Title
Unwavering Will
Description
Was not really feeling anything i made for the whole first week of the jam, but after playing through Birth By Sleep i got the inspiration for this sort of "hybrid orchestral" battle track.
The structure is roughly:
Intro | A | B | A | C | B | D | B | C | Outro
The structure of the track is 2 different "phases" of the fight, the first phase starting with a piano playing the main 6/4 rhytmic action part as an intro, and the second part/whole track ending with the same rhytmic part on piano again.

Well composed!
I gotta say adding the video also really helps elevating the piece as it fits great! Modulating helps it feel fresh and overally I feel like the composition is very strong. If I had to nitpick I did at first feel some sections be a bit repetetive but after listen more to it and having the video added it works great. As a video game soundtrack it's perfect.
Honestly one of the few pieces that I felt were close to perfection!
Thank you!
I agree with the repetitiveness. After i sketched out the parts with piano in a weird flow state, i sort of lost the "mojo" to come up with anything else, so here we are :D
It's really great what you've done. It's got a touch of Final Fantasy 8 about it. The 6/4 is remarkable and gives a punchy feel to your composition.
For me, it's perfect from start to finish!
Bravo !
Thanks!
The whole thing ended pretty heavily inspired by Nobuo Uematsu's music in Final Fantasy,
Your score was lowered because there weren't enough people to rate you (weird system…). Your RAW score puts you 3rd, and given your composition I could see you even higher.
I really like what you're composing, and I hope you'll be there at the next RMCC.
Very awesome track. It feels like an endgame boss fight.
