Definitely captures early JRPG vibes for me, but that dissonant chord just isn't really doing it for me, it's like you're setting up a feeling of something being grand or intimidating, but then it falls flat and there's no payoff for that buildup. I apologize if I'm not explaining myself well.

I do like what the song transforms into halfway in, definitely creates a mystic, empirical feeling, like a battlemage's tower or a king's castle.

Yeah, it definitely has a rpg feel to it, it reminds me of Fire Emblem and Zelda, maybe in the beginning when you see those little animations showing off the game's story. I don't have much else to say, it's just well done.
