PLAY! Concert - Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross

[neverlash]

I cried on 1:46

[lLucasFinch]

This is incredible, an epic songs that marked my childhood and still shake my feelings and memories of a part of my life now, but that will never be forgotten or erased. When I hear these songs, all these good feelings with him and bring back the nostalgia of a very happy time in my life. Chrono Cross is part of my life.

[benjigoenitz]

John Travolta is an awesome drums player!!

[Kuria]

I just came here so I can see John Travolta working them drums at 2:38 .

[GrovyleXShinyCelebi]

So which one's better? Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross.

[ImARocker75]

@GrovyleXShinyCelebi

Chrono Trigger is the only game that REALLY deserve 10/10

on the other hand Cross is JRPG at it's Finest.

[Grantien0479]

@GrovyleXShinyCelebi Chrono Tross

[DudeFromRO]

Motherfucking scars of time. Memorieeeeeessssssss.....

[westcoastg714]

In my 21 years of gaming I'm just now playing Chrono Trigger for the first time. And I'm loving every minute of it, as I play it I wonder, why the Fuck did I not play it sooner. Hearing this gives me chills in a good way.

[FarmerDoom]

@westcoastg714 For real, why the fuck did you not play this sooner? I love this game so much, it brings back memories of a simpler time.

[woodyfly]

I've been going around the related videos to watch the drums guy play. Man he's a frigging beast and so is the rest of this orchestra. This is some real beautiful music, unlike what we have nowadays in the mainstream where they just synthesize some crap in a computer program and put a catchy dance with it.

[CrossofTrigger]

Just amazing!!! Thanks, thanks it´s all i can say!

[TheEmanfang2]

FUCK YEAH

[XxFantomzx7xX]

WOW

beautiful makes me wanna learn..

[apocolisp]

unfgsfdll..... fucking teared up at 1:50 . wow.

[ZeroTallgeese]

i wish i was there to hear it live :D

[deth2munkies]

For reference:

1) Reminiscence 0:00

2) Chrono Trigger Theme (Chrono's theme) 1:46

3) Scars of Time (Chrono Cross Intro) 3:54

4) Frog's Theme 6:24

5) To Far Away Times (Chrono Trigger ending theme) 6:59

Good performance, though IMO songs 2-4 were muted due to some combination of arrangement, recording, and orchestra makeup.

[shane8109]

Man I can't believe I'm saying this but I would have been there if I had the chance. Loved both games.

[kur0suto]

what is the name of this song?! omfg ive known of this melody for...since i was in 6th grade...im 24 now...12+ years! what is the name?!

[demo2382]

I wonder if these people even played the games lol.

[MJevermore]

And with yours!!!! john travolta at drums!!!!

[littlebigplanet456]

SQUARE ლ(ಠ益ಠლ Y U NO MAKE SEQUEL

[eakradio]

One of THE best RPGs out there...CHRONO TRIGGER! Many will say Final Fantasy because of the commercial success of it, but back in the SNES days, the storyline, multiple endings and death of a main character was really emotional! Love this vid!!

[mv1701]

MITSUDA AND UEMATSU ARE UFOS



[JOSMANCARCHA]

DON'T CRY :') BEATIFULL MEMORIES

[lalalasumboi]

YOURE RIGHT IT'S DULL.

[waynebradychokeabtch]

By all means, this video needs millions of views. Agree?

[monkeyboy409]

@waynebradychokeabtch SCREW THAT MAKE IT GOOGOL!

[CapuuStarcraft]

my first favorite and my last

[ZabuzaBMR]

move on*

[ZabuzaBMR]

To everyone who keeps saying that HERP DERP SQUARE SHOULD GO BACK: No, they shouldn't. You know why these songs mean so much to us? BECAUSE THEY'RE GONE. THEY'RE MEMORIES, AND THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. No amount of effort will possibly bring this era of our lives back. We have to move one people, and this is supposed to be a guide, and not a goal.

[braintheif90]

@ZabuzaBMR wow... well said and after a bit of thinking, i have to agree. i have seen the remake of ocarina and... it feels dated sad forced not the same besides... the fandumb will probably shriek"OMFG1 THIS CRONO REMAKE SUXXXX1! " so lets leave memories safe in our head

[DukeUuito]

Not gonna lie, totally got chills when Frog's theme came in.

[ramune79s]

音楽は枠組みを超えるね

awesomeって言葉につきるよ

[Jefler9191]

03:03 til 03.33....it's pretty awesome!!!...

[ReiFukai]

My all time favorite orchestra of this song! Especially the begining :)

[GameGold500]

If I were there, I would have cried

[dravenenslaved]

talk about a fuxking masterpiece :D

[a1sauses]

Chrono trigger + iOS = $9.99 on app store

[woodyfly]

2:39 haha dude is so into it. I would be too lol.

[krnannable]

ty for crono crosss

[DerpofDoom]

and i JIZZED IN MY PANTS



[jambostringo]

what is the name of the part at the beginning?



[shingoumez]

@jambostringo The name of the overture theme is "Reminiscence -Feelings not Erased"-

[tija1012]

*.*

[KingGeigerI]

WoooHooo!!!!

[SuperCuriousFox]

Making this kind of music is great :)

[secgeneracion07]

:') ...

[a1sauses]

CHRONO TRIGGER IS COMING OUT FOR THE IPHONE!!!! square enix established this last week!!!!

[supersoniche]

@a1sauses Impossible. the screen is too small.

[JBantha]

@supersoniche lolol, actually it's bigger by resolution. hope you were trolling :P

[Cardcaptor1996]

6:26 epic :)

[SimonXR]

Could 3:05 possibly be Chrono Cross - Life? Wild guess, it's not the exact same notes, but still...

[Janzeleus]

@SimonXR Nope, it's not. :) Not sure of the exact song myself at the moment either but I'd say it's from Chrono Trigger's side. Still, not Life, that I'm sure of.

[shunshirou]

Almost cried. Chrono Trigger is part of whom I became.

[94LuderTom]

Chills

[jadestinger]

6:23 excuse me while I go change my pants...

[MrDrewseph]

When the first CT music started... woo. Goosebumps.

[KiwiDude7]

@MrDrewseph Haha same here man!



[rsuriyop]

LOL @ "John Travolta" playing drums =D

[uahjustin]

2:28 - total SportsCenter ripoff

[avitron142]

At 2:00. I forgot to tell you ;)

[avitron142]

Heh, you think this is good? Here's the BEST version of Frog's Theme on Piano -> ht tp://ww w.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhLu8KY­Pqo. HEAVILY underrated. Please watch!

[kurupted850]

What happened to music like this not just in video games but anywhere? Have we lost our creativity and pride?

[forkaren100]

Well, even if they don't know the games, music is music and any musician would like to play such marvelous melodies.

[Robocain1]

Beautiful.

[BearHockeyDotCom]

@MrQRU Really? Kefka?

[Raziel555666]

needs more cowbell

[MatthewAvello]

03:05 is where it's at. Love this music/game series.

[thirstysalt]

music of my childhood, bring a tear to my eye every time i hear this

[ImARocker75]

Thank god 4 YouTube

this is one of the most beautiful things

I've ever heard

[chrisviolet13]

i cried when the first note hit....damn squaresoft needs to make a damn sequel. *sniff* final fantasy my ass *sniff* serge and crono ftw.

[sb50ct]

The opening song is called "Reminiscence - Thoughts Not Forgotten" or "Reminiscence - Thoughts Not Extinguished".

[sb50ct]

If anyone wants to know the names of any Chrono Cross songs (not Chrono Trigger) just send me a message. I have the soundtrack and would be happy to help those who are curious. Only because I love the music so much!

[SoraRue19]

I want them to go back and remake threads of fate, chrono tigger and chrono cross!!! ALL wonders of works and all with great potential.

[NemesisMLT89]

i want a chrono cross sequel.....NAO

[viewtifulday]

Frog's Theme is so sick :D

[yukimura88s]

What is the name of the opening music?

[SupahMerror]

@yukimura88s Reminesence



[makrisj]

3:53 corridors of time

4:55 Time's Scar

whoa.

[mrteemumilto]

It is missing one of the main travelling tunes: The Corridors of Time and the Wind Scene. The ones played here are called 0:05 ? 1:46 Determination 3:05 ? 3:35 ? 3:55 ? 4:58 ? 6:25 ? 7:00 ? @constantlimit I used his uploads, but couldn't identify more!! These are either heavily edited or aren't from Chrono Trigger

[literacyscaresme]

@mrteemumilto These are both from Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

[harrymanbach]

Epic tears falling in my epic beard.

[mrteemumilto]

Chrono Trigger! Japanese game! 

[hlskklls]

hahaha! John Travolta playing drums!!!

[MrQRU]

Perfect reason why Squarenix (aka Squaresoft) should stop with bleeding the FF series dry. Go back to what made all of us love RPG's to begin with .Can you imagine a remake of Chrono Trigger on any of the new platforms ? Seeing Kefka destroy the world through the graphics of the 360 ? Get back to what made you great.

[seth2111]

@MrQRU I SO AGREE

[NeptuneKnives]

@MrQRU Hell yeah I think they're holding off till theyre really stuck financially because they know old gamers would pick up every1 of the old classics remade like FF5, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Trigger

[ZentetsukenVII]

@MrQRU I agree the new ones have just gotten worse and worse. I dunno how they would do a world map with good graphics though.

[krnannable]

@MrQRU amen me too square has lost its way

[michiyoyoshiku]

@MrQRU

Bleeding the FF Series dry...then you ask for a 360 FF VI remake.... UH............

[StupidGuhji]

@MrQRU no i cant because the 360 sucks. its a known fact that game graphics get dumbed down when its stretched across multiple discs like the 360 did with FFXIII. The PS3 on the other hand, is on blu-ray discs so it can handle having a remake of a game on 1 disc and not having the graphics dumbed down at all.

[StupidGuhji]

@MrQRU Also, you say bleeding the FF series dry and then you turn around and say they should make a remake of the games on the newer platforms with better graphics? you do realize you just contradicted yourself right? how is remaking a game not bleeding it dry?

[battheman777]

@MrQRU couldnt agree more. seems like a no brainer. The story, battle system, enemies...its all in place already. just make it look and sound better.

[ajta7]

@MrQRU remakes definitely didn'h make them great...

[braintheif90]

@MrQRU you mean lavos? yeah lavos on 360 graphics would be horrifically epic

[oloompop]

@MrQRU Fuck that. Give me Kefka in high-res DX11 on my PC.

[RiverMGS]

Madre De Dio. I cried.... Like a man

[TheSleyths]

Beautiful, Bellisimo, Hermoso, Magnifico, Solemne, Epico, Perfecto, Glorioso.

[seth2111]

@TheSleyths and even then...those words dont do this wonderful sound enough credit lol ^_^

[AnjekD]

1:47 i cried rainbow katanas T__T

[isaypwnsj00]

hi everyone! the guy in charge of the PLAY! symphony orchestra will be doing the zelda concert!!!! so if you want to see his work in action, go to the zelda concert in october!!!! i just hope they also do a play! concert here on the west coast so i can hear chrono trigger!

[mampupunit]

just like how i imagined the music would sound while i was playing it over and over again.

[RTSnRPGfreak]

FUCK FUCK FUCK WTH is going on with my fucking hand fuck i cant stop replaying this fuuuuuuckkk......sorry people

[sb50ct]

I have watched this video maybe 50 times in the last couple years. The music strikes some crazy chord in my soul, I swear. I grew up playing these games and it's true... there is no magic today like there used to be. Good times!!!

[LolGui]

The percussionist looks like an oompa loompa.

[agush22]

this is truly epic

[ErininFandub]

How beautiful.... *sob* *sob* ^^..

[NethosFear]

I would do anything to see a live show of this. Chrono trigger and cross are the best games in the world nothin comes close to them. Lets hope that chrono break will one day come out so the epic story of the C-team will live on

[laidchile]

@Miletos2 they have been shed

[austinthebookworm5]

The only modern JRPG that comes remotely close to the feeling of the Chrono games is Xenoblade Chronicles

[zyoshiro7]

@austinthebookworm5 really?why?I haven't play that game yet.

[austinthebookworm5]

@zyoshiro7

beautiful music & locales, strong story, awesome combat, +40 hour length and more

[LoboRsxS]

Best games of our time. These new RPG's are for the spaz generation who only care about flashy 3d scenes

[otakuoverdrive]

Ataraxia.

[trollsnot]

my skin went all tingly.

[itoumakoto1980]

ahh man, this brings me back, it hurts, damn it.

[RTSnRPGfreak]

THIS IS GREAT! the 1st time i listened to this, my tears almost came out at around 6.26.......

[lucbauer]

scars of time was horrible but they played the other songs beautifully

[MBJester1215]

You guys think "John Travolta" playing the drums is funny here, you should see him go in the Symphonic Fantasies - Final Boss Medley, go ahead look it up, I'll wait a minute. Watch the whole thing now. Solo at the beginning of One Winged Angel? Yeah that's right...epic. You can call this spam if you want, since I am recommending another video, but I'm only doing it because you need to witness that performance if you haven't already.

[carrijoletal]

i just need hear 5 seconds do click in like and favorite.

[gblmks]

I liked the part: 0:00 to 7:48

[34beret]

Cant even say how I love this song!

[lucbauer]

sensational

[daverevolutionist]

please what's the name of the first song :'D

[WeesnoosProductions]

63 people have no life



[DLK22]

Who the fuck disliked this?!

[cybersnake]

63 people have probably never actually played Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross.

[robeast91]

@cybersnake And don't understand the concept of music as an artform. Or music as entertainment.

Or music.

Or entertainment.

[BinaryDood]

63 is now the number of the devil

[EonStrife]

63 are thrown back in time to the big bang moment

[thousandblood]

ah memories

[richardos25]

Can someone tell me the name of the last song? #dta

[myohel0]

@richardos25 "To Far Away Times" - The ending music to Chrono Trigger. I highly recommend you check it out. It's quite beautiful :)

[richardos25]

@myohel0 Okay, thanks! Will check it out straight away :D

[doodsrslyWTF]

The only thing that bothers me is how obscenely high that piccolo is.

[DMonkey123]

I wonder if the musicians in the orchestra ever played Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross...lol

[DeusExFefnir]

@DMonkey123 i doubt, they would b crying too

[RoflMcaww]

@DeusExFefnir

ye i don't think they were allowed to play chrono trigger or chrono cross, it might ruin what they're trying to play.

[camelotradio]

Hell Yea Rock It :D \m/

[mithridatisftw]

those people who originaly composed those music are realy geniuses

[fendnemecyst]

Out of all those songs they played in this concert, only the music of the Chrono games sound like as if they were always meant to be played by an orchestra.

Beautiful... Yasunori Mitsuda would have been proud :)

[IgnizNova]

Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross & Travolta all in one vid , What More Could You Ask For?

[Kraziiz]

This is sooooooooo amazing to me, beautiful.

[darkman4811]

Wow! These guys sound really great! A well done tribute to my favorite game of all time. Chrono Trigger is without a doubt, in my opinion, the epitome of perfection. I would call it the " Wizard of Oz" of video games. An absolute masterpiece. i would so love to hear these guys do an orchestrated version of The Ocean Palace Theme. I always wondered what that song would sound like with an orchestra. i bet it would be awesome! :D

[ORTmusic]

Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which is electronic music inspired by great games such as Chrono Trigger. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!

[TaymonChris]

I didn't like the 7:47.

[DigitalSoju4u]

This gave me the chills

[Cardcaptor1996]

scars of time........we meet again :')

[SauloMotion]

John Travolta playing drums is hilarious

[dangviddd]

3:05 gave me goosebumps. best. game. ever.

[bahnko]

1:45 to 3:52

my favorite one

[jayc5413]

@bahnko This chapter in the orchestra is so Epic...I wish it could be remastered in some kind of perfect FLAC form. My favorite as well :)

[1obxeclipsedriver]

62 people pushed dislike to express their disappointment that YouTube doesn't have an "epic" button for something as awesome as this.

[ooweakingoo]

where is the fuckin EPIC button!!!?

im really pissed right now youtube...

[robTCGZ]

Infinite Awesomeness!!!!

[BoxOwatta]

Who is the beautiful person that arranged this? I know to thank Yasunori Mitsuda for the compostion, but this is such a moving and powerful arrangement.

[FuzWuz]

@BoxOwatta Mitsuda personally arranged this. Insane, I know.

[Miletos2]

MANLY TEARS. Manly tears... :')

[WingedLion85]

Friends... please, help me. I'm about to cry! Memories are echoing in both my mind and heart... the desire of life I can't live in this world.

Thanks Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, Thanks SQUARE!

[afbr12]

Faggot!

[lulymedina21]

I cried at the start of it! Very nicely done!

[hoennmasterwallace]

did crono die in chrono cross ?

[maniacchris]

@hoennmasterwallace no, he's barely in the game.

[callmejayorgod]

@hoennmasterwallace He was already dead when cross began, its a distance future.

[Raptormau]

this video is only that beautiful because these are certainly among the best games ever made.

[Crashlj]

goosebumps --through the whole song

I still love this game and this music

[Awesomenessico]

The second it got to 1:52, *NOSTALGIC IMPULSE RUNS THROUGH BODY*

[lulymedina21]

@Awesomenessico Oh GOD, That's completely true!

[dhaosthe7]

@TheLostTrumpeter

leap slash

[Hydrocarbonateable]

Woo, 6666th review! XD;

But seriously, the quality of this recording is great (however illicit), and the performance is stupendous. Did this make it onto one of the Play CDs?

[Cardcaptor1996]

The second one made me want to go fight some monsters >:D

[Falco098]

whats the first song?

[Nandonoikarus]

@Falco098 I think it's called Star Stealing Girl
