I like the dark atmosphere at the beginning, it feels really hypnotic, and I enjoy how the more heroic vibe builds up as the track goes on. The arrangement is really well done, and the switch at 1:50 was a nice moment! :)

Yo Kranox, I like this submission a lot, feels like there's real development across the whole piece. I think compositionally it's really strong and everything helps highlight the quite powerful melody that's been used. I think for me it sounds a bit muted in places because I think as some others have mentioned the balance is slightly off with the drums and horns etc. Nevertheless, a great job!

Aradhana's Weapon: The Astral LanceReally cool piece, nice synths entering later on in the track. Solid submission overall :)

Sword and the Gatesthis is a very strong, confident composition with a real sense of development - i feel like it successfully captures the transition from legend (with the orchestra) to present action (with more 'modern' synths). i do kinda wish that the brass had continued to hold the melody from 2:24 on, since the short stabs leave a lot of empty space during what feels like the climax of the piece. but that's just a way of saying that i like this track and wish it had gone even harder. overall, good work!

When It Rains (Godbreaker's Arrow)Like Noahrav mentioned that volumes were a bit too loud at parts for some instruments, and the percussion 02:23 could maybe be pushed a bit further in the room since they felt really dry and in your face compared to everything else.
The melodic stuff was really nice! I don't know if its the hybrid orchestra style you used on this, but listening to this really brought mind the music that League Of Legends uses for their esports tournaments.
Good stuff!

Fox Quest 2: The Blade Of LegendHad goosebumps listening to this ! The emotion and buildup were well conveyed, congrats on that. Great balance between orchestral and electronic elements, great narration. Love how you included this bird ambience in this.
Only downside I see are the trombones that have very sharp sforzandos, which make their melody difficult to listen. Some things were way louder than they needed to be (like the bass drop and the trombones sometimes)
May I ask how you did these percussions in the second trombone melody section ?

Dream-cleaving BladeI agree, thanks for your review of the song. Stocked that you generally loved it, but I do feel after listening to it after 3 days, that some parts do need better mixing, especially on deciding which gets how much volume... Thanks tho
btw the percussion I used was from Kontakt Lineage Percussions and basically destroying my midi keyboard playing that pattern :'>
I really love all the Strings & Brass you used, along with all the Percussion. Also, I really like the Muffled Birdsong in the background! This is probably one of my favorite Hybrid Orchestral songs I've heard... I'm, very impressed by your work!

DragonfireI Love It! It sounds like something I'd love to make sometime, if I could. Hybrid Orchestral/Ambient... Just What I Like.

DragonfireSytrus & Sakura are probably my favorite FL Studio Virtual Instruments, Along With Toxic Biohazard every now & then. Sytrus is really good for Ambient music, Sakura has some great Flute tones, & Toxic Biohazard has some very interesting sounds in it. I haven't been using it lately... I did use it in my first song, though, that was scrapped. You can still view that song on my page in the Legendary Weapons project... The song is called Sundial, based on the largest nuclear bomb planned, the Sundial, that was planned to be able to carry 10,000 Gigatons of explosive power. BTW, what did you use for the songbird Ambience? I really like how it sounds. I use a few Bird Ambience Patches from Omnisphere, but there's really only 2-3 that are really good.
In my opinion, the only good vst that FL has is sytrus. Other than that, maybe Toxic biohazard for some weird ambiance/plucky percussive sounds but thats it...
Maybe Maximus, but thats an fx chain...
The bird background I used was from Labs VST, and run it through Deelay vst with some minor adjustments on the treble side
