  • even though the game is old, but it's still awesome (and more tactical than the latest games). the song is awesome too in piano version. They should make another chrono trigger where the graphic is better (but no changing the story line)

  • *holds up Masumune*

  • SCREW NEWER GAMES!

    CHRONO TRIGGER AND OTHER OLDER GAMES ARE BETTER!

  • 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!

  • The DS version is insulting. They changed the name of the mystics to fiends. What sentient creature would KNOWINGLY CALL ITSELF A FIEND!

  • Chrono trigger, epic rpg, in the past, in the present, and in the future before the lavos day xD

  • @sebas1475 The Lavos day would have happened 12 years ago.

    By the way, I actually played this game in 1999, which was kinda creepy :D

  • @ynotris Well it was still in the future. 2300 xP

  • Sick and tired of people comparing chrono trigger to final fantasy. Final fantasy is just a big name franchise where chrono trigger was actually the most brilliant and made game of it's time. Final fantasy side by side to it back in the 1995's was absolute crap.

    imo Final fantasy = crappy rip of Chrono trigger.

  • @Mizukaru who compares Chrono Trigger to Final Fantasy ive never heard anybody compare the two and how is final fantasy a rip off when nothing is similiar other than the fact they are both rpg's and they are made by the same company you gotta be kidding me you know what im sick of? people like you bashing final fantasy just because you are bitter its still around and will continue to be around where the hell is the 3rd entry in the chrono series?

  • @cheeseburgification Dude... The reason why there isn't third entry is because the devs in Square are mentally retarded. They need(One of the devs said that) the whole(original) team to make a game. Which is never going to happen.

  • @Mizukaru chrono trigger is a fucking amazing game and so is chrono cross but dont bash final fantasy fuck you.

  • @Mizukaru Did you get hit in the head. Last time I checked Final Fantasy came out before Chrono Trigger. I personally dislike Final Fantasy but I won't bash it.

  • @Mizukaru kind of ironic considering they are made by the same company

  • why making fun of FF? CT and FF are both amazing games.

  • @Heavensf4ll When you compare them both, FF doesn't look good. It makes sense people would shoot it down, they quickly forget what good is when they're overwhelmed by CT's pure awesomeness. After listening to this, FF look like just another game.

  • I would like it better if it was more complicated. The original theme was awesome, this version is just too simple for my taste.

    Note: I still "liked" the video :P

  • 21 people are cowards turned into frogs.

  • @Cloppoide12 LoL Me Too i finished this game 5 times!!

  • @Shinkada Chrono Trigger is widely accepted as the best game on the SNES, which would definitely make it one of the greatest games ever. You may not like it, but that's the way it is.

    As for the cover, I think the biggest problem is that the audio quality is shoddy, likely due to bad recording tools. I'd be interested in hearing it again without the sound quality skewing it.

    Schala is awesome.

  • @easytoremember0 And rap is currently the most popular musical genre. Does that make it good? No.

    Popularity is NEVER a valid argument for quality. Ever.

  • @Shinkada I don't believe rap is currently the most popular music genre, nor will I dismiss rap just because the popular rappers currently occupying the spotlight are horrible; but I acknowledge the point you're trying to make. So then, in what way doesn't Chrono Trigger bring the quality?

  • @easytoremember0 Basically the regular Square problems; relying on archetype assumptions instead of actually /developing/ characters, and having predictable and cliche-filled plots.

    Chrono Trigger had incredible music and a great battle system, and was certainly better than anything else Square had made at the time (and nearly everything they made after) but that doesn't stop it from being... Well, mostly mediocre. Chrono you-know-what-ing was a nice touch.

  • @Shinkada I don't know about that, Final Fantasy 6 was equally amazing. very well developed characters and villain, phenomenal music, battle system, and the villain actually well...at the end of the "first half" you know what I mean.

  • @kefka3 Your definition of "developed" clearly differs to mine. As said before, Square rarely develops characters, they spend the 10-15 minutes after their introduction establishing their archetype and the rest of the character's dialogue becomes exposition, further narrowing the archetype, or - if you're REALLY LUCKY - adding a sub-archetype. Only one of Square's games didn't fall prey to this, and it didn't start with Final, Chrono or Kingdom.

  • @Shinkada clearly it does differ. the only two main characters in 6 who didn't really get a proper background were umaro and gogo. the rest were all vastly different from one another in their respective rights, had their own personalities and stories to follow and mysteries. in the second half of the game there are about a dozen optional side quests that further explore how those characters are built and how they relate to one another. I think you need to give it a bit more credit where it's due

  • @kefka3 FF6 is one of the games where you get sub-archetypes, which is better than the other FF's but still leagues behind many other RPGs. Having a background is not development. Being different archetypes is not development. Some games to try might be Shadow Hearts, .hack//G.U. (to an extent - really only two characters actually get development, but it's good for those two), Tales of the Abyss (same as //G.U.), Nier, and Square's only genuinely good game, The World Ends With You.

  • good job, mate!

  • Sorry, gotta vote this down. Horrible audio quality. Fairly good piano playing but some mistakes..

  • @neptronix i dare you to post a video on youtube doing this and perfecting it...

  • @chuggaaconroy11 yupp, i'd like to see that too

  • @izm3 Well, at least it's real, constructive critisism, waaaay better than "OMG THIS SUKS UR blah blah blah".

  • My favorite character theme from CT, most definitely! My favorite piece is actually Corridors of Time, but that's made collectively for the Zeal arc of the plot. This, along with Schala's theme and Lavos Core (Last Battle) theme, are so contagious! I've gotten my mother and sister to like them and they don't even know what CT is!

  • I thought the type of instrument you were using didn't fit with the theme.

    However, that is my only complaint. you are officially awesome by my standards.

    My standards are as follows; if you can play Magus's theme on any instrument, you are therefore without question awesome

  • I don't think you went deep enough on the keys to match the theme. Don't get me wrong I admit you're a talented piano player, but I think I heard some mistakes.

  • Is it me or at the piano only this song resemble the phantom train song in final fantasy 3 on the snes?... well... at the start it sound really similar!

  • You have a good ear! I didn't notice that but I"m farmiliar with both the song and they do seem similar. This may be due to the fact that after Mitsuda contracted stomach ulcers Nobou was signed on to help with and compose the tracks.

  • I didn't know they shift the music composer thanks =))

  • maybe a tiny bit. same kind of theme.

  • the style sounds more like uematsu than mitsuda. even though mitsuda is credited for it.

  • They did make a crono trigger anime - though how long it got I don´t know. Its more a spinoff.

  • Chrono Trigger doesn't need remade. Unless they can make the graphics look like Akria's artwork exactly, I want nothing to do with a remake. Game is way too beautiful to make sprites turn into ugly ass cel-shaded abortions. The music could be modernized and I'd have no problem. But leave the art alone unless it can be done exactly right.

  • Yep, why so many thumbs down. -.- The new generation of retarded kids is so lame. Such a game is perfect the way it is..

  • @Yaridovichz I love the game, and the song is awesome, and this guy probably plays pretty well... but I can barely make out the notes because the audio is so awful. Thumbs down :\

  • @Yaridovichz Im only 14 but i have played this ,to the final boss, and nearly beat it.This game is by far the best.

  • @MrHLGNinja That's because of gamers like you and I have good taste. It's rather rare these days.

  • @HiddenSenka I Know, I Mean I Like Most Of Today's Games, But The Classics Are The Best!

  • @Yaridovichz No offense, but I'm 17 right now, and I absolutely adore retro games such as the old Final Fantasy games, and ofcourse Chrono Trigger! In fact, all these new games coming out mean squat to me, since most of them lack proper gameplay and are more focused on unimporant issues such as graphics. You my friend, underestemated our agecatagory ;D.

  • I'd be afraid of any remake that doesn't use sprites. I love the way the game looks and never want to see it changed. But yeah, I would love to hear instrumental tracks in place of midis.

    Like I said, I don't want to see it remade, but Dragon Quest 8 looks like his artwork.

  • Video is a bit static. Would have been worth having different camera angles or some movement.

    Music is awesome. You have a lot of talent. :)

  • I don't think ff12 was a fail, it was a diferent ff12, so better get used to it lol.

    Also ff7 for me is not the best ff out there just cuze 1 of the main characters died and omg its so sad lol.

    Legend of dragoon is 1 of the best rpgs out there too, same wth lunar series and lost odyssey.

    FF4 was good, but is not even near to ff8 and 9 ^^

  • "one of the first games"

    >Epic music

    >Epic plotline

    >Main character dies

    Hrm... sounds like Chrono Trigger to me...

    :P

  • FF7 is good, but I think people overate it to tell the truth. Still, I think it's an incredible game, but those fantards kill it. Oh yeah, Cid kicks ass!. Now sit your ass down and drink your goddamn tea!

  • one of the greatest games ever??? more like THE greatest game ever!!!

  • rainechoom I don't know about best ever, but it is in my top 3 for sure. Maybe top 2:D

  • Best game ever

  • i love this song! the chords in this version remind me of bells from a clock tower, which i think they shouldhv used in the orig song to make it awesomer. Anyone else agree?

  • Now that you've pointed it out, some of the chords do sound like a bell tolling.

  • I agree totally, they used a bell in FFVII's "One Winged Angel" and it was awesome.

  • I said Chrono Trigger is 1 of the best rpgs out there lol.

    But I like a lot more ff9, ff10 and ff12, then Chrono Cross, then Chrono Trigger xxD!

  • @Rhyonz

    Ff12 is teh shit.

    I mean, FF4-FF10 were great and ff7 was simply the best from those. ff12 is just simply fail.

    Chrono Trigger ftw and I'd hate it if they made a remake which'd change anything else than the graphics and the music quality which wasn't bad even for the SNES version.

    I also like Legend of Dragoon, even if it didn't really get much popularity and the voice acting sucked, although it was a great game as well.

  • Old school ones are the best.

    3 (on SNES) 6 (on GBA) then 4, then 1, then 5 (on SNES) then 9, 7, and so on.

  • With Crono Trigger before all of those, of course. Haha.

  • It's very nice, really!!! Sorry about my mistakes, i'm from Russia =)))

  • nice work

  • final fantasy 9 is the best final fantasy out there, second goes ff10, then ff 12, then ff8!!! lol

    About chrono trigger, its 1 of the best rpgs in history.

  • ? i dont get what the deal is with ff9 i like 10 and 8 much more

  • I dont really think ff9,10, or 12 shuold be that high... ahah no offence or anything. Just my opinion

    But I do agree with chrono trigger being number one :)

  • A real piano would have been very nice.

  • Would've been nicer to see on a real piano (not keyboard) but great job nontheless.

  • eh, idk about 7 i've never played it but Chrono trigger in my opinion is the best of all time

  • ff7!! lol that game was good when it came out, ff10,11,12 are way better.. stop going with the crowd people.. Chrono Trigger still beats all tho :]]

    Gj

  • Why can't anything ever be appreciated by you fucking idiots? Geesus Krist, every where I go on the INTERNET now-a-days you see idiot kids always fighting over something stupid. Let's marvel in the fact that we can look back upon both CT and FF7 (they were made by the same Brilliant company) as 2 of the greatest RPGs ever created!

  • It got made into something stupid because I stupidly fed the troll. My bad. My point was they're both phenomenal musical scores created by the same man. End statment. Each need to be appreciated on their own level.

  • yah FF7 was amazing until they made seph all emo in the sequals and stuff.

  • Thank you! Someone understands!

  • Magus makes Sephiroth look like a fucking dick skin

  • ANYWAY! Lets get back to the awesome piano playing! It's still amazing, and I wish you could do the Black Wind that's blowing in the first few cords.

  • your mind is a little skewed with a lack of intelligence if you think so

  • Not only Magus Theme has more spirit than Sephiroth's... Magus has much more background, you know about him even before you face him, and people fear and the monster legion loves him. For Sephiroth, he just comes out of nowhere to beat a hero that also comes out of nowhere (Cloud).

  • Magus was awesome, the theme is perfect

  • Magus theme must sound cool on an organ.

  • Perhaps I read too much into it, but I always viewed it as Magus (anti-hero he is) did Frog a favor in a back-handed way. By turning Glenn into Frog, Magus made it possible for Glenn to be what Cyrus always saw in him. Again, thinking too much. Anyway, just wanted to say how awesome this arrangement is! Great work!

  • Magus -- that is, Janus -- is much cooler than Sephiroth. And so is his music.

  • MAgus Theme pwned Sephiroth's Theme!!

  • full truth, top to bottum.

  • honestly, Barney's theme pwned Sephiroth's Theme, so there's not that much comparison in your statement :P

  • Deinfately! chrono trigger had sum of the best music of any rpg i've played IMO

  • Speaking as a die-hard Sephiroth fan, I prefer Magus' theme. Magus has the better motive and passion since they down-graded Sephiroth's. (Don't get me started *grumbles*) As for music wise? How could you not think that Chrono Trigger's music was amazing? Uematsu did the music for Chrono Trigger heaven's sake! It's just as beautiful, to me, as any Final Fantasy's.. it 'fits' better than FF7s. The best FF music is actually VI, but Chrono Trigger is my RPG soundtrack of choice in the CD player.

  • dont get so excited. I am not die-hard fan of sephiriot, you are die-hard fan of magus --' [little annoying when someone calls you with the words which matches to himself ] i love chrono trigger and ff7. And i see you reside in my mind too ^^...it's cheap manipulation, to say that i cant think about chrono trigger music not amazing... it is amazing i rly like it... but my previous comment was right, and every intelligent person who go trough ff7 and ct would agree with me. I have nothing to add

  • Did I say that? I absolutely adore FF7. I adore CT. I love Magus as much as Sephiroth, my favorite is Psaro from DQIV to be technical. My point was the music was crafted by the same man. Period. I was not putting you down like you say and it really irks me that you make assumptions about me. I did not attack you, so don't attack me. I was refering to the 'fit' of the music. FF7s doesn't 'fit' as well as CT to my ear. That's a personal preference. My first CD I ever bought was the FF7 soundtrack.

  • that's cool

  • And yes, speaking FOR MYSELF, I am a die-hard fan of Sephiroth. I loved everything about him until they made him 'totally evil' with no logical modivation. That, however, does not diminish the awesomeness of his theme. I like Magus' theme far better, personally. As simplistic as it is, it evokes a totally diffrent feeling. It's suble menance, unlike Sephiroth's which you pick out with the first cords. This is PERSONAL preference. As is yours. I agree to dissagree and leave it at that.

  • love you too... besides you must be careful strees is bad for beauty you know, if you will get excited too much like now... you can become a hag... and this is what we dont want to, dont you think ?? xd

  • You're degenerating to personal attacks. You know nothing of my life, and for the record, you jerk, I was in the hospital for an anxiety/stress almost-heart attack and attempted suicide. Not because of you, but because the love of my life for eight years sent me a self-addressed letter telling me he didn't love me. I'm not beautiful and I'm not the most pleasant person at the moment, but you, my dear, are a jerk. Thank you. I wasn't cruel to you, and you're being cruel to me. How I love people.

  • Oh, the drama! Do I need to call the WHAAAMBULANCE to come rescue you?

  • Again, you are degenerating to personal attacks and are a sad excuse for a member of humanity. Kindly leave me be. I will not respond to you any more.

  • OK. Go ahead and cry it all out. Come back when you feel better.

  • to my last comment, it nothing to add i could say.

  • @carrrer whatever dude. that's ur opinion

  • @532131 Sephiroth has a theme ? I'm sorry, I just don't pay attention to overrated RPGs, lol.

  • great video and great skills. i think it could use a bit more feeling - some places sounded a bit dull without it. regardless, i wish i could play like you!

  • I second that shivers comment; I'm freezing!

  • oooo that song sends shivers down my spine

  • this is the best song in CT.magus is also the best character

  • You have a bit of a typo in the description. The letters "one of" have mysteriously appeared in between "is" and "the greatest game ever."

  • I agree.

  • I also agree!

  • your pedaling is wack

  • nice but u recorded it too loud so it is clipping and buzzing.. record it softer and then if u have to make it louder in ur sound editor

  • Magus is by far the best character in the game!!!

  • yes

  • LOL

  • i used to be able to play this song Then one day it totally escaped my mind {I play by ear so once the song falls out its hard for me to peice it back together

  • Fantastic! The buzz was a bit distracting though. =)

  • that songs has a spaniard tone to it

  • I'm pretty sure Magus is the most powerful character in the game, if you don't count Ayla's Lv99 fist. 9999 in one hit without using a combo is a rare thing in Tiggamajig.

  • YeaH, but he has no combos. I like Frog a lot, frog squash fucking rules.

  • He's got one with two of the ladies. You need a special item for it though.

  • Yeah, you need the black rock for his combo, "Dark Eternal". I haven't managed to complete it, yet, though, because I haven't gotten "Dark Matter" for Magus, yet...

  • yo, u get black rock in the dark ages, 2nd library building, water book, wind book, fire book. and a sheep'l give it to ya.

  • i liked magus as a character in the game but i never used him because he couldnt do combos

  • Ok, I checked, and I was right! E phrygian...at least to start.

  • What key is this written in? I could check, but it sounds like something phrygian.

  • great playing but ur on a keybord u should ahve used a diffrent midi voice . my thought 4\5

  • Very nice. Music like this always makes me want to go play and get better and better. I'm a newbie at the moment (3 weeks maybe?) But someday I hope I can be like this. I can only play the beginning at the moment.

  • Magus is definately cooler than Frog.

  • Magus' theme is fuckin' badass.

    Nice piano skills you have there. I just have one complaint; I think you should have used a better keyboard.

  • magus song kicks ass

  • Great Playing!!!

  • Great job! Now I see why people are always telling me with my fingers I'd be good at piano... Mine fingers are long like that, and I see now how it helps...

  • May i ask how old you are?

  • You may. I'm 20 :)

  • i can sorta play this, except only on normal piano, and single fingerin, ig u nio wat i mean

  • You're awesome!

  • There´s a noise on the background!!! Oh man... my ears...

    But I really liked you version!!!

    Very Good!!!

  • This is a really good piano version. 5/5

    It'd be kool if everyone checked out my guitar version as well.

  • it bring back the memory when i fought magus and i wooped him bad lol

  • Hp;y crap! I loved this song!

  • awesome! love it so much!

    very well done, except at 1.18 ^^

    thank you so much

  • i have the same keyboard and i always play that song

  • i do really love this theme :D

  • oohhh i got goosebumps! :D too bad i keeped on killing Magus with Frog...teehee

  • yea. Magus's theme is badass

  • The black wind howls... One among you will perish soon.

    Uhhhh wait... I´m among you too, I was just kidding you... Yeah, that´s it.

  • correct except for "soon"

  • Not me. You'd be amazed at the mental abuse I've sustained from the dreams I always have. death shall set me free and from the chains of life shall it unbind me, and when those chains are broken so too shall this world be.

  • The black wind blows. I shall find you, Schala...(yeah I know I'm taking bits from different parts of the game, but I creep people the hell out when I say it.)

  • The guy's right, you've got weird fingers lol! But I guess that helps for playing hehe, keep it up! Nice way to play that theme!

  • Marfans Syndrome, chill out.

  • Thanks, one of my favourite themes (others are the sadness/robo theme, schala, and this one =P) I have a question for you, while you were playing, did you hear the music in your heart?

  • I have that same keyboard.

  • By the way... What happens to your thumb of your left hand? It's kinda... thin and long... It look weird O_o Maybe it's the light or something ·_·

  • Amazing! I was stuck, I didn't know what to play but I'm gonna try this one! 5/5!

  • my favorite CT midi. gj.

  • magus was just understood :( and no he didn't need a hug

  • Awesome! This was my favourite music of the game

  • Nice...Magus is one of my favorite RPG villains ever.

  • Magus was not a Villian. He was trying to summon Lavos so he could destroy him when Chrono and Frog stoped him, Causing Lavos to awaken.

  • Magus wasn't a hero, either. He was an anti-hero.

  • coolness man.. brings back the memories...

  • There is an OC Remix of Magus' Theme its called Atonement by Darangen.

  • I love that song it's so dark, so eery that it fills you with a feeling of power when you play or hear it. I have been playing the piano for only 7 years now but I hope to play longer still. I wish I had the sheet music to learn this song, my brother would love me dearly for it:P
