Hi, MikeViper here, with my monthly composition. This time I decided to write a battle theme that was inspired by the works of Hitoshi Sakimoto, best known for his works in Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics.

You can listen to it at the link below:

very good emulation of SRPG music. Snare and timpani felt a little stiff to me but maybe that was for a more SNES-like feel.

Feeling very nostalgic right now..

Fyi, you're mostly emulating the style of Masaharu Iwata here, not Sakimoto. ;)

Seems you were trying to build an ambiance, alas it's a bit meandering at times.
The piece could benefit from some humanization, and larger orchestra dynamics.
Harp is too loud/obnoxious and the lack of a proper ending is slightly disappointing.

Overall, this needs more impact because everything hits at roughly the same level.
There's a believable feel of tension, which is a good start for a battle theme.
Dunno whether you'll be revising this one, but best of luck if you do.
