From the old thread:

If you're a dirty plugin-user like me, the Orchestrion plugin was updated to allow replacing one song with another, or even to disable a specific song or set of songs from playing entirely. It comes with an option to put the currently playing song in the server info block and/or echo the current song to the chat log on song change.

You might have to let it use song IDs as not all the songs from Endwalker have public names at this point in time.

links please

Kind of related to that, is anyone planning on actually quitting the game now that the core story is over? I'm sure a lot of people have a 'wait and see' attitude to it, but does anyone actually feel like yeah that was a satisfying capstone to my experience with this game and I think that's a good time to check out? I'm not, but I could understand the impulse.

I'm generally of the opinion that tab targeting/gcd based mmo combat is pretty well tired and done for me, and because the game is restricted to 2d, that puts a hard limit on what they can do with the 'don't stand in the fire mechanics' when coupled with the general inflexibility of the engine as a whole to do other interesting interactive bits.

Which is a long nerdy way of saying while I adore FFXIV, the world, the story, the music, the callbacks, the characters, I'm entirely satisfied with what they built from 2.0 to 6.0, so if 6.1+ to 7 shows a route I'm not engaged with, I could see potentially checking out.

The gameplay is absolutely not what keeps me playing. Every dungeon in the game is 'gather trash, aoe' and then some mix of don't stand in the fire (or do, because it barely matters in non ex/savage content in many cases) and push buttons in something approximating a rotation (or just push buttons, because again, barely matters in most content).

I am *extremely* excited for FF16 and potentially FF17. I could see them going down some kind of pseudo-MP monster-hunter style multiplayer, rather than a pure MMO in the future, and I would be 110% onboard with that kind of action. Modern gameplay, modern graphics, mixed with all the other strengths they've built as a team in the years since 14 2.0 and 15's mess, with some elements of multiplayer but without the monstrous logistical and technical burden that creating an MMO causes (though that said if they announce a new one I'm totally down with that too :v:)

Really I think the franchise was in a messy state for a decade+, so I'm pretty excited to see what they can do with firmer footing and a stronger hand at the helm.
