Sounds very epic.
Would sound even better with my headphones, but they're gone.
This is such a good song for an RPG game.
Titled well, executed well, good choices of instruments.
Love it.

Thanks!
Too bad your headphones are gone :P
Impressive
It's been nearly a year since I've done anything on Newgrounds, but I figured for a song as good as this, I might as well come out of retirement haha.
This is definitely an impressive mix. You blended together a nice repertoire of instruments from totally different groups, and the opening strings (that continued throughout much of the piece) worked to open the song.
I'll focus on my problems with it, because overall, the work was excellent. Compliments really aren't needed when you've attained this level of work.
The end was the largest sour point for me. I understand how this could be used in a game or as a loop, but I like it more when people craft songs for an individual listen. Though using cymbals in the end was satisfactory to end the work, I think maybe the strings from the beginning dimming out slowly in a decrescendo would've had a better effect. That's just coming from someone who loves strings though, so don't take that as an insult against your ending haha.
The instrument in the middle (some kind of wind instrument -- it's been awhile since I've done this kind of listening) that started to build in the music around the :20 mark was very well done, and I'm happy used a more traditional sound instead of a more modern guitar or something like that. The contrast between the old and the new in percussion and that instrument (whatever it was, it worked) was well done.
Congrats! This is an excellent piece of work, and I'm glad I chose today to randomly look at Newgrounds. It was worth it for this.

Now that's a review!
And yeah, maybe i could have made the ending better and smoother, but i'm not going to change this song.
I must thank you very much for this review. It was very helpful and nice to read.
Thanks!
