Final Fantasy XIV Score Discussion

[Ziero]

...wait, how is this an "unfortunate blow to Uematsu and Square Enix"? Nobody was making any money off of just the music at this point and people who torrented the OST ended up even more excited to get the actual game...which they will have to pay money for...once it comes out. No ones going to be all "I have the OST so screw the game" now, they're going to be "this music is awesome and the game will be too". Since when is free advertising, which this basically is, a bad thing?

SE didn't anticipate this happening? Really?

Oh they knew, they knew perfectly well. I doubt SE's people are crying too hard about the leaked OST, especially since they haven't really tried to get any of the sites hosting it to stop.

Uematsu: Yes, very good. Gobble it up my lemmings. /evilshenanigans
Uematsu: Tanaka-san, everything is proceeding exactly as planned.
Tanaka: /grin

They got (at least some of) it off youtube actually. Still, I don't think they really mind so long as they retain copyright, more hype for the game is free marketing as far as they're concerned.

The FFXIV Alpha OST v2 is now available.

[Francisco]

Can someone link me to this deliciousness via PM? Greatly appreciated.

[wintersquall]

absolutely loving the score so far. epic.

[Cairthenn]

The v2 has been available on my site since early yesterday.

Which songs were corrupted? I know number 19 was but other than that the others seemed fine.

[Tulun]

I've listened up to 26. The music is good; some tracks are pretty damn memorable and you can hear some old influences (26, if I remember, sounds very ff7esque...).

Their own fault but the music just makes me more excited about the game, so it's good free advertising :D

[Thiefami]

its like happy song...

I like it.


BTW its on grooveshark for now for those who don't/won't/ or can't download it. You can stream it. Not for long though I'd assume it will be deleted within the next 48 hours.

[wintersquall]

wish the songs didn't all cut off like that at the end, or did i d/l a crappy torrent? wanna loop some of the battle songs in the background during raid nights.

[FriemOcin]

The beginning of 3C reminds me of the Pirate's Cove from FF5, and the beginning of 1B is veeeery FF9.

[Lazytowner]

Guys shush keep it going. "OH MY GOSH WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING THAT'S TERRIBLE."

[FriemOcin]

Gosh, I really love 27. I think I'm starting to re-love Uematsu.

[Thiefami]

Gosh, I really love 27. I think I'm starting to re-love Uematsu.

sounds like enya lmao

[FriemOcin]

What is this "Enya"?

[Drac]

He uses a lot of electronic stuff in this compared to older FFs, hoping we have some "normal" ones for areas at least.

[KuroTsuki]

I love how a lot of these sound like FFIX stuff. Especially the battle theme-type song 1B.

[bori]

Sorry, anyone can PM a link to the OST?

Thank you

[Drac]

I'm really liking 38 now
