You know things are getting real when a great song comes on in an JRPG and they decide to have it play during battles too. This song is probably one of my favorites this year. It was super fun putting together, mainly because there was a genuine scenario behind it from the very start (for that little game idea of mine). May it bring all the emotional JRPG vibes (or whatever else). This is "Song That Plays When the Main Character Has Their Redemtpion Arc a Little Too Late". I hope you enjoy!
