What is this song?

It's been driving me crazy. I think it's from a video game, but I just cannot place it. PLEASE HELP. You can hear it here. (Played on keyboard, not the original song on anything.)

That sounds very much to me like a Final Fantasy kind of song. I haven't played the franchise in over ten years,, so maybe one of the releases around 2005?

X-Files theme?

Sounds like a memory of the x-files theme. I think that fshgrl has it.

Doesn't remind me of Final Fantasy but it does remind me of Secret of Mana a bit, seems close to I Closed My Eyes but also the Chrono series seems to have some music that is a bit haunting like that, such as Guldove - Another World. It could be one on there, there are a few that kinda sound like the clip.

Maybe someone on a sub reddit dedicated to gaming might know; I definitely think it's a song from a game, not a crossed over memory from something else.
