It's haunting and beautiful.

Though I think The sustain and reverb are a bit much at times. Some of the notes in the lower register are not coming across clearly or are dominating the sound.

Or is this live? I can't be sure... I get the live sense with the sound of some of the higher notes.

this is quite good!

I love the dynamics and the changed harmony. I actually think the reverb/sustain fit the mood, though some of the lower notes at around 1:55 get drowned.

I like what you've done with Terra's theme. Some things to think about

I feel like the augmented feel you've got in the first harmony could be carried into the very first harmony change just because it doesnt feel like an intentional reversion to the softer less unsettling harmony from the original, if that makes sense.

Other than that, I think that the reverb and sustain work well for this piece, just watch for parts where it gets especially thick, since the left side of the mix gets a bit overbearing during some of those instances. I would try taking a close listen at the parts where you've got heavier ostinato going, and making sure that the repetitions arent drowning out the melody, and try giving them a bit of variation in velocity.

I'm a fan of the atmosphere especially. Very different feel from the original.
