It is quite hard to properly define dissonance. If you want to add tension to your music, you can use dissonance by using sus4 chords of extended chords such as 7 or 9 for example. What sounds best in my opinion is keeping the tension for a while before getting rid of it (going from a sus4 to the major chord for example). It appears you try to base yourself off Final Fantasy quite a bit, and they often use sus4 chords for tensions. For example, listen to the strings here. It's not the best example but you get a feeling of "relief" because the sus4 chord became a major one. On a side note, you can also use soundfonts to get rid of the awful midi sound while keeping the feeling the same, such as an SNES soundfont.
