I think that all depends on what you're trying to convey. I like the harsh contrasts here, but they're defintly not right for every mood. If you wanna explore that style more, you could try to challange yourself and write a piece of music that is as contempt as can be without being boring. Something more serene. I think the important thing is that there is some connecting element and you got that with that theme from the beginning, that keeps on reoccuring.
Did you really just start working on that after listening to my track? That means you're very, very fast :D That it inself is pretty impressive. I like you're work of different contrasts. (I especilly like the part were the tuba plays and then the whole orchestra follows and it repaets itself) Some melodies of yours are better then others in this track. But overall that is pretty impressive and the orchestration is also pretty creative, my first orchestral tracks were really terrible with orchestration. If I can give you a generell tip regarding staccato samples though: Have every other note a bit quiter and always the one the strongest and loudest regarding velocity. It is hell to programm that, but it sounds waaay better. If you wanna keep doing stuff in that style, I can recommend you this forum http://scoringcentral.mattiaswestlund.net/ There I learned a lot about that stuff and the community is very helpful and they also give tips on where to find good samples :)
Cheers!
If you need more specific input, I can give it a relisten.
Hey, I'm somewhat interrested depending on some details, like how music you would want and stuff like that. The game series you mentiod all have amazing osts, that I'm a big fan of. If you wanna check out some of my music, here is a link to a song https://soundcloud.com/iktorraus/the-summoning It's pretty variad and gives an impression of the different styles I feel comfortable with regarding fantasy themed music. If you're interrested just drop me a pm and we can discuss further details :)
Yeah sounds good, go for it :) I'm looking forward to hearing the results.

Ah thanks guys.
@Spring: I appreciate the compliment, but I think we make such vastly different music, that it's really hard to compare.
