Title theme for my JRPG

A violin and cello duet with orchestral accompaniment. Title theme for my JRPG "Relics of Centralia".
I based it on my older composition "Death and Destruction", because I thought the melodic ideas were good but the structure and harmony were poor. I added more interesting modulations and tonal progressions, and made the harmony more cohesive by writing everything on piano first. It was also inspired by Octopath Traveler 2's title theme.
I focused on making the song as groovy as possible. As such, I employed a constant quarter note rhythm in 4/4 to ground the composition, and juxtaposed syncopated melodies and basslines against it to create motion.
I also gave the violin a swinging feeling by delaying the downbeats. Apparently, delaying a solo instrument's downbeats relative to the rhythm section increases swing.
As this is the title theme, I wanted the song to be more listenable. As such, I decreased the drum dynamics slightly from my typical dynamic and refrained from spamming cymbals.
I will start uploading gamedev videos soon. I expect a playable prototype for the battle system to be completed in 3 months.
