You definitely got the Nier vibes down. I like the piano in concept, but it sounds a bit robotic, especially in the start. I think if you varied the note velocity and timings a bit it would be better. The best thing would probably be to record on a MIDI piano (or a real piano). Maybe it also needs some reverb to feel like it's in the same space as the bells.

As an alternative you could do the Nier Automata main menu theme thing, where they play one normal piano and a reversed piano at the same time to make it sound kinda creepy.

Very good composition overall, though!

as for reverb its just positioned more forward and does have reverb... as i use parallel reverb to have finer control over every instruments reverb while only using 1 reverb chain for max performance and max fine tuning,  and it has alot of manual variation in velocity and expression, i think i see i may need to change to a brighter piano vst to make those variations cut through more and maybe add some not off-set randomization, i did automate the tempo to try make it more expressive too but i think its overwhelmed in the mix. and that reverse piano thing, I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THAT... THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA!!! ill definitely do it on another project
