Awesome! VG Music?
Its very interesting!
Hmm, let me say that it does very much give me a video game kinda feel, in a couple different ways, but I can also imagine the first half being used in a more thoughtful Anime series. I do think it sounds very Eastern, like asian, which is why I mostly see it as videogame/anime type music. It kinda conjures up epic scenery, or a journey in my mind!
Anyhow! It really does "FEEL" like MMO music in the first half, were MMOs an influencer for you? Or asian culture somehow otherwise? From about 2:10 afterwords it REALLY gives off a Castlevania type feel feel, but defenitely not the creepy gothy sort. More like if Castlevania and Legend of Zeldas scores collided...it must be the flute~
Cool piece :P
