Chrono Cross OST - Frozen Time

[Nieruz]

People, I just don't know how to put it but the whole story line of this magnificent game didn't came from fantasy alone - almost 70%of it, no, 90+% of it actually came from reality as we know it, sorry to disappoint you. The game creator, however, just added some spice which made it seem to have come from imagination. Parallel worlds, reptites, man vs reptites, gods vs reptites, magic - name it, EVERYTHING the game is a part of our reality, do some research :)

[serge296]

CC is my favourite game forever!!!

[DaNi3lJu777]

Unbelievable... Enough said. Rather, what can be said?

[miguelrodriguez007]

the flame has something to say to EVERYONE!! and its all different

[Trytorise]

WHO dislike this?.. WHO?????

[2dittoz]

@Trytorise >:)

[KaKe87666]

@Trytorise maybe someone retarded

[italiaboy1123]

who the fuck made this game? i'm calling him right the fuck now to tell him to make a sequel RIGHT THE FUCK NOW

[arkwrestling145]

@italiaboy1123 i'm not so sure a sequel is even possible. they finished the story off so well here, how can you make a viable rebound that doesn't completely shell shock the entire story? if they do a new one, they will probably do what they did with this game after chrono trigger and make an irrelevant(though also totally relevant) spiritual successor. and hey, if they do what they did with this game, i have no complaints about that :)

[mjkittredge]

@arkwrestling145 It's long overdue they had a Chrono-*SOMETHING* for crying out loud!

[mjkittredge]

@italiaboy1123 It probably crossed their mind. Thing is, you need more than a man, you need a team, inspired and patient and passionate, that creates a harmony, a chemistry amongst themselves and that harmony flows into the game as they pour their heart and creativity into it, and a classic, a legend is born. This only happens once every few hundred games. Treasure them.

[tabadamanzammee]

I believe the real title of this OST is Frozen Flame.. ^^ just saying

[dissident93]

@tabadamanzammee Yep, that's the most common title for this piece.

[itstimetodie]

Beware when you stare into the flame, because the flame will stare right back.

[RagnarokMyLife]

chrono cross not is a game....

this is a world....

chrono cross in we heart...

[serge296]

Why japenese didn't made Chrono Cross to Anime??I WILL VERY LIKE IT!

[3121ptjman]

@serge296 Why didn't America.

[ooweakingoo]

@serge296 that's what's i've been wondering all of my life! i think of all the reason and the only one most possible is CHRONO CROSS IS TOO EPIC.

and i swear if i ever grow up and do anything related to anime work im so gonna do the chrono cross anime!

[Vxpiriax]

@serge296 Because that would be gay.

[InFiNiTeDrEaMeR9413]

@serge296

because it will ruin the story and experiences of the game. it will be very hard to recapture everything from it and putting it in an anime. IMO i dont want that. I'd rather keep chrono cross exactly as I remember with no change.

[cciid]

I never understood what the "OST" in the game title was. Mind telling me someone?

[radschneider]

@cciid

I believe it stands for "Original Sound Track"

[cciid]

@radschneider Okay, there's "Original Sound Track". Does that mean there's also a not "Original Sound Track"? :)

[snkhuong]

@cciid original here just means it comes from that film/movie/anime. usually OST refers to the background music like this one

[owenitzura]

This is basically Lavos' theme in Chrono Cross.

[stardingo747]

@owenitzura Yeah, this is the "tragedy of the human race" song, when they discover FATE was in fact PROTECTING them, and that their great grandparents are actually scientists from the future created by Crono and company.

[stewinsalot]

@stardingo747 the downside to listening to Chrono Cross's awesome music is running into these spoilers every now and then :|

[lucaslmgv]

@stewinsalot

The downside is it makes me wanna play again, but I don't have the time to do so...

[kabevabon]

this IS the best tune of the game hands down

[rawboda1prince]

sad tune..

[Soujiro171]

Awsome....i just love that song *>*

[stardingo747]

In real life the spy game is primarily woman's work; NEVER, date a chick who has worked for the CIA. Chances are she's taken it in the back door from some camel humper. FOR AMERICA!

[stardingo747]

Espionage is over glamourized though; in real life, the spy world is a sex game. People spill their guts during pillow talk. The most successful spy of all time was in fact a man from the Dominical republic surnamed Rubirosa; he's the origin of the "latin lover" stereotype. He bedded former high ranking politician's ex wives, and even obtained sensitive U.S. secrets that way. Very few men are willing to screw old cows, after all; that is why he succeeded where others failed.

[stardingo747]

@stardingo747 in the espionage game, when the killers get sent in? That usually means something went horribly wrong, OR, a government is trying to send a message. In the spy game, murders are never hush hush like in the movies, they tend to in fact be VERY public, media circuses in fact. Killers are only sent in either to intimidate, or to clean up a mess.

[stardingo747]

Didn't this song play when Lynx made all his revelations? About how FATE in fact PROTECTED humanity? I think it plays right before the fight with FATE.

[AdumbroDeus]

@stardingo747 Yep, it's the frozen flame's theme. 

[dissident93]

Beautiful, just Beautiful.

[stardingo747]

Celtic myth is a bit spooky regarding its "otherworld" stuff; modern quantum physics insists there may indeed be parallel universes.

I wonder if I have an evil twin....

[imgonnaeatamoose]

@stardingo747 I bet hes has a Goatee.

[stardingo747]

@imgonnaeatamoose you mean like Evil Spock from STOS?  LOL.

[imgonnaeatamoose]

@stardingo747 Yeah xD

[stardingo747]

@imgonnaeatamoose Actually, and, I don't mean to start an argument but, the evil me is probably impecably groomed, like Christian Bale's character from "American Psycho." And, he probably works as a Mossad Assassin; that is probably the evil me.

[imgonnaeatamoose]

@stardingo747 Ooh Christian Bale Huh? I wish my evil me looked like that. My evil me is probably like 400lbs. and hate puppies. :/

[YouDuck2345]

@stardingo747 According to some theories, every difference in your life leads to another dimension, even if it's something as minor as hesitating to pronounce a word for a split-second longer. If that's true, there's got to be some universe where you've made what you consider to be the 'wrong' choices.

[cullotte3]

Who was really on your side?

[windwalker000]

Frozen "Flame"

[limeownsj00]

Holy shit... I know I can't be the first to notice it, but I'm picking up the Ocean Palace from CT in there. I can't believe I JUST noticed that now... took me long enough. XD

[aquishix]

@limeownsj00

WHOA. YES! In the background, faint, I hear it. It's the little twinkly voice...

[limeownsj00]

@aquishix

It's also in the melody. :P From 0:05 to 0:10.

[GroovH]

@limeownsj00 just about every games music is full of leitmotifs

[limeownsj00]

@GroovH

Yasunori Mitsuda is especially prone to using leitmotifs (especially between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, one being a sequel to the other). Good thing his work is exceptional. :P

[maximo702]

@limeownsj00 you forget a game called radical dreamers is a sequel too of chrono trigger and this song . viper manor and star stealing girl are originary from radical dreamers

[JayFireweaver]

@limeownsj00 I just noticed it after how long?! MIND. BLOWN. O.O

[stridren]

@animelover644

Check out all there songs if u got the time, great great Soundtrack!

[000Moli000]

I LOVE THIS MUSIC, LYNX AND KID AGAIN!

[745white]

so mysterious and soothing....i love it

[Saullysaul]

The only time you hear this song in the game is when you fight The Goddess FATE

[xLadyRiddelx]

No this song was also used while on the sea map, right? I remember because I used to keep my game on that scene a lot and this is the most familiar piece of music I know. I'm almost sure of it.

[Urthdigger]

I'm pretty sure you hear it at another time besides that fight, but I know for a fact it's not one of the themes when you're on the sea.

[sebasdiabloo]

mmm im not sure maybe you hear it once you get to the dead sea when watching geddon tower from the distance, or when belthezar reveals the truth about the dragon god, serge,kid and harle.

[odlsquall]

for some reason this song makes me look back upon my life and wonder what fate has in stored for me. gives me a surreal feeling....

[knightw0]

These songs seem to do that very often, This composer has an amazing way to invoke people's feelings through his music, I believe that's the true glory and triumph of a gifted writer

[hellothereimasian]

Sucks how the dragons turn you to killing the defender of humanity, fate D:

[morbentfel]

i like how in CC you kill basically every godlike being there is

[owenitzura]

Yeah, it was probably the most amazing plot twist I've ever experienced on an RPG. The Dragons were actually against humanity, while FATE was our defender. Still, FATE was a complete jerk, a very sinister supercomputer XD

[LordZero666]

When you realize than the core of FATE was the Prometheous chip, AKA Robo which Lucca developed... Its gets even weirder... the gentle and caring Robo sort of becoming the badass Lynx...

[Largueirus]

Prometheus was NOT the core of FATE. Robo was installed as a safety measure hidden into FATE, and when you go to the computer in Chronopolis, FATE finally discovers it and formats it.

It is poetic, since Prometheus stole the fire from the gods to give to humans, and Prometheus in the game protects the Frozen Flame.

[aquishix]

@Largueirus

Amen to that. Japanese role playing games often incorporate random elements of Greco Roman mythology, but the way they did it in Chrono Cross is some of the best. Even with my little knowledge, I understood the metaphor about FATE and Prometheus. Simply amazing.

[stardingo747]

@aquishix Chrono Cross was mostly Celtic mythology though; the idea of "otherworlds" is Celtic, not Greco-Roman myth. Read about Celtic otherworld travels, I believe a famous mythic figure is Fergus McRoth or something.

[owenitzura]

Wrong. The Dragons were against humanity. They were originally the Dragon God of the Reptite Dimension. The Dragons HATE the humans because of what we are doing to the planet, and they want to exterminate us.

FATE, as Belthazar himself says in the game, is the protector of humanity. But it dreams of creating a new species based on itself, and evolving using the Frozen Flame.

And the Time Devourer, well, it just feeds on time-space continuum, thus destroying everything and everyone.

[yesledman2]

Long time without CC XD

I'd have to play it again, but first find the way to run it on computer.

[yesledman2]

@WorstDoublesPartner

Do you know where to get it?

[vonmises6]

@yesledman2 pm me if you need help

[darkstarXSI]

wasn't the oppose? Dragons were against us, Fate was in our side as it was FATE who sealed the dragons and the time devourer ultimately is the fusion of lavos with the dragons.

[0Shannon0]

Love this song...

Dark Serge <333

[Centurian66]

you mean fate? lol

that's who he really is anyways haha

[0Shannon0]

Yes; Dark Serge, Lynx, FATE... all awesome by my standards! lol :) Love the whole back story on FATE for some reason. Must be because of all the crazy plot twists involved.

[Heritor89]

sweet *_* and superior

[Matumciito]

awesome

iot makes me cry for some reason xD

[SATHANAS12]

Yo where did you get all this???????

[reggae8811]

u hear this one at the world map of the dead sea

[TriggerHappyGirl013]

This song isn't Frozen Time, It's Frozen Flame. Thanks for uploading it. It's one of my favorites ^_^!

[ComradeSephiroth]

I forget, when does it play in the game? (there will probably be spoilers, so beware)

[NinjaDec21]

I plays right before you fight FATE

[Chinve]

Ahem the name of the song is Frozen Flame xD

[NemiChaos]

wow ive been searching for this! THANKS! 5/5

[kl4969]

Frozen Flame!

[StewNWT]

This piece reminds me bigtime of Xenogears. Especially in the floating city (haven't played either game in a long time...) - Has that ethereal, cosmic quality to it

[deuce982]

Its the same composer that did Xenogears

[StormrageXD]

And Xenosaga

[saezuri89]

And Shadow Hearts

[Renathi]

Thank you.
