Final Fantasy XI - The Music Mod Collection

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

1. DO NOT enable any options for the zone you are currently in. This includes residential districts if you have Enable city-state BGM in residential areas. turned on in Sound Settings. Doing so WILL crash your game. It is a limitation of how SCD files are cached, and there is nothing I can do about it.
2. Only load this mod in your default collection. Do not load it in any character specific collections. It will not work. This is a purposeful design limitation of Penumbra.
3. For reasons unknown to me, choosing multiple options for a zone then loading into that zone may cause only one of the mods to apply. You will either need to play the "None" track on the Orchestrion plugin, stop it, and wait 5 seconds before returning to the zone or restart your game if this happens, I'm sorry, SCD files are weird.

With that out of the way, hello, and thank you for having a look at my first ever music mod! With the FFXI alliance raids coming soon, I thought now would be the perfect time to invoke nostalgia in other FFXI fans, and introduce everyone else to Vana'diel's fantastic music and surrounding arrangements it received over the years. This mod uses a selection of quite varied music, and I've tried my best to keep within my perceived "vibe" of each zone.

Please see the options list itself and the information in each option for which tracks are replaced and where, and what album you can find those tracks as a part of if you wish to give them a purchase and listen to them outside the game!

I am very much interested in feedback, and if you would like a song added to the mod for a particular zone, feel a track is too loud or too quiet, loops incorrectly, or just want to listen to an old man ranting about FFXI for many hours, please feel free to reach out! I can be reached on discord at the user dtr, please preface your message request with what you are messaging about, I get a lot of spam.

Known Issues:

None! :D
