Chrono Cross OST - Fates

[Dawnannsykes]

FATE was probably my favorite boss, along with Dark Serge. :] They were unforgettable, that's for sure.

[SeraphimLady]

One of the best boss battle themes.

[KaioDark1]

begining countdown: 5

[Codeman90]

I have never played a game where even the SAVE POINTS were integral to the plot. Very clever Chrono Cross. Well played.

[redeyes99]

*countdown~ .... FATE BOMB

[xlsaltydoglx]

This was a happy boss song then your teammate dies then it was an oh shit moment.

[MadForColors]

The reason this sounds tribal is because Lynx was modeled after an Aztec god of fate and darkness. I think that's kinda cool. =]

[redandblack641]

Is it just me, or does this and Chronopolis sound African influenced?

[QueenAnime99]

I friggin' love the song and the boss. I like how androgynous Fate looked. :D

[itzRafaaa]

Two people died for the countdown.

[Ishidori85]

You know FATE's character design is a reference to Tezcatlipoca, the aztec god of fate -chronopedia-. That's because the battle theme has some tribal sound.

[technopixie96]

You know why Chrono Cross is so epic? Name me one other game that lets you fight FATE!

[lightignakelloyd]

@technopixie96 Xenogears, but that's fighting against some kind of God, but i guess you're right, CC is epic in it's own way

[admarshall617]

@technopixie96 in God of war II, you fight the three sisters of fate.

[evandroferreiradanie]

5...

4...

3...

2...

1...

Her attack system reminds me of Black Tyrano, Azala's pet

[owenitzura]

"Show me what the purpose of your life on this planet is. Teach me what it means to be alive!"

[Liimatainen]

I swear, this game has some of the most creative music.

[1RadicalDreamer]

The battle against fate begins, good times.

[MANTISscream]

Was Fate male or female?

[great0able]

@MANTISscream Technically female... wierd right?

[Yoshi4990]

the game is pure ART

every single fucking piece of it

[stridren]

such a deep and confusing game, i actualy got a rom saved right at the devourer!

[lastblade3]

you know, for being an almighty being and being the protector of mankind, FATE was a weak boss huh?

[ThaddeusGriffinity]

@lastblade3 Funny how easy it is to escape our fates, eh?

[lastblade3]

@ThaddeusGriffinity guess serge and the other's will to live must have been pretty strong then, huh?

[admarshall617]

@lastblade3 yea fate should have been a better boss fight.  oh well she kicked the dragon gods ass tho

[whorishwatermelon]

it sounds like a confused orchestra

[hitokirimasamun]

prometheus =Robo

[rnbqw057]

フェイト戦ですね！！

[Yoshi4990]

it wasnt made to be agressive..as people always think...

the mistery and anxiousity tone of this song......are just perfect to describe fate itself

..and i disagree with the guy that said its a lie....in fact....its the most plausible end of our own kind if u starts to think about it.....

or we could just destroy eachother....it would be another plausible end also....

[Xxd3cayxX]

@Yoshi4990 Dude, I think this piece is mysterious and describes the way FATE would be if it were a song! I agree!

[darkstarXSI]

Show me what the purpose of your life on this planet is ....teach me what it means to be "Alive"

epic battle.

[LegendPst]

FATE was such a deep character.

"I love you so much... That is why sometimes I desire to smash you to bits!"

[unoismygame]

@LegendPst

Thats miguel's line

[LegendPst]

No, that was FATE. Miguel was dead by that point. Plus, seeing as Miguel was talking to Leena before that, I can't see him saying this. He wouldn't want to crush Leena to bits.

No, that was FATE's line. It was probably reffering to FATE's relationship with mankind.

Finally, the game script credits FATE as the one who said this. :P

[LegendPst]

@LegendPst Looking back on my reply, I suddenly realize that FATE is just one huge tsundere for the human race. A very... manipulative, bossy, bitchy kind of tsundere.

[admarshall617]

@LegendPst i never really understood that. but then again there is a lot of this game that reflects chrono trigger

[Adhoc57]

This is like a conclusion to 'Beginning of a Dream'.

[Saullysaul]

Just listening to these songs gives me a nostalgic feeling

[SergeOfArniVillage]

This song is extremely bizarre, XD, but I like it...

[XRuglia]

this is one of the few games i can say i loved every pice of music

[DavidScorcelletti]

One of my favorite songs from the OST, pretty underrated too.

[sjcoelho]

This was one of the best games for PS1, and indeed one of the best RPGs I've ever played. The soundtrack and the epic/confusing storyline had a lot to do with it.

[rejectofmisery]

no machination made by man can be declared a god, and must be put in its place for trying to supercede all that was naturally created. Fate is a lie, we can choose the path we walk, and we must endure what consequence that may follow. The powers that be can lay us a map for us, but we must be free to choose.

[Kahran042]

@rejectofmisery ...That is deep.

[admarshall617]

@rejectofmisery damn thats deep is that in the game or did you come up with it

[rejectofmisery]

@admarshall617 i came up with it

[admarshall617]

@rejectofmisery well you should be a writer, cause that was awesome

[rejectofmisery]

@admarshall617 i'm trying that, along with painting and drawing... anything creative

[InterceptorAlien]

Dunno what it is, but there's something about this song that I just LOVE.

[menschmaschine5]

Great boss theme. It fits the boss well. A boss theme doesn't need to be "epic" to be good.

[Maguscard]

It works for the kinda boss it goes with.

[kl4969]

I like the fast part from 00:27

[kl4969]

Good "Epic Showdown" kinda theme

[Shumagaki]

Yes. I wasn't that fond of this song, but it does have some catchy parts and of course a unique sound.

[Tyrai]

my thoughts exactly

[edad14]

:) I LOVE IT!

[wackyluke444]

This song is sick! Awsome, I mean! Its computerize'n' stuff.

Fave boss theme ever

[TangerineImpz]

I actually really like this song.

Alot of people thought it was kind of weak for a boss theme, but I love it.

[Adaman120]

Yeah, I like the drums myself.

[Xxd3cayxX]

@TangerineImpz Yeah, I liked this theme. It reminded me of a weird memories in my childhood - it was that blow pipe or synth with the drums... It was odd but I love it!

[beaucerdog]

@TangerineImpz Rather than being ARGH AGGRESSIVE KILL IT, it's complex and makes you think. I really have to play this game over. I beat it in my early teens. I'm 22 now, so I can appreciate and understand this story better.
