You've got the JRPG thing absolutely down, and I did enjoy the two different forms of the boss themes as well - I can imagine them overlapping seamlessly. Clever stuff, really enjoyed the listen! Great work!

Description
When I saw the prompt, I was immediately hit with JRPG vibes and I used that genre's music as inspiration for what I created, blended with my specialization of orchestral music and EDM.
My submission includes a main theme, a menu theme, an area theme, and 3 boss themes (2 with adapted "thinking" variations that play while selecting an attack)
The (for lack of a better nickname) "Eel" boss is encountered early game and is somewhat of a "tutorial" boss, where the player is getting used to the battle system.
The Rune Guardian is a machine-like monster made of stone that dwells inside a cavern, guarding a key item needed for progression.
The Scourge of the Mind is the Big Bad Evil Guy. I wanted the theme to capture the main character's optimism in battle.
Message from the artist
That's my concept that I composed along with my soundtrack. I really hope you all enjoy it.

(Yes, this message is also on the game page. Wasn't sure I'd get the opportunity to put it here as well, sorry about that!)

How does it fit the theme?
The underwater sense gave me a vision for the areas and bosses I would conceptualize, and my work on this soundtrack takes inspiration from JRPG titles, which fit the mood of the artwork. The word prompt inspired names of the soundtrack and of the final boss.
