So I'm curious. As someone who primarily plays a Bard for the purpose of RP, I'm messing with some macros so I can perform songs while in character. I've joined a very small LS of others, on the premise that we may get together at some point and do concerts and such.
Presently, I have a short list of songs from various musical genre that I'm looking at using, and by that I mean most of them originate outside of FF in general and may come from various RL sources. The idea is to use songs which fit the feel of the game, and ones which ALMOST fit but reference a RL location or concept would have lyrics altered just enough to fit the setting of the game.
However, I have heard it said by a fellow Bard player that people tend to dislike it when songs are used which are not specific to Final Fantasy. Why is this, I wonder? Is it because many of the non-FF songs aren't adapted to the setting when someone uses them, or simply because they're not related to the series in any way?
How do people feel about this? Because if I'm going to do something like this, I'd rather do it in a way which isn't going to offend.
