  • This game was so emotional, i loved the way it ended (the true ending) and it's still my number one RPG of all time. PLEASE, square-enix, make a third installment to the series! I was so disappointed when chrono resurrection was canceled.

  • God damn this song feels so good!

  • I miis this game.. :(

  • This should have been #1 on this list, and this is from someone who was supremely disappointed with this game yet loves FF6.

  • This song speaks volumes, when you first hear it is just after Serge is beginning to realize that something's different now. But what could it be? There's something deep but mysterious going on, and there's no way to go but forward into the beyond in the water to find the answer.

  • I feel taken away everytime I hear this song...

  • omg at chrono cross i am crying right now

  • Dream of the shore near another world ... beautiful ...

  • Years later, I can still hum this song note for note. Yasunori Mitsuda is a genius.

  • This song just screams sadness...

  • Actually I was standing on the shore at the beach yesterday and this song came to mind. So I started playing this and some of the people around me started listen as well. The compliments that I got were some of the best I've ever gotten in my life.

  • i know it doesn't matter but I love the game. amazing game with one of the best soundtrack's i've ever heard

    <3

  • call me lame, but when I first heard this song, tears starting rolling down my face...

  • @FelinialFriend Lame? I prefer the word "human". :)

  • I actually didn't find the game that good, but this song alone made it worth playing.

  • Really beautiful indeed.

  • Dam i Miss This Game :@

  • Ethereal.

  • God bless you, Mitsuda. And I'm agnostic. All I'm saying is if there's a heaven, you should be in it.

  • @JustinT2

    Yeah this game was underrated by a lot the CT players because imho the story was kinda complex and you didn't travel through time like in CT. I myself played this game first before playing CT that was in the PS1 FF Chronicles collection. I personally like this game because it was unique in it's own way.

  • It's a shame this game will never be fully appreciated for the artistic creation it is, due to forever being in Chrono Trigger's shadow. If this game were called by a different name, people might not have overlooked it for not being CT 2.

  • @Cecilink60 people overlooked chrono cross?

  • A week ago or so I decided to check youtube for the world map songs of Final Fantasy, because everyone knows, they are fantastic. By pure chance, I stumbled upon this top 50 list and listened through it and found THIS song. This song alone was enough for me to check out Chrono Cross and I must say, it actually rivals Final Fantasy VII in everything. It's nothing short of a f-ing fantastic game! Thank you for this list! Though.. I can't help but feel this should be 1st place.

  • Mitsuda aka God of Sound

  • The TRUE #1 song hidden in the #2 spot...

  • Can't believe this was used for one of the beats in devlin's tunes. Grime tends to rinse a lot of VG music, guess all the producers must play a lot of games. Epic tune anyway, gives me shivers up my spine every time i hear it (ever since I first heard it on the floating islands in CT!)

  • This is amazing. I never owned this game, only watched bits and pieces at a friend's house, but this song alone makes me wanna pick it up.

  • I had forgotten how beautiful this song is !!!

    I use to listen to it all the time years ago ... how could i forgot this !!

  • 0:13 I love it when the violin kicks in.... =D

  • WOW

  • 13 people were born in the wrong dimension.

  • @UltimaterializerX

    Not clever. Way too overdone. Never make a comment like that again.

  • @dininelbourne Not clever. Way too overdone. Never make a comment like that again.

  • @dininelbourne Not clever. Way too overdone. Never make a comment like that again.

  • Imagine sitting on a wide open beach all alone, with super white sand and turquoise blue water (best example would be Bora Bora), listening to this song. 

  • Uh no shadowsaber. Just no.

  • Despite how bad this game was, it had great music.

  • @shadowsaber2 bad!? this game was a masterpiece and the epitome of square's RPG creations.

  • @DaDugglas It was bad in comparison to other RPG's of its time, it could've had more potential if it wasn't rushed.

  • @shadowsaber2 absolutely wrong, this game was an amazing piece of gaming nostalgia, still one of my favorite games of all time.

  • @DaDugglas it was really only "bad" to the die hard fans of chrono trigger. judged by itself, it's absolutely amazing. shame square lost their mojo from those days :(

  • god this is beautifull!

    Wish i could play through this game once in my life..!

    but listening to the music is a treat on it's own already ^_^

  • @garfreeek umm...just look for it on Amazon or Ebay, trust me you'll find it, you'll probably have to pay a meaty fee for it though.

  • @brushfireman considering I don't own any of the ps's...yhea mountains of cash =D

  • Music is awesome, and I like the picture, it just sort of fits to the music :-D

  • Anyone else wish our world was like Final Fantasy or Chrono Chross?

  • @maldread88

    You don't even know dude... you don't even know...

  • @MarrickFait Lol i so do know. Everyone says if they had 1 wish itd be to be rich or be famouse or gain something but id with for a new world like those 2. Yea itd be dangerous but itd atleast have adventure..Yea...Adventure.... and Chocobos LOL

  • @maldread88

    Oh! I forgot about chocobo's!

    And I would try my best to be a great warrior.

    I mean hell, Wakka had no reason to be extra stron ghahaha

  • @MarrickFait LOL im still FF7 all the way

  • @maldread88 yes all the time actually

  • @maldread88

    thats why these games are so great

  • @maldread88

    Not if there are so many damn monsters XD

  • @JohnnyLeyenda LawL =))))))))))

  • @JohnnyLeyenda I welcome the monster's. Without them it wouldnt be the full package of being able to adventure and fight them.

  • @maldread88

    I get your point, but when you're a videogame hero monsters usually kill the people you love so I wouldn't risk that happening XD

  • @JohnnyLeyenda Idk I might risk it lol love em as much as ya want but eventually there gonna go so might as well g out in a flash of glory xD

  • @maldread88 ...the idea scares me shitless

  • @maldread88 Not really, I actually wish our world would be kind of like Animal crossing, cause its peaceful and what not. If our world was like Final Fantasy or Chrono Cross, well, wouldn't we have all this fighting all the time? And magic and dimensional battles? I'd rather those stay in videogames. Though I would like to go through dimensions.

  • @KrazyKompany well you can just go suck it living like in ac gets boring, gotta get some of that action ;D

  • @maldread88 i... seriously just raped that like button... and i'm proud of it :)

  • @maldread88 Nope cause it would be shit if it was if you think about it logically

  • @maldread88 Chrono Cross, maybe. Not final fantasy though. I wish the world was like a suikoden game! That would be awesome!

  • #1 World Map Song in my Book!

  • Damn. I've never played Chrono Cross but what an amazing song. IMO this should be #1 and thats considering I've played FFVI like 5 times.

  • If I'm not mistaken this song isn't called "Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World". It's called "On the beach of Dreams".

  • @LucidDream

    I have the offical japanese album and this song is called "Dream of the Shore Bordering Another World"

  • @MaizeSaane Yeah, I did quite take it into consideration. Spoke too soon I guess. Either way, it's a lovely tune.

  • The feel of this theme makes you excited and at the same time, sad because you don't know when, or if, you can go home again. I love it

  • Great choices for your first and second, I don't think it really matters which is better between this and FFVI's world theme, they're both amazing.

  • So beautiful. I want this song on my burial : )

    Thank you for uploading this and all the other stuff. must be a lot of work.

    Thank you!

  • Holy crap, I get goosebumps from this song. Oddly enough, I didn't get it as much the first time I listened to it. It's growing on me now. So sad and beautiful at the same time. Probably the most beautiful world map theme I've ever heard.

  • f*ck!!! i'ved miss this game.. i'ved miss this song.. so beautiful.. but a very difficult game that i didn't finish.. =(

  • Mitsuda you lovely Japanese man! =D

  • takes me back to when i first played it...such a beutiful song

  • Reminds me a little of "The Scientist" by Coldplay. Though I like this better :-)

  • Beauty has now a name: Chrono Cross's Dream of a shore!

  • This is in my personal top 3. And I've never played this game.

  • @Xarnax42 D: then go play it asap! its amazing, you must.

  • Epic.

  • This is just one of those songs that plays it's way straight into my heart. Love Chrono Cross. <3

  • My own personal #1.

  • anyone know where i can get this game i've been searching for 3yrs but no luck

  • @xjuakjux seriously?? oh my fuckkk that sucks. me and my brother have the original (not greatest hits) and the disk is flawless ohh, go gamestop hunting. we used to find games in the used and cheap section and trust me they have some rare underrated games out there:)

  • @ingridcanales thanks i'll do that this weekend then thanks soooo much ive been searching for ages ;)

  • chrono cross is a great game it's even greater for the great songs it have in the game..xD love the game and the songs..xD square enix always have the best musicians to create cool and relaxing songs..xD

  • chrono cross is a great game it's even greater for the great songs it have in the game..xD love the game and the songs..xD square enix always have the best musicians to create cool and relaxing songs..xD

  • Chrono Cross and Trigger are both full of amazing music, it blows my mind how many of these songs get stuck in your head, it's great music to just relax too and I agree Mitsuda and Uematsu's music is some of the highest quality out there.

  • Man this song is undoubtedly classifiable "professionnal". I would not be surprised to hear it in a serious concert with alot of musicians (like with FF music wich is already the case). It would be so exalting to be there if it happens someday.

  • @wXingVinny

    Actualy, there are alotta orchestras who play these songs, youtubem, some aint half bad

  • @stridren

    Yes, this soundtrack was one of the first console games to actually include not just MIDI in the game. Others at the time just seemed to use physical instruments in their intros and endings.

  • Mitsuda. Nuff said.

  • I JUST started a new game of Chrono Cross last night since first playing it back in 2001. I remembered liking the world map theme from Another World, but I didn't remember the song as I hadn't heard it in almost a decade.

    My jaw dropped when I heard it again.

    So beautiful. Definitely deserves this spot.

  • when i was on the world map for the first time i heard this and i was omg

  • Theme so beatiful it almost makes my eyes wet. Dude, you've played like 3 lifetimes of RPG's

  • Underworld23 you are the best, you gather all of these great songs/themes together that just scream nostalgia. Thank you, everything has been real down hill for me lately, but listening to these songs makes everything that much better.

    The memories = (

  • All who played this game know what it means for us, yes Nostalgia, I also miss this game a lot and havent played anything like this to the time, beautiful in every way, Best soundtrack ever!!! When my time comes I will like to hear thins song before

  • NOSTALGIA!!!

    listening to the soundtrack makes me want to play it again...

    f*ck!! i miss this game.

  • me too...

  • i think i just had a nostalgia attack :D

  • I used to stand around and just listen to this xD

  • I love this word map theme with a passion, im glad Underworld23 had it so high (low) on his top 50 :D

  • I am cry..... u.u :( great theme...... u,u

  • Best map theme ever

  • amazing game great soundtrack and an epic story this one takes me back,5 stars bro thanks for posting

  • Screw DS. We don't need legendary games on those wannabe consoles. We need them on something big. Something that worth it. I got Chrono Trigger on SNES and I rather play it than the ''remastered'' version they did on DS. 13 years for a DS edition. Wow.

  • @Karzuck Sounds like someone's taking themselves--and their games--a little too seriously.

  • @Cosuin Nah seriously man, it was hell of a great game and they just made a marketing shot over it. All I say is that they could have improved it much more before taking another version out but yeah...always a pleasure to get back at people commenting on posts that are 3 weeks old.

  • @Karzuck You might call it a marketing ploy and, at least to some extent, it was. You might also consider the fact that re-releases give a wider, more contemporary audience an opportunity to play a game which was previously only available in extremely limited quantities on defunct platforms. (P.S. The age of one's comments means nothing. It was still on the front page, and I happened to read it when I elected to watch this video. Thanks for pointing out useless information, though).

  • @Cosuin I call it marketing ploy, end of story. I don't care about your P.S. and yes I'll come back at you every single time. Keep trying.

  • I agree, it is a marketing ploy. They never should have brought back the greatest RPG of all time without changing it significantly. I mean, it's not even 3D! Developers should learn to remove their nostalgia glasses and know that people don't want to play a 13-year-old game, especially if they've already played it and it's a JRPG with no replay value ("New Game+" doesn't count).

  • @Cats777 I would play Chrono Trigger over and over and over again, best game of all time. And nostalgia is what makes it beautiful. I played it 10 years after it was released and the graphics didn't bother me.

  • @Karzuck But you can't carry your SNES on the train on your way to work though! :D

    Although arguably, I don't have a DS either. ;P Pocket emulator FTW.

  • @Karzuck I think that was more for people that never got the chance to play it on the snes, now they have their chance. It's also good for people that like their rpgs on the go. I agree though, that their isn't enough different about the ds version to warrant me to buy it since I've already played the snes one.

  • chrono cross ds please!!!

  • ds nott that powerful

    maybe next gen

  • i understand,i'm gonna keep a light of hope for it though this song makes me want the game even more every time i hear it...............

  • rable is right, the DS isn't powerful enough to handle Chrono Cross. I'm glad there are people out there that like the game, I've seen many other people who put it in the dirt.

  • !!! CHrono Cross! One of the best games ever made! And In my opinion the best soundtrack ever... !

  • this song sounds like it doesn't belong on a world map,instead in a emotional scene like a event of people talking.

  • @Protilisk Chrono TRIGGER, yes.. No dispute on the music, but give me CT or Secret of Mana anyday.

  • @Protilisk

    try lunar for an awesome soundtrack as well.

  • I remember going to the map, JUST so I could hear this song. This has to be, without a doubt, one of my favourite songs ever. Hell, this entire soundtrack is amazing! Chrono Cross OST, for the definite win! :D.

  • agreed, the soundtrack to this game is truly amazing.

  • if u like this you should listen to devlin - community outcast. he samples it :D

  • This is one of the greatest overworld songs ever. It seems so mysterious and calm.

  • I love this soundtrack.

  • Chills down my spine.. this is out of this world lol.

  • same here!

  • This was the Another World theme? Great choice.

  • As long as this song made the top five, you're good, the rest don't even matter.

  • Perfect Song!! my favorite, my #1 no doubt!

  • First On My List

  • I have always wondered why certain individuals capitalize the first letter of every word in a sentence. Can you explain this to me?

  • I Don't Know What You're Talking About.

  • Capitalize Every Word In A Sentence? Pfff.. Who Does That?

  • this game is a legend in the roleplaying genra another one nothing can compare to this was one of the first roleplaying games i ever played

  • This is definitely #1 on my list; perfection.

  • agreed

  • *has to agree*...

  • Yep superb song here.

  • I think that Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross have the best over world themes. They aren't too uppity or strong. I used to let my game idle while I read to listen to this song.

  • this song rocks

  • I guess you had to limit it to 2 per series...otherwise every single one of Chrono Trigger's themes would have been on the list (and there are a lot of them!)

  • Best song EVER!!! I seriously love this song; it's so sad, especially the first time I'd heard it after knowing that Leena didn't remember Serge, or believe him for that matter. Great song, should have been number one, but two is all right. =]

  • FF is overrated by non-musical gamers.. pfft.. this should be first.

  • "non-musical gamers" the internet is getting more and more stupid every passing day

  • i dont think so... maybe intellectually privileged people like me are slowly withdrawing themselves from the online population which is currently being overrun by inbred 10 year olds

  • "intellectually privileged" haha this just keeps getting better and better. Sorry man, but discussing music from a Japanese video game hardly makes you intellectual.

  • im just stretching my sarcasm muscle. u should try it sometime thoug..

  • @deedeearemaster the only stupid and "non-musical gamer" here is you... love CC music :)

  • @saphi20 >.> He was talking about other people and games that don't care about the music so you don't need to call him stupid.

  • This is so touchy. *-*

  • this should've been #1, but i guess i can settle for 2nd.

  • How lucky are we JRPG fans, that the two greatest video game composers of all time both worked for Squaresoft? Mitsuda and Uematsu are gods of music. And this song defines beauty and wonder for me.

  • Ah the chrono cross soundtrack is just beautiful. Probably my favorite soundtrack ever. This game has stuck with me for a very long time. So memorable. Maybe I should play it again sometime soon.

  • Chrono Cross world map theme is >>> (much greater than) FF6's theme!!

  • NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Agreed, soulsab3r. It's just so epic. ^^

  • No way! Terra's theme and Searching For Friends are better than this.

  • I also agree soulsab3r, Chrono Cross soundtrack is way better. It just never gets old!

  • Not surprising this came in second.

    I remember stopping when I heard this song for the first time. Incredibly emotional. I don't think there's anyone in the world who doesn't think of an important time in their life when they hear it.

    It's sounds cheesy, but it's true, right?

  • You're right, I did it too, and sometimes when I was playing the game for a long time and felt asleep, I simply stood on my bed listening to this song till I fell sleep.

    Really relaxing.

  • Big smile from me :)

  • tremensdous song

  • Never played Chrono Cross myself and only checked this out because it came second only to Terra's Theme (which deserved the number 1 spot) and I can see why this ranked so high.

    This is an AMAZING track!!
