent camping monsters hearing the same damn tune, its simple and can hum along. *spotify playlist >_>*
Agree with this. This is why Uematsu is the God of JRPG composing. His music is simple but with a clear melody and mood to it. Soken is just opposite of that. He goes overdrive too easily and too many tracks end up being a mess of instruments going at it at once. When I listen to Soken, I'm just lost on what the intended mood besides "this is epic" is. Not impressed by anything I've heard in FF16 aswell...FF XIV has great music, but it's all a bit flashy for me.
