I wonder if FFXIV has always had boss themes have every 4 major beats be almost exactly a GCD. I know Insatiable and On Blade's Edge do it.

I can actually do rotations in Endwalker without even looking at my CD timers because of it. It's amazing.
@Felthry Global Cooldown. (Almost) every ability in FFXIV puts your entire character into a cooldown period where you can only move; not act in any other way. The GCD is 2.5 seconds, and is reduced (a little) by stats.

So a very large number of songs in the soundtrack time signature such that every four notes is 2.5 seconds.

@trysdyn Ah, you were talking about music so i thought about the notes G, C, and D and thought you were saying something about the chord structure or something
