Always love your work; the orchestration is always
I think I'm in a different camp, as I'll always prefer wetter sounds and the idea of the orchestral piece playing live in a hall, which your pieces always give off!
This is a solid JRPG-style story: peaceful village, coming-of-age ceremony, sudden attack, revenge quest with childhood friends. The story has some genuinely effective dark moments; Justo's parents being dead and fused into the machines that attacked the village caught me off guard (since you said *I* went pretty dark in mine haha!) And the ending, where the heroes choose to destroy all the ancient technology instead of using it for power, feels more mature and responsible than I expected from such a trope-heavy plot, and lowkey I can't relate; I want more power lol. Plus, the self-awareness about running out of time was relatable.
Great video and music!
