    FFXIV Character

    Umami Spitebreath (Kujata)

    Default do you music hack FFXI?

    hmmm.

    fraid I have to say I dont.

    I like the locales that have an eerie wind sound rushing through the locations cliffs and tunnels etc.

    and... I would probably get rid of some of the compositions I hear often (excluding the battle themes because they kick ass anytime) like... probably the city themes and change them to something more ambient.

    Music Hacking is pretty redundant. If you want to listen to something other than the normal game music, your best bet is to disable the sound in the config menu and use your favourite media player.

    Change the ingame music, and you'll probably end up hating whatever you changed it to aswell.

    Why hack the music? Just go in the options menu and lower the "music" all the way down. Now turn on some music with your computer stereo or whatever.

    PS: I know what you mean though. I do like the other FF musical scores better than XI. Though Selbinas theme is pretty cool. Other than that, and a couple others...eh.

    Only music I would want the change would be the new BC music for ToA and make it on THE WHOLE TIME. I hate how when you engaged it changes. >.< It sounded so cool till you engage.

    Like others have said: turn down the music and start up a media player.

    I turn down the music in-game and run winamp. Or I just set my stereo system to CD instead of PC, and listen to albums.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    I like the music in some areas, in others I play media player in the background and turn down the music of the area...

    But I hardly call it hacking

    i like some of the bg music in certain areas of the game, but even if i didnt like it, i cant turn the music down while playing ffxi. listening to something other than the bg music distracts me from the game.

    I was just goofing around with it and put funky town as the battle theme

    I changed it sooo many times i think right now i have "Light" by KMFDM looping for my battle music, but its funny to have the calm tranquil town music or the wind sound then KMFDM busting out for the battles :evilking:

    you have to edit the code in the game itself and convert music files to a specific format to use, its a long process finding the right file to edit but its fun as hell to hear funky town in say selbina or while fighing or Closer by NIN for moghouse or airship music ...

    Google : FFXI + Music + Hack

    Good luck

    Is there a way to use this music hacking thing, to like... Get the music OUT of the game? So you can play it whenever?
