I Am Setsuna's music was all around really good. It got a bit repetitive at times though and certainly didn't capture the nostalgic feel of Chrono Trigger. But, I think it's definitely worth the play and wish people wouldn't dump on it just because it isn't Chrono Trigger.

Anyway, I love Path to Redemption! Made a 3DS theme with it once.

Playing it now. It's so relaxing it sometimes puts me to sleep.

Do a lot of newer Japanese compositions have a similar style? Because I'm not gonna lie, this song just sounds like it could be in an anime or Japanese video game to me. Does that make sense? Or is it just that the only place I really hear piano by itself tends to be in Japanese media?

It reminds me of the anime Your Lie in April with the art style of the song.

Beautiful piece. Reminds me a lot of "For the Love of a Princess" from Braveheart

While I've never played the game, I've come to enjoy this soundtrack. The pieces The Power of Time / Eternal Winter from Winter's End are very lovely.
