This piece brings tears to my eyes and a warmth to my heart. Very well done sir, its a shame square-enix did that to you. I suppose I sort of understand them protecting their copy rights. But they have not done a damn thing with Chrono Trigger WTF!? They just keep porting it but change hardly anything. Have any of you thought of just taking the concept and coming up with your own time travel tale? Cause that they can not stop you, you would be only borrowing the concept not the same story.
@chaosd1 but the game is so amazing! and zeal was the best place in the whole game! but i guess everyone can have an opinion. i just never actually heard or know of anyone that doesnt love the magical kingdom which is zeal!
There was something seriously wrong with Zeal. An oppressive monarchy, magicians and scientists run amok performing what manner of twisted experiments on their own populace, as they floated above the world as gods, leaving a whole population of people to die in the Ice Age. I really think Square was trying to convey that something was WRONG with the place under all it's glitz and polish, and if what happened later was any indication, then yes. It was.
BTW. I just checked out your youtube page. So, it seem strange, but could you finish your arrangement of World Revolution? If I recall, it was never fully, properly completed.
Hi. Quick question. Are you Matt Valente? and if so, are you the person who arranged this music? I remember several years ago when Chrono Trigger Resurrection was still alive I did some extensive readings about the group. Most notably I read on how the group was formed.
The one name I still remember coming across by is Matt Valente.
...wow... this rendition just takes my breath away... you're incredibly talented to make this song. Where can I download the mp3? it's perfect for a moment to contemplate about things.
So sad this project was forced to an end by Square Enix.
I guess you made them envy you guys. You should re-form the team that was making CTRessurection and create your own RPG game. You guys sure do have some talent!
This has always been my favorite version of it too. Other than zohar's piano version, this is the best one I've ever heard. I love the guitar work. I think you actually added to Mitsuda and there aren't too many remixes I can say that about. I wish I had those guitar samples though lol.
The 3D one was actually being made by a very talented group of fans, and not endorsed by Square Enix themselves. It was actually Enix who threatened them with legal action. That's why there's no 3D version ):
This is my absolute favorite song from Chrono Trigger and this is an amazing remix of it. The quality and talent of your work has improved greatly over some of the stuff have in other MOD related formats from the late 90s.
Wow, this is amazing. This was the most memorable song from the game, and ever time I hear it it sounds like the first. I'd have to say that's some massive nostalgia factor because this game was released when I was 3! I would like to ask you, Tssf, did you ever think of using steel drum/sitar where you used piano/guitar?
Check out Chrono Resurrection "The Music", they're other videos that I posted..there's tons of other remixes :) Most stuck true to the original songs though, unlike this where I took some slight creative license.
I did notice the slight creative license as you put it, but somehow, it seemed to be some lost part of the song or something. This is one of my favorite songs in the game. And you did it justice. I'm looking through all your videos of the Chrono Resurrection or Chrono Trigger music, and I'm loving them so far.
If by "better version" you mean a direct port of the SNES game without any relevant change for the DS... I don't see how that is any better than what Resurrection was.
Man. I still recall the scenery in the sky village in the Dark Ages. I think this song was composed by Valente, Mathew and originated by Mitsuda Yasunori. Oh, the nostalgia..
Awesome. Well it sounds great, I'd like to get into the video game music field myself and this is such a great thing to see. Thanks for putting it up!
You did an incredible job making this song your own, that guitar really makes it stand out from the original version.... I learned the old version on piano, maybe I'll have to make some sheet music for this version ;p
The first instrument is actually a Piano, but rather than ruin the song trying to find a suitable "Gamelan" (I actually did have one, but it didn't "feel" right) I opted for a Piano instead, and it works. The original feel of the song is there, that's all that matters.
the Gamelan of original sounds like from KORG AI2 Synth,ie KORG X3.
Roland SR-JV80-14 Asia has good Gamelan too, but sounds not match the feel. And the original insturments of melody is KOTO,Japanese traditional musical instruments,I think more ethnic will match the feel^^
The fact is no, the Pro Tools M-Powered mix is a new version of the Corridors of Time mix.
I was planning on re-mixing all of CR's music like this, then releasing an OST. As soon as I get a lot more time that's exactly what I'll do. The original CR mixes were amateurishly done, despite everyone loving them so much. lol.
As always, nothing but the best from you. Maybe SquareEnix will get their head out of their asses one day and have you guys complete this project for them and have it released on the DS.
I know a lot of people would love to see that happen, and there's a good amount of money to be made with commercial releases.
Heh, you really have a nack for what you do. Glad to see you are still at it. Also I was glad to see a bit more from the original Chrono Resurrection game. Granted, it was just the start menu, but it's something I haven't ever seen before. ^_^
Which is perfectly understandable. I'm pretty sure that's covered somewhere in a part of the C&D letter from Square. I imagine that'll be under lock and key for... heh, ever.
Hope you don't mind me bumping our convo... but I think Nathan beat you to it. There's a video of the start of the game with a timegate skipping to the battle on zenan bridge. Not sure if that is Nathan or not, but never the less...
Hey tssf, would you mid giving me the notes to the background guitar… thanks!

But I LOVE this version. The instruments used, and the overall tone brings the mystique of the original, but doesn't drag me down.
