The beginning made me feel like Final Fantasy IX - something about your piece just hit that very specific nostalgia for me.
The end of the piece is coming very unexpected, I think you could have "turned off" the instruments one by one to lead to an end, gone for a big crescendo with a change in the harmony to suggest a big finale coming, or even just simply faded out slowly. As it is, the end is somewhat jarring.
At 0:45 you are developing the perfect opportunity for something to fundamentally change in the piece - something about the instrumentation, the harmonies... It was a little sad that it was basically just a rest and then the drone is a little more prominent than before.
Overall, I think you did a good job with this piece.
