Very beautiful! Excellent use of the violin and string stabs to convey a sense of adventure. Also, the breakdown with the futuristic high hats into the singing was just beautiful and a joy to listen to. I'll always love the combination of futuristic sounds paired with orchestral instruments because it reminds me of Final Fantasy 13 which is one of my favorite OSTs of all time. It's funny I had a version of my submission with a very similar mix of orchestral instruments and futuristic-sounding instruments but I ended up scrapping it due to it not sounding like it fit the picture theme well. Anyways, such a great submission!

Thank you!!! Listened to a bunch of FF tracks so I totally get you, futuristic sfx + traditional/ethnic instruments is always satisfying. I get you on the direction part, kinda had to get it to fit later on so I was just staring at the picture for a while. Would love to hear that direction if you go with it in future submissions, still think you did it really well nonetheless!
if you are interested in what they sounded like, here's a private SC link to them. Lemme know what you think of them if you decide to give them a listen. link: https://soundcloud.com/riku-ito-56520983/sets/v1-1/s-hh8NCteZjRc?si=4b1564bf32ec...
Checked them out, love them completely: Definitely hear the FF stuff (13 or 14) esp with the build up, def with the flute runs! It feels a lot busier than the stuff in Tides of Fate, big fan of both directions but im definitely biased towards these just for the filtered percussions, synths, and long delays;
Also what's the perc at 0:24 in Battle? I've been trying to re-create metal-y tone stuff by processing anvil hits and it never sounds good
Thanks. The metal sound is called a Steel Plate. It was included in my EastWest educational plan (which is 20 dollars a month) in the Symphonic Orchestra Percussion pack. I really liked how it paired with the Bass Drums as well. It surprised me with how much impact and energy it adds when paired with something low-frequency so it was a cool find in my percussion kit.
