Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as Chrono Cross. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
As a person who truly thinks that there is nothing better than sitting down to a good RPG (as some other people i know), and as a person who has played and loved every final fantasy the game chrono cross was a step above the rest in many aspects from story to gameplay and by far the music is top notch. So why don't all of you involved in the making of the game just give yourself a pat on the back.
I dont know why ppl say CC isnt related to CT either you havent played CC entirely or just missed alot of the plot just to finish off the game.Each and every dialogue had lots of hints that showed plots of chrono trigger.The character Guiles was MEANT to be magus but soft didnt want that cos it would ve taken more time to create another story for Magus s role in CC .So they made him Magus in disguise.
Chrono Cross (クロノ・クロス, Kurono Kurosu?) is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the PlayStation video game console. It is the sequel to Chrono Trigger, which was released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Chrono Cross was developed primarily by scenarist and director Masato Kato and other designers from Chrono Trigger, including art director Yasuyuki Honne and composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Nobuteru Yūki is the character designer.
I remember when Hiro, Lead violinist as well as Head of the Group eminence was outside the Japanese Book shop playing this Solo to promote the concert :3
after watching this. I nearly started to cry. These young adults performed this song from the heart. Its beautiful. CC best game ever. I don't care what people say. I still play this game to this day. I does shows pits an peices of info from CT. No FF game can ever come this good. Not even the current games that are coming out.
lol after watching another vid of eminence playing this in a concert hall, i can't help but notice how different the acoustics of the rooms affect the song... nonetheless awesome performance!

i wish that was so to but, due to many reason the 3rd chrono game will not be made, ill try to explain one reason as best as i can. there were 2 english releases of chrono cross one in 2000 i believe and 2001 please correct me if im wrong but, anyways when they released chrono cross it was such a hit fans wanted a remake, but square didnt want to rush it, but fans kept on asking and so they released it again w/ no added features and such leading to its own downfall.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
chrono cross was beautiful in story line and music, a game maybe not....i believe that the reason chrono cross wasnt so succesful was because of its battle system and it differed from the plot of the original but lets be honest i didnt love it as much as trigger but near the end at the dead sea ( spoiler) where you see crono omg that was a heart stopper non the less it didnt deserve what peoples opinions gave it.
false. That battle style was brand-new in that moment. That was awesome. One of a lot of things in the saga. (CT and CC). Of course, try to compare CC against FFXIII, it means a lot of years in difference, but take a look at the battle style. It is something similar. And apparently, we cannot release a new game because of copyrights. The people who made this game now are working at different companies.
honestly I don't really see the point of comparing CT to CC. They're not really related even though CC was sort of hyped as the sequel to CT and many of us were disappointed to find that it was definitely not. Essentially they're independent games both with great storylines and great music. It'd be like comparing Zelda and CT, both very fun with great music, but they're different.
well i can see ur point chrono cross is a good stand alone game but, if u pay attention to certain things in the story u can see how they are connected. guile is magus, rescueing schala, the girl on gaea's naval looking like ayla, the ghosts at the end of the game in chronopolis, crono nadia and lucca, kid being schala's clone, and so on. chrono cross is not the original sequel to CT tho radical dreamers is but it failed so they made chrono cross, i hoped this has made things clearer.
@tiftmasta that's silly.. it's like comparing zelda and CT? hell no. CT and CC still shares quite a few threads. It would be more like comparing Zelda: Ocarina of Time with Zelda: Twilight Princess. Every Link in a new Zelda is a new Link. Same with CT and CC, it's not CT2, it's CC. New better story with more depth but in a new universe.
@Sessan hot damn, I wrote that like a year ago. Someone likes reading youtube comments it seems. I have probably forgotten a lot, but I don't remember too much similarity between CC and CT enough to justify the sequel hype. It's the same way I feel about how Bioshock was the "sequel to System Shock" when it really wasn't. They did share many gampelay similarities though like the Zelda series despite the fact that characters/universe are/is technically changing.
@tiftmasta Chrono cross wouldnt have existed if it werent for the plot of Schala and Magus.Which is what gave way for Kid to exist.And the fact that the time devourer too existed.So yes,Chrono cross is a sequel to chrono trigger according to fact.
@tiftmasta CC would never have existed if it werent for the plot of Schala and Magus in CT.Which explains Kid's existence in CC.And the time devourer.(almost spoiler) Potential gamers dont want to be spoiled further .But if you play every single part of the game you will realise it is actually a sequel to chrono trigger.Just cos its a diffrent dimension does not mean its not related to Chrono trigger at all.According to official fact CC is a sequel to CT.
FUCKING LOVE IT!! The piano was soft but yet, powerful. From 2:12 on, i luv it. this song is so touching. This is by far, one of my most favorite videos on you tube!!!! thx for posting it!! <3 <3 <3 <3
I agree that the piano part is powerful without being loud. I've heard performances where the piano volume increases to try to make it sound more passionate, which doesn't always work

Crono cross was a massive disappointment in comparison to Crono Trigger, they had a good story, they had some good characters (but shouldn't have put so damn many in), but it was too taken from the whole concept of the original game. I'm willing to bet that it would have been better if they had also used the same opening scene as the video novel that it was based off of (Radical Dreamers for the super Nintendo). Needless to say, it was a disappointment compared to its predecessor.
chrono cross was superior imo. while trigger is an amazing game and has awesome characters, i found cross had much more emotion and depth to its plot, and gave the feeling of an epic story being told through visuals.
the gameplay was also more fun and the music is just plain incredible (as seen above). while i love chrono trigger to death and agree it's an awesome game, i don't think anything can compare with the chrono cross. it's a masterpiece in my eyes.
@Besil Except for that weird final boss :P Chrono Trigger made more sense, but Chrono Cross was a great audiovisual experience, and did feel very epic.
@Besil Same here! I agree so much. I replayed Cross so much, it's not even funny. I have been a huge fan of Yasunori's work since the game came out and I've never stopped loving the game and the music.
@Besil Well Chrono cross IS a masterpiece majorly thanks to Chrono trigger.So I would in turn say Chrono Trigger was a masterpiece to begin with.Chrono cross too.Both are so UNIQUE!
True, CC was a disappointment for me too, too many characters, lacking storyline (or rather, it wasn't presented well enough aside from the beginning and the ending). However, the music was GOD.
Todas las versiones que escucho de Radical Dreamers son emocionantes, son todas perfectas, hermosas. Los sonidos del violin, el piano y el cello (en otras interpretaciones) hacen una combinación perfecta. Lo mejor de todo es que hay interpretaciones donde se tocan solo con violin, o solo un piano y siguen siendo magníficas.
Los músicos son muy talentosos, sigan asi
Sería bueno también que alguien interprete temas del OST de Alundra (compositor Kehei Tanaka) también tiene lindos temas
I like this song a lot.. but i think they need to practice it more 'cuz the time goes up and down.. it start very good but gets to fast.. still pretty good..
I'm sorry you got so many thumbs down man! even though he gets a great sound out of the violin, I have to agree, it kind of feels off beat some times, although classical music has a lot of stuff that isn't exact, and the result sounds very good.
@akiraguy well u just cant beat music that has a soul no matter how long or what the trend is real beauty is timeless i get the feeling that the guy who made it really put their hearts into making something worthy of utmost respect and hell this came from a video game of all things ^^
not square, but Yasunori Mitsuda. he deserves all the credits for the OST, no square nor any of its staff. yes it was from the golden age of squaresoft, but its a masterpiece made only by yasunori mitsuda himself. nobody else has anything to do with this song.
cheer for mitsuda, not square. the old good one is dead. what we have now is a mercenary.
man..this song is just too beautiful! the way they play it, the way it sounds, its just...AMAZING!!! People and music like this is what inspired me to pick up the violin! The pianio player is more than great, the celloist is so soothing, and the violinist is amazing! Truly one of the greatest peices of ALL time!!!
Oh... my... god... this is just incredible. I mean seriously, that violin just made a beautiful song sound even more beautiful. I seriously am awestruck by the sheer beauty of this arrangement. Definitely my new favorite video on all of YouTube.
I haven't seen so many awsome comments ona youtube page in soo long, everyone here is here because they appreciate and love something worth appreciating. Very refreshing to see....This is a beautiful song, amazingly well done composition, I loved Chrono Cross and this brings back soo many great memories, for me. And I get the feeling all of you feel the same way too....it feels good, sorry if that sounds real lame but yeah....
Thank you SO much, MasterLL!!! And Tomoyo, of course :) My favorite part of this has to be from about 3:12 or so to the end of the song, when the violin and cello play in sync. *slow breath* So, so, beautiful :') (<--smiling with tears in eyes. Sorry if that's a little gay, lol) Anyway, thanks again!
Even the greatest warlords and warriors in the history of the human race had their battlesongs. If there is one thing able and allowed to move every man, it is music.
you may not believe me, but you can try and restart the game you might see something you have missed and be grabed into the story more... honestly though the game is not for everyone.
I know that everything you do currently effects what happens in the future in that game. The fighting style is chitty if you don't understand it. The story grabbed me when I had to kill the Hydra and destroy the forest to save kid. There's alot of replay value. Really,it's not for everyone. I just love a great story. And the Final Fantasy series kinda got boring after beating 4,5,6,7,9, and half of 8.(8 was insanely boring but 9 is marvelous.) Crono Trigger & Cross are good alternatives
The story is a little slow at first. It does start to pick up in Termina, so be patient. You can take three paths in Termina, it's one of the first times in the game the storyline splits.
the chrono series is definitely one of the best soundtracks ever composed in video game history. One thing I didn't like about this performance was that the violinist was waaay out of tempo. Either he was rushing or he just didn't know how to time it right..
this game's music is great. i don't understand why people don't know about the chrono when it comes to game musics. instead, i hear people saying zelda musics are the best. in my view, people only enjoy zelda musics cause theyre a fan of zelda & they support fan stuff. i never played chrono cross and not a fan but the musics drew me. thats how we know if music is good. the music attracts first not the game theres a such thing as good music. sound ain't on the ear of the beholder cc proves it.
Agreed. RPG's had so much magic back when they relied on characters and story to drive the player through, rather than convoluted magic systems and retardedly placed CG's that felt like a reward for trudging through bullshit.
Also, Kingdom Hearts? Kinda agreed. Loved the first one, but didn't really like the direction the second took. Have you played Shadow Hearts series at all? :D
I couldn't get my hands on the first Shadow Hearts, so I never started playing it... yet.
The same thing happened with Atellier Iris, and I'm totally clueless about whether Guilty Gear is a fighting game or an action-based RPG.
I'm okay with Kingdom Hearts 2, aside from the story that was inferior, the battle system was upgraded by a mile, it's pretty good compared to the stupid ATB system Square always implants in RPGs.
But Crisis Core doesn't strike me as much as Kingdom Hearts though...
Buena cancion "Radical Dreamers" del famoso Juego "Chrono Cross"... trate y trate y nunka pude Voltear el juego me quede atascado! xD! Mela sea traigan eL "CC" en español
Sorry man...suikoden isn't as good as Chrono Cross (in my opinion) and Chrono Cross only loses to Legend of Mana.But Chrono Cross's soundtrack really is one of the best of all time.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
for all those chrono cross fans, try suikoden 1 and 2 in ps1. your perception about the best rpg game in ps1 might change. though sony already got ps3 but still you haven't played the best rpg in ps1 yet. you still know nothing when it comes in rpg games in ps1. chrono cross is a good game but not the best.
sí es muuuy buena música, pero no la mejor... Final tiene música increíble, Legend of Dragoon también e incluso juegos de menos categoría como Guardian's Crusade... Pero no deja de ser un excelente OST el de Chrono
One of the best OST´s that i have listened. The music in this game is perfectly harmonized in each scene. I wish they play the Nikki´s song or the one of the battle aganaist Miguel/Dario ("people imprisoned by destiny").
I always think about Kid,Serge, and Lynx everytime I hear this. I wonder what happened to them after the game....Now Im depressed.lol...And I miss my harle!
i don't like their interpretation either. i think changing the guitar part to piano was quite a bad move. the sound of the guitar backing was supposed to be bright, lively, the piano made it unnecessarily dark. the violin part was very nicely played except that he should have held the sustain notes and played with the dynamics. it would sound nicer like that. imagine chocolate melting in your mouth to get a feel of what i'm saying for that part.
ahm... I don't seem to understand why the piano over the guitar seemed bad to you... I think that the Eminence did a very good job, like always, but everyone have their own likes, so I respect, but disagree.
i think the violininst should have sustained a few of the notes just a bit longer, or ratehr did a very nice long decrescendo followed by a crescendo. i'm sure it sounds much nicer than a small bit of silence.
small timing issues but that kid has expression, thumbs up, keep the spirit of squaresoft alive. :)

Sorry if that's a little gay, lol) Anyway, thanks again!

Even the greatest warlords and warriors in the history of the human race had their battlesongs. If there is one thing able and allowed to move every man, it is music.

Someone please convince me why I should keep playing chrono cross. I just got to termina and it's not grabbing me. That and the combat sucks.
Stophocles 3 years ago
you may not believe me, but you can try and restart the game you might see something you have missed and be grabed into the story more... honestly though the game is not for everyone.
mfb2024 3 years ago
I know that everything you do currently effects what happens in the future in that game. The fighting style is chitty if you don't understand it. The story grabbed me when I had to kill the Hydra and destroy the forest to save kid. There's alot of replay value. Really,it's not for everyone. I just love a great story. And the Final Fantasy series kinda got boring after beating 4,5,6,7,9, and half of 8.(8 was insanely boring but 9 is marvelous.) Crono Trigger & Cross are good alternatives

The story is a little slow at first. It does start to pick up in Termina, so be patient. You can take three paths in Termina, it's one of the first times in the game the storyline splits.

the chrono series is definitely one of the best soundtracks ever composed in video game history. One thing I didn't like about this performance was that the violinist was waaay out of tempo. Either he was rushing or he just didn't know how to time it right..

this game's music is great. i don't understand why people don't know about the chrono when it comes to game musics. instead, i hear people saying zelda musics are the best. in my view, people only enjoy zelda musics cause theyre a fan of zelda & they support fan stuff. i never played chrono cross and not a fan but the musics drew me. thats how we know if music is good. the music attracts first not the game theres a such thing as good music. sound ain't on the ear of the beholder cc proves it.

Best Soundtrack : Chrono Cross and Breath of Fire 4
Favorite main char : Suikoden 2
Most touching story : Legend Of Mana
Biggest impression in my head : Lunar 2
Most memorable : Final Fantasy 6
Classics feel so much better than the games these days. All but Kingdom Hearts seem to suck.
zoro105 3 years ago 5
Agreed. RPG's had so much magic back when they relied on characters and story to drive the player through, rather than convoluted magic systems and retardedly placed CG's that felt like a reward for trudging through bullshit.
Also, Kingdom Hearts? Kinda agreed. Loved the first one, but didn't really like the direction the second took. Have you played Shadow Hearts series at all? :D
Idolores 3 years ago 3
I couldn't get my hands on the first Shadow Hearts, so I never started playing it... yet.
The same thing happened with Atellier Iris, and I'm totally clueless about whether Guilty Gear is a fighting game or an action-based RPG.
I'm okay with Kingdom Hearts 2, aside from the story that was inferior, the battle system was upgraded by a mile, it's pretty good compared to the stupid ATB system Square always implants in RPGs.
But Crisis Core doesn't strike me as much as Kingdom Hearts though...

Sorry man...suikoden isn't as good as Chrono Cross (in my opinion) and Chrono Cross only loses to Legend of Mana.But Chrono Cross's soundtrack really is one of the best of all time.

for all those chrono cross fans, try suikoden 1 and 2 in ps1. your perception about the best rpg game in ps1 might change. though sony already got ps3 but still you haven't played the best rpg in ps1 yet. you still know nothing when it comes in rpg games in ps1. chrono cross is a good game but not the best.
jrafael11 3 years ago
You're absolutely right about Chrono Cross not being the best RPG for PS1. After all, nothing beats Valkyrie Profile.

arcanis223 4 years ago
i don't like their interpretation either. i think changing the guitar part to piano was quite a bad move. the sound of the guitar backing was supposed to be bright, lively, the piano made it unnecessarily dark. the violin part was very nicely played except that he should have held the sustain notes and played with the dynamics. it would sound nicer like that. imagine chocolate melting in your mouth to get a feel of what i'm saying for that part.
renj123 4 years ago
ugh i realise i posted something like this already earlier on -,-....
well, it's a cover and i respect that, but if you can't make it different and yet better, i'd rather you do it the same. it'll still sound nice.
renj123 4 years ago
ahm... I don't seem to understand why the piano over the guitar seemed bad to you... I think that the Eminence did a very good job, like always, but everyone have their own likes, so I respect, but disagree.

i think the violininst should have sustained a few of the notes just a bit longer, or ratehr did a very nice long decrescendo followed by a crescendo. i'm sure it sounds much nicer than a small bit of silence.
