Best VGM 201 - Chrono Cross - Time's Scar (Opening)

[FishingAtTheBeach]

I should probably play this... It's probably the best game I've never played and I've played them all.

[lndcruz]

Chrono Trigger is a better game, but Chrono Cross soundtrack is the best.

[MeatballMerger44]

wish my uncle would give in and let me borrow one of his memory cards. i cant play this without one!!!

[TehGamerZXD]

I've never played this game before but somehow this tune seems very very familiar... maybe i heard this in a dream?

[1KuroiMori6]

@TehGamerZXD have you played Shadow Hearts: Covenant sometime? The beginning of the tune sounds almost exactly like SH:C's town theme.

[Mattashi]

@TehGamerZXD Have you played Chrono Trigger? the part that starts at 1:33 sounds allot like the main theme from it :)

[Fyre09]

I love Chrono trigger way to much to ever accept this as a true followup but, the music in this game is effin mad.

[chrishughes724]

It's on PSN for 10 bucks, don't miss out on getting it!

[damchovic]

hmmm... is it possible to rip the audio soundtrack from a psx .rom file? I can remember that the psx had a mediaplayer where you could listen to a games' music.

[kinouro]

@damchovic Google "chrono cross soundtrack.rar" - tadaaaaaaaa!

[damchovic]

@kinouro nah, seems like you can find many ost on torrent sites :) should be a bit safer than a .rar file ;)

[kinouro]

@damchovic But can you find seeds for it? Every album I have gotten from MF/MU/4Shared/RS has been 100% fine. If it helps you can just scan it before opening.

[damchovic]

@kinouro just use piratebay or other torrent sites, should be just as fine, mostly with just enough seeds.

[kinouro]

@damchovic I use Demonoid, Nyaa.eu, Tokyotosho and IPtorrents, but never for albums since they're so much quicker to get by just grabbing them from a free upload site. Piratebay is an assload more dangerous than these files.

[nintendo1889x]

*Cough* ePSXe *cough*! Sorry, I have the black lung.

[leandroprete]

I can't stop listening to this little piece of heaven!!!

[nf219]

I played Chrono Cross I think more than 8 years ago.. Man, I loved this piece so much that whenever I started up Chrono Cross on my old Playstation, I would watch the intro everytime before I actually started playing my save file.

These are such good memories

Thanks, SupraDarky, for reminding of those memories

[unthunder22]

Is this is on PSN yet or what? Goddamnit..

[DefenderOfTheCrownX]

beautiful

[aronbeagley]

Love it!!

[NagaKB]

one of the greatest VGM ost ever

[Shitsocash]

7 dislikes were by pricks and fagots, anyone that isn't one of the two has give it thumbs up.

[austinthebookworm5]

@Shitsocash

nah... all the gays would have liked it as well

[Shitsocash]

@austinthebookworm5

Exactly, gays would, that's why only pricks and fagots gave it thumbs down, lol.

[austinthebookworm5]

@Shitsocash

... faggots?

whatever; AMAZING SONG!! MITSUDA YOU GOD

[numenespirit]

ME TRANSPORTO A OTRO REINO CON ESTO! ES HERMOSO!

[NakaNorega]

MY favorite song ever i herd this song when i was a kid and i loved it ever since and it is the best. the song was the best part of the game and i am going to play it someday and a thanks to the makers for the inspiration.

[Vercalos]

Quite simply, this is my favorite part of the entire game, hands down. I did enjoy the game itself, but I do believe I've watched the intro more than any-Scratch that, of course I watched the intro more than any other part of the game. I have to get through the intro to get to the game.

[GoblinsStillExist]

There are 7 people who time forgot.

[MtMarshi]

@WHATAMALAYSIAN What on earth is so loserish about great nostalgic memories? its awesome dude. I remember getting up in the middle of the night once cos i realised how to get vincent on ff7. Ah good times

[Friisck]

@1KuroiMori6 yes, they have the same composer (yasunori mitsuda). I think it was the main theme also town theme from sh2. Does he lack creativity these days?

[joshuavideogames]

In my opinion, the greatest video game soundtrack of all time. 

[gunslingerfry]

This is the best Yasunori Mitsuda song, bar none. It is full of power, emotion, dreaminess, adventure, and focused drive. This song is as epic as they come.

[1KuroiMori6]

I always start thinking about Shadow Hearts: Covenant when I hear this theme... am I the only one?

[CheyenneUchiha]

@1KuroiMori6 awwww no ur not!!!!

[ShakaSamurai]

chrono trigger has some good songs too, another really good song is "trunks theme" from the ps1 game "ultimate battle 22"

[nusmdu1117]

Mitsuda is emotional. Kikuta is mysterious. Kenji Ito is dramatic.

[zerocloudgt]

this games soundtrack has to be up there in my top 5 of favorite soundtracks ever. good shit

[LudgeONRS]

The beginning of this song always makes me think I'm listening to "Epic Tale of a Holy Death" from Valkyrie Profile XD

[chrishdzmoron]

this song reminds me of simpler times

[GTcole]

Man this is song awesome!

[Alexx1083]

I remember when I first saw the trailer for this game. They played this song, and I barely watched the trailer. Hell, I played the trailer over and over in the background so I could hear this. I mean, I liked the game, but the soundtrack was friggin' amazing. This will forever be one of (if not the) ultimate adventure song.

[brandons3]

the very start sounds like a naruto song

[pogopopex4]

GOD I MISS THIS GAAAAAAAAAAAAME SO MANY POSSIBILITIES

[MisterlCreep]

@pogopopex4 Get an emulator :D

[PainlessTragedy23]

Douchebag!

[PainlessTragedy23]

yeah but roms are better no worrying about the disc stratching and having to replace it. Itwas a Sony Scam trust me. I should know - Cartridges was always better. Emu the Game we all bought this game if we didn't we didn't know shit about games. Why do we even own a Playstation if you missed out on this game. You was a major Douchbag. Chrono Cross was the shit back in the Day and still is!

[LooneyTunesFan80]

@hotbun4 It was a poor excuse of a sequel.

[darkhady]

the best graphic for PSX

[RadicalEdwardBK]

Fuckin' game is DANK~!!!!!!!!! I miss the days of when I played games for the first time, it's just so magical~ T.T

When I got this, I was 8-10 years old, I think~ I was in New Hampshire visitin' family with my Ma an' Dadda, an' we went to the Flea Market to say bye to my Nan. So I'm lookin' around, an' this guy had a stand COVERED in video games~ X3 Well, I had to pick between this and Final Fantasy Tactics, guess what I chose~ X3 I ogled that bitch the entire 4 hour ride back home to Maine~ X3

[LooneyTunesFan80]

Is it just me or was this game a poor excuse of a sequel?

[LooneyTunesFan80]

Is it just me or was this game a poor excuse of a sequel?

[spotlead]

such a touching song! I did cry a bit when listening...

[DarkAoiishi]

Man, I love all the Chrono Cross songs, they are just so amazing especially this one!

[MrSpenceroth]

Every time i here this song it makes me want to cry its so beautiful! XD

[DarkMatterZero]

To bad the game was kinda meh the soundtrack is amazing

[snoberseyes1]

gooooooooooooood songs

[TwistedNsanity]

Can't believe how amazing this is.

[Gmanster64]

I don't know why, but this song is the ONLY part of Chrono Cross that I don't like that much. I like the game, the story, the characters (all ~40 of them), the villains, the soundtrack (mostly), the battle system, the bosses, the dungeons (especially Chronopolis), but not this song.

Well, not that much, it's still good.

[Pancident19]

I bought this game last summer, but the battle system wasn't working for me. I never made it past the first 5 minutes of the game. T.T

[hizokachile]

this is the most epic song, ever, ever, ever.

[aulits]

6 peoples dislikes? I cant understand!

[SephirothsAwakening]

Looks like there are 5 volunteers for the derpsquad.

[Phearbomb]

5 people Disliked getting owned by "Feral Cats"

[bmanah]

@Phearbomb the one that kicked my ass was HolyDragonSword lol

[xxRevemy]

OMG my childhood memories T........T this song make me wanna tear >

[sonofdrjekyll]

i bought the sound track and the game are there action figures? ps scar of time

[sonofdrjekyll]

i bought the sound track and the game are there action figures?

[johnzkeePW]

yeah this game has a heart warming story.

It's really nice shifting from another and home world while looking at what happened to people if they did this and did that.

[KefkeWren]

Anybody else ever notice that this song sounds suspiciously similar to "The Shinobi" from that game Revenge of Shinobi?

[theif519]

This is my favorite RPG with the best sound track ever! Imo

[ichbinein123]

Wow, i got Chills all the way down my spine, and goosebumps on my forearms... That's a pretty good indication that this music is great, if not Awesome =D

[itamimomo]

i truly loved this game it was fitting as i liked chrono triggger as well but its one of my faves and the music is extraordinary

[Morbutt]

Nobuo Uematsu could have never written something like this. Sry but it's true.

[pabloaza]

This is shit, take a look to the 5/4 Takepod versions ;)

[Sanimangas]

I got so much chills it makes me want to cry from nostalgia.

[hoitdoigs]

Instant goosebumps upon hearing that first chime at 0:04.

This song is chalk full of nostalgia & beauty.

Up until 0:58, then it just becomes fucking badass. :)

[whatamalaysian]

Wow, this melody really takes me back. Staying up until 3 a.m. playing this game, drinking mountain dew, being sleepy in school, coming back home and repeat (loser, right?) and when life seemed so much simpler. I miss this game and I miss those times, I fear that if I do indeed play it again though it will ruin this lovely memory I have buried in my head of euphoric teenage wonder and ignorance.

[GeminiBreaker]

@whatamalaysian @whatamalaysian I agree. When I listened to this, it reminds me of my childhood when things were so much simpler, when I was worrying constantly about what the future might bring, when playing an amazing video game was the happiest time in the world for me.

I miss those simple days.

[whatamalaysian]

@GeminiBreaker sounds to me like you were also another kid who grew up in the nineties and I'm willing to bet if you played this game and share these sentiments you turned out all right lol Simple is the perfect word to describe those days, I wish to recreate that life sometimes but Im almost out of college now so I guess its time to grow up.Better believe if games like this came out now though I'd be reminiscing about the present when I'm forty lol time's all relative, befitting for this song.

[Owenw218]

@whatamalaysian Honestly, I couldn't say it better myself. Except I wasn't drinking mountain dew, I was a coke child...

[Viikinki666]

@Owenw218 Haha "coke child" ditto my man! :P

[falconriffle]

@whatamalaysian

nostalgic prick

[vachiercoliss]

@whatamalaysian absolutely 100% right!

[Otacon55]

@whatamalaysian Play it again. I played FFIX last year, felt better then the first time I played it.

[whatamalaysian]

@Otacon55 I actually started it again lol, I'm on disc 2 now. I found a mint condition copy at a nearby gamestore and was "OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITT!!!!" bought it, started playing it again that night. And yes. It was glorious. My old was was in such poor condition from letting my friends borrow so it kept freezing so I'm trying to buy up all my old favorite RPG's just to have them. My girlfriend ridicules me when I make these purchases... she'll never understand... little bitch :)

[Rainwar]

@whatamalaysian they will never know the gloriousness and epicness of re-playing old jewels like this one. anyway...i used to care about annoying girlfriend blabbing, then i took an arrow to the knee.

[whatamalaysian]

@Otacon55 and Playing it now, I am! Just got a reef chocobo, I forgot how much fun the choco sidequests were in that game! It's hard to find the time I use to have as a kid though. "Sorry baby, I'm hittin the sack early, goodnight" ...*turns on the playstation ever so shamefully

[whatamalaysian]

@whatamalaysian you all know you've done it.

[pogopopex4]

@whatamalaysian That was one of the deepest comments I've ever read

[youngfrost7]

@whatamalaysian just bought this game the other day and omg so many memories of this game and Legend of Dragoon came back to me (had both at one time) but then my Friends Stole both my games i was so mad :'(

[whatamalaysian]

@youngfrost7 find that friend. Find him and bring him to justice. I found both games SEALED at a flea market, better believe I bought that immediately! ... even though I already had them...

[youngfrost7]

@whatamalaysian oh i found him and i demanded that he give both games back.......but....he told me that he had already sold them.......just try to imagine how mad i was

[HandOfQuaid]

@whatamalaysian It wont. I promise.

[777NihonSloan]

@whatamalaysian Aye...the old days weren't all that bad at all...

[APlusArt]

@whatamalaysian Don't worry, you won't. It's truly is a gem of a game. Lol. I remember being so obsessed with recruiting every single character and getting the good ending. The battle system is one of the best I've played, even today.

[jdspencer60]

@whatamalaysian I played it recently, after a similar experience. I was not disappointed, this game still kicks a LOT of ass.

[bigorange2082]

@whatamalaysian I did too with great games like this and Final Fantasy VII, I spent my two week winter vacation from college playing Final Fantasy VII day and night. I never left my apartment..hahaha. Happy times.

[KeklouneJedi666]

Epic !

[JHouseweart]

I listened to this live at Play: A Video Game Symphony in 2006... and it was absolutely amazing. One of my fondest memories... it was part of an arrangement of all kinds of Chrono songs... I remember hearing the applause was deafening. It was probably the most liked set at the whole concert. It was awesome.

[xDisRazyboix]

Why can't my school play this in their orchestra. Way better than the crap their playing plus its soothing and epic at the same time.

[mgvortex66]

The music in the trailer to this game was what made me want to buy it. I never had that happen to me before and since.

[Imdeadblind]

This is an RPG that transcends gaming for me honestly, I play it like I would read a book. Introspective, witty, and most of all, epic beyond belief.

Easily the best RPG I've ever played, both for its innovative combat system and PHENOMENAL story. (Plus the soundtrack is amazing, and can stand alone without the game to accompany it)

[19wayfarer19]

@Imdeadblind i agree with all you said except for the fact you said the ST cant stand alone without the game, i strongly beg to differ, for the most part anyways. the battle theme would be a mite annoying without much else going on, but my grandmother LOVES the music from this video game

[Imdeadblind]

@19wayfarer19 No, I said that the soundtrack CAN stand on its own. Agreed on the battle theme though.

[19wayfarer19]

@19wayfarer19 oh my bad dude, misread your comment. in that case, i entirely agree with your statement haha.

[Huora666]

this is the shit.

[MuGenKai]

dude I still own this game greatest game ever!!

[Battosaii]

this game is totally awesome.

[eugenehk25]

Fuck. Yeah. Oh my gosh.

[dlivingcch]

those four people have lame tastes, this is the best vg track of all time.

I think I can safely say Chrono Cross is my favorite RPG to date.

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

First game I ever owned for PS1. And totally worth it.

[rnbqw057]

感動です。

駆け抜けるセルジュの姿が格好良い。

今でも残してます。

[kbop]

@cmoodo hatuhh

[CMOODO]

over-rated

[Diricos7]

I've never even played this game, so the song has no real meaning to me. Despite that, it's STILL a fantastic song!

[tpsrvp]

at :27 you can hear the person on the flute gasp for air... o_0

[xSayPleasex]

@tpsrvp your right ; p lol

[Masamuned]

@tpsrvp LOL your right XD

[xSayPleasex]

@tpsrvp lol and faintly @ :38

[EeveeloveIEeveelove]

Way too good for the vieo..

[TwiliteKingdom]

WHAT?!?!??! ON PS2!??!?! (RUNS TO STORE!!!)

[ferretsshadow]

@TwiliteKingdom no man, that use to be the old ps1 logo, before ps2 came out.

[NY1love]

@TwiliteKingdom PS1 actually, they just recently fixed it too, it wouldn't play on PS3 without a combat error, which I noticed is gone last time I played it. :)

[AxelWCF]

This is the best VGM song ever written... I love Nobuo Uematsu, and overall he's great, but Yasunori Mitsuda has him with this gem.

[cruzman3608]

@AxelWCF

I don't know.. there are some good ones out there. Birth of a God (ff7) is one of my favorites, and I really like that song Astral Observatory from Majora's Mask.

[tharob]

This is one of the greatest game songs ever written. bar none.

[thewizardofzoz]

i wish youtube had an automatic replay feature.

[WeepingAngel01]

@thewizardofzoz type endless in front of youtube in the address bar. ^^

[thewizardofzoz]

@WeepingAngel01 wow thank you so much!!!!!

[Sylence777]

PS1, but everyone played it on PS2.

[Coffecoon]

@Sylence777 lol I played it on PS1 8D

[OnceAPONaTIMElivedME]

OMFG I MISS THE GAME! :( i wana buy a ps1 or was it 2? any play it again :(

[TheGryf0xxx]

@OnceAPONaTIMElivedME You miss the game but don't recall what system you played it on?

[MrTanookiMario]

I like the tambourine.

[09oct06]

THE FLUTE touches my soul

[ARBO2k9]

Best sound track in a game ever!!

[Pawoverlord]

I won't lie it is an amazing song, but why... Is everyone saying that violin is amazing? It's not even that hard of a part... Unless your talking about the flute even then... It's not truly freaking amazing like it seems to be worked up to be =B Just look up

Aaron Copland - Rodeo Suite 3: Hoedown

The orchestra I was in had to play that, (I was violin). It's beyond hard to master but it's so much fun to play. =)

[twofro11]

@Pawoverlord its fast and sounds good. who cares how hard it is to play. thats not what makes music. thats skill but it doesn't mean good music. although i do like that song you linked :P

[Pawoverlord]

@twofro11 *Nods* Music is made of emotions yes, but I meant for freaking amazing as in skill, but I could say (No I'm not being hipicritcal) that this piece is truly amazing.

If you have not heard of Two Steps from Hell I suggest you look it up, it's music is emotionally and physically amazing.. =) 

[twofro11]

@Pawoverlord not bad ;P. but you wanna know what is better!? the devil went down to georgia. LOL :P

[Pawoverlord]

@twofro11 :3 I love that song! Especially the guitar hero one LOL.

[cullotte3]

:[  ]

[madstermind]

I usually restrain from swearing, especially on the internet but...

how FUCKING awesome is this??!!

[warlich666]

Ive never played the game, but this track is moveing... well done, to many people overlook music in videogames and movies

[firedagger]

@warlich666 I would recommend it! It is definitely worth it; the soundtrack is just a bonus. :-)

[mayboy128]

That violin's GANGSTA!!!

[KKSlider60]

No other game equals the basslines found in Chrono Cross. Pure awesome.

[Kristastrxphe]

I bought a violin just to learn this song :3

[Itachimangekyo]

@Kristastrxphe Word, I would love how to do this

[5pac3c0w60y]

@xXKameltoexX its four now dude, i fucking know man. ppl disrespecting.

[TheNintendonerd1986]

@xXKameltoexX 5 -_- wasent me dough lol fail spell

[eyerule123]

My favorite video game piece of music. Still love it after 10 years!

[shuhunter]

i wish it was longer :(

[dalmohern]

Damn! This song gives me freakin goosebumps. EARGASM. Why does it have to be so short?

[plusmegaman2]

to me its a mix of naruto an golden sun music

[MetalSonicEX]

@plusmegaman2 Naruto has nothing on this, musically or otherwise.

[gaisa]

@plusmegaman2 Shut, the fuck up.....

[franja2190]

@plusmegaman2 put your naruto in your ass and your golden sun in your.. (well golden sun is good)....amm well shut up -.-

[Cloud2079]

@plusmegaman2

That's because you're an idiot.

[falconriffle]

@plusmegaman2

GTFO

[lightignakelloyd]

@plusmegaman2 both Naruto and GS came after this game, so your belief is invalid

[plasmix]

Supra no video?!?!?!

[Gameprofessional]

>O i dind-t have words...

[wooboy11]

this is the best music in a videogame, ever.

and nothing would change my mind.

[RoadkillForSkaters]

@wooboy11 how about a dollar

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

fuck i never beat this game i got lost some where and then my house got robbed and some fucks stole all my PS1 games but left my PS2 games (WTF?). I never got to finish it. Best graphics i ever saw on a PS1 game. I gota find out how to pirate it becuase most rom sites don't even carry it. :'(

[EeveeloveIEeveelove]

@True2TheBlueYoViGang Was KH a PSX or PS2 game?

[True2TheBlueYoViGang]

@EeveeloveIEeveelove

KH? Do you mean Kingdom Hearts? Yeah it was PS2(real good game to) but Crono Cross is PSX(1). Remarkably Crono Cross has the best garphix i ever saw on a PSX looks PS2ish...no lie. With emulators u can put buffers, and filter engines to make the game look smoother than it did on tv.

[EeveeloveIEeveelove]

@True2TheBlueYoViGang I know what the difference between PSX and PS2 is... I have one myself .__.

Was just asking, thanks for answering so fast.
